Locals Helping Locals

[outofadream]

Thank you for the terrific job you were doing keeping up with local restaurants. Is there a list anywhere of restaurants selling gift cards with the special mentioned?

I suggested weeks ago on this forum for people to buy gift cards and give them to workers on the front line… Medical personnel.. first responders are policemen and firemen, truck drivers etc. etc. Why don’t you all lobby for the TDC to handover some of the $75 million they’re sitting on and disperse grants to the small businesses of Walton County/30A. These businesses are the backbone of our county and they are the ones who work their “arms”off catering to the visitors and collecting/paying taxes/revenue. I started this thread only because in the good times us locals get no break and poor service from many of the restaurants along 30A. I’m not the only one who feels like this it’s an attitude that many neighbors and people that live here like I do full-time have talked about. This forum is extremely narrow minded tell it like it is sometimes Teresa..

I was with you until ... What the heck does this mean?

Some restaurants have discounts for locals. I think it's a good policy.
