Hello all; My very first post. been reading the board and posts now for a while. First off, I am grateful to have found your internet community and do look forward to taking part in your forums/communications.

I have been coming to SoWal for 20 plus years; my wife and her family started in the 60's, in Destin... most recently my wife and I are very appreciative of the Grayton-Seaside H20 Color and Rosemary beach area.

To prelude my question/poll; we plan on re-locating to SoWal in a short while. I am a business owner in the Midwest and looking at different options to support our "habit".... and living where we really do want to live.....

Question: What services/business/offerings would you like to see in your area... For example... we never can find a REALLY GOOD pizza Delivery service while on vacation in SoWal... MOST likely because we don't have the "in" or have been properly informed of such....... (:floor: ) THIS IS only an example. However; what do you feel the community is lacking in and what would you like to have whether it be in food service; professional services; entertainment;Better yet; what do you feel that there is an over abundance of... or otherwise????

Thanks!!!!

BIff

Biff, also, seeing your quote, I thought I saw the singer of those words a couple of years ago a Rosemary Beach. I didn't realize until after I had passed him on the beach. Probably wasn't him, but it sure did look like it.

He's got a big place up your way, doesn't he?

Kewl!!!!!!

Yes Mam. . we do things a bit differntly out here. Its like SoWal; just 106 degrees, humid and NO beach..

Tornadoes instead of Hurricanes,

And instead of owning condos you owne oil wells.... :funn:

Bartlesville is a nice town; just 40 min from my home......


Biff,
Gotta love that Okie way of doing things. My dad's actually from the Tulsa area (Bartlesville). I have a soft spot for the whole area.

:D Biff, just kidding of course about the Crystals lingerie. The one here in Cordova is most unwelcome by people that live in that area of Memphis. It is unwelcome in our neighborhood also but can't do anything about it being there. That's as bad as Condom Knowledge in PC Beach. Ugh!

Biff,
Oh listen, I KNOW about the tornadoes. We were in one there in '92 that ripped up the town, went down the interstate in the late afternoon. Of course, it hit a trailer park....

Whales Tail is alive and well - Ivan and Dennis both did a number on it - knocked out the bottom bar - but it survived - Upstairs still looks the same - Rumor has it booze bottles were found buried on the beach - Dennis knocked out the storage room as well.

Laundrymat - there is one on Hwy 98 in the Post Office Strip Mall. (just because kathydwells was too drunk to recall me giving her directions to it, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. :floor:;-) - I love you Kathydwells)

:oops: I sure do wish I had been sober and remembered, then I wouldn't have had to go so far EAST !!!!!!!!

Booze Bottles.... NO WAY... Hey there is a good name for the new hot spot!!!!!!!!

That is good to hear; we brought the scoots down last April and rode there; they treated us great; had breakfast a couple of mornings; really were nice; even met a waitress there that was from Yukon, Ok.

Also, off topic; Tim Creehan's restaurant served us an astonishing brunch.. We rode up there on a Sun. I think ..... The food was incredible... SO WAS THE BILL!!!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$:lolabove:

Beach lover; is banana Joes still there???? (Is that the name)????? I think it is....

Mango, I already have venture capitalists IM'ing and calling me!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:

Most Excellent... Actually looks like I will be re-locating sooner than later now..... BWHHAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Well this is getting better and better by the minute.
The Gay Bar, with the full monty for the ladies and the men, the drag queen named Yum Yum Yellow delivering pizza, weinies, puka dogs, and of course multicolor color condoms. You could have a commercial washer and dryers in the back, so the ladies can drop off their comforters and get to see the Full Monty while they wait for the spin cycle!
You could call it "Sudsy Bubbles" :funn:

Hey no fair editing before I finish my reply.

I did not see the Mango Queen part. :eek: :blink:
Mango is really my nickname my friends and family call me because I heart :wub: Mangos so much and therefore it is not to be used in vain. ;-)

Use any other "fruit" you want, or call the place the "Dancing Speed Queen"

Beach lover; is banana Joes still there???? (Is that the name)????? I think it is....


Pompano Joe's - Yes they also survived - unfortunately their parking lot did not - so traffic it he** with all their patrons parking on the road. I have a picture of Pompanos hanging on my wall in my office. A friend gave it to me for my birthday on year. I think she was implying a spend some time there (hey it is right across the street from the condo - so there is no drinking and driving.) :lol:

Ditto Mermaid and GTTBM. The only chain that I want to see on 30-A should be the one worn by 30-gAy. Keep that chain food to the east or west please. I don't go on vacation to eat the same crappy chain food that I can find at home!
Oh man, ain't that the truth. We've eaten so much fast food this past year. It now all tastes the same.
