New Publix on Hwy 98 in SoWal breaking ground

[Matt J]

It does still have the old "for sale" sign posted, but it isn't actively listed.

More real estate litter.

We use the Publix on 98 at Carillon Beach every visit as opposed to the WinnDixie which turned sort of nasty after a while. Yep, the meat is a bit pricery but we buy seafood anyway at one of the local seafood markets and only wish we could find a Farmers Market with local produce when we are at the beach. Anyone have a suggestion for local produce? And I hate driving twenty miles for some tomatoes unless they are really, really local. And good.

For local and regional produce, go to For the Health of It, located in Blue Mtn Beach on 30A.

OK - I feel I need to stem the tide a bit - BUY LOCAL.

We don't need more chains or stores. Everything you need you can now get in SoWal. If we don't have it you don't need it. If you do need something exotic from afar, like plaid clothing, you can get it delivered to your door. The prices in SoWal may be a bit higher but you can save money on gas, and you are supporting our neighbors.

Even when grocery stores were farther away, didn't you go less often, saving time, hassle, and possibly money? I think it comes down to a psychological need to go somewhere and shop, to acquire things, to hunt and gather. Why else would someone make a long trip to Target 20 miles away to buy a blender, which by the way is most likely made in China. Please - stop the madness!

Go to For The Health Of It, Modica Market, Seagrove Market, Blue Mountain Liquors, Movies By The Sea, lillypads, Shops Of Grayton, Toni's Market, Big Daddy's, Wild Olives, Sally's By The Sea Store, Design, Gigi's, Perpetual Imagination, Sundog Books, Central Square Records, Fonville Press, Big Mama's, Yellowfin, Ono, Goatfeathers, . . . . the list goes on and on.

Why are we in such a hurry to make 98 in SoWal look like 98 in neighboring counties? The same goes for 331. Why does progress equal more choices and more places to spend money?

A final thought - if you feel a burning desire to spend your $600 government "see we're here to help" rebate, spend it local!

Hear Hear every word
before long it would look like Destin, or PCB just as hard to drive around, lets hide every way in to 30a with big bushes so no one knows its here LOL
