Seaside Commercial District: Updates Summer 2020

If they hadn't shut down when they did in the frenzied thick of spring break a lot more people would have died. People congregate there no matter where they stay in SoWal. A hard choice to close but very necessary.

 

Ridiculous.

 

They can stay closed forever. It’s become a crowded, overpriced tourist trap.

 

5/29/20 open

 

The business owners there have to be enraged. The ones that are even going to be left, that is. Many are going to be killed off by this. I feel badly for them.

 

I believe this particular issue has caused you to become unhinged. Perhaps after the 29th you can begin making a recovery. Best of luck to you sir.

 

There are people in the world who are extremely selfish. They care nothing about others, only about themselves. They are easy to spot these days. They support reopening fully and wouldn't wear a mask if their life depended on it. Too dumb too understand it does.

 

Hi, I was very upset about people not wearing masks, but I'm trying to assume that some are those that have asthma & other breathing problems that the masks are almost impossible for them to wear. Also, there are folks who suffered abuse who feel like they are suffocating & reliving terrible episode in their lives. (Read this in our home newspaper or tv news, so that was something for me to learn and appreciate.) If these people are social distancing then I remain calm. I understand. It's because of those who refuse to wear mask AND refuse to social distance that the rest of us will continue to restrict our public appearances. Food to go. Early morning shopping. Exercising. We continue to be a very divided country. First 45 and reaction to and now the virus and reaction to. Challenging times. Ellen

 

Easy to see you've never made a payroll, "Karen". Hide and wait to die. Most of us are getting back to living.

 

How is following guidelines by wearing a mask and social distancing hiding and waiting to die?

 

Granted it’s been about ten or twelve years since I was last super active on this site, but I don’t recall members being so vitriolic with each other and all the name calling in threads. Is this a new thing?

 

A lot has changed in the world in the last decade. Plus People under stress. Newbies who don't understand netiquette or that this site is nicer than Facebook. Trump fans.

 

Its sad but its is also the way alot of people now living in the area are. They brought their rudeness and disregard for others with them.

 

It's overpopulation. Period. On the Earth and in SoWal. My beliefs about God fluxuate like the tide, but there is a theory, however far-fetched, that the Whole Earth is a being, and if this being was feeling so severely threatened by a "virus" who goes by the name of "human beings", that Whole Earth being ( I believe they call it Gaia, or something like that) would produce an anti-body that would look and act a whole lot like Covid-19. It kills a lot of people, and it stops mass pollution in dramatic ways. Maybe it's the Whole Earth telling us something.

 

The typical child navigates the world better than you do.

 

First post in a long time (been so long i couldn't recover my username\password). No problem. Not sure this info goes here, but i thought i would share it and see if anyone has ran across this.

Friends of friends rented a place in the commercial district of Seaside starting this weekend. One of those condos above the retail stores as i am told. They found out that they can't get their armband beach passes until next Friday when the commercial district actually re-opens. Supposedly the family has called up the chain to the Town Council and still can't get satisfaction.

Anyone heard anything like this or am i possibly hearing the story wrong (third hand at least)? I may be hearing things completely wrong, but this is what i know.

BTW, love the 30A area and have been coming since 2002 every year. Spent many years in Seaside and have moved on to other areas along 30A to explore. I frequent this site often for info and to get a re-fresher of the beautiful area some of y'all call home. Or second home.
