Lifeguards To Keep The Beach Safe

troysteuwer — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:08:58 +0000

Following the unfortunate tragedy of a couple of visitors to Panama City Beach over Memorial Day weekend, the city council has decided to adopt a trend growing in the northwest region of Florida, and that’s lifeguards. A budget has already been approved and local officials are in the process of hiring the staff to man the stations.

The News Herald reports that there may eventually be stations in front of Pier Park, M.B. Miller county pier and on the beach next to Alf Colman Road. They are also exploring the possibility of lifeguard training for the Beach Patrol, as well as lifeguard training for beach vendors.

Southern Livings Annette Thompson wrote a lovely article on Panama City Beach and it seems she can’t get enough of it. Here are some of excerpts from her article:

It’s time to return to Panama City Beach. If your memories revolve around crowded T-shirt shacks and gritty mom-and-pop motels, you’re in for a big surprise. This vacation magnet (your grandparents may have met here!) now sports a fresh style. It’s nudged the beach bum culture aside for upscale hotels and condos, good restaurants, a fabulous new shopping district, and sparkling high-rises. (more…)

Weird Homes I’d Love To Visit

troysteuwer — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:26:20 +0000

I received an e-mail this morning, of course regarding homes, and I thought some of them were absolutely astounding. Yeah, I imagine some of them may be fake (especially the one that looks like a boulder in between two mountains), but I’m positive many of them are real. Could you imagine living in one of these. How awesome would that be? I for one would enjoy living in the first one. Imagine crossing over cliffs on a gondola to get to your home. I guess that’s one way to keep some of the relatives away!
