I tried to find you the info on the seaside site but could not. There was a big writeup last spring in the seaside times that talked about the original plan and doing away with the wooden temporary buildings. Maybe someone has it and can post it.

Yes, Fermentations, which had their final blowout party on New Years Eve in 2004, was sadly replaced with a flower shop which specialized in weddings. The flower shop closed the doors a while back. What Seaside was thinking, I do not know.

I have not heard a specific date for Shades closing.

You can have Shades...But Bud's cannot close. :pissed: I'll chain myself to the rooftop bar. Over my dead body. :pissed:
 
Yes, Shades is out of there at the end of December. I have heard that for several years that Bud & Alley's is getting shafted by Seaside and that David has had better offers elsewhere. So sad. :puke: Seaside will never be the same.

Shades will be replaced by a white-tablecloth restaurant. Dunno what we'll use as a substitute for Shades' casual menu.

I hear the new JB's Chinese Buffet, located in Freeport, has a casual menu. :funn:

So does Texas Roadhouse in Newnan, GA. How is that (i.e., restaurants in Freeport) relevant? There's also Mr. Ho (LOLOL), a Chinese buffet in Elba. Should I drive there for dinner?

Hey, SJ, I've just dishing out what you're dishing out, all in fun and friendship, at least on my side of the fence. :D

Or are we stuck with spending a minimum of $20 a person for dinner on 30-A? Guess I'll get off my lazy rear and cook at night (or pick up steamed shrimp at Goatfeathers and a salad at Publix),
