The lack of chain restaurants and big boxes is what attracted us to the 30A area. Time to rethink our future.

I'll take a Target, especially if it offers something I need as opposed to the new Walmart/super Tom Thumb which is a complete waste of space. Nothing there - I've given it a shot twice. It is strictly for tourists.
No kidding- I gave up on the SoWal Walmart and just have Bdarg pick up the stuff we get there on his way home from work at the Niceville location. Went in with a list, came out with not even half the list purchased. I swear Tom Thumb has more of the stuff we use - we call the SoWal store the "silly little Walmart."
I will say the same thing I said about the South Walton Walmart- we have a Target in PCB and Destin- do we really need another? It takes 20 minutes to drive to Pier Park- that is not convenient enough?

The answer that I got from the county planning department last week was that they had not received an application for a Target store.
