Pier Park -- Limited Grand Opening Today. A few other stores will open tomorrow and several more expected to open in the near future.

Personally, I think they should have had more stores open before having a Grand Opening. They didn't even have balloons on Hwy 98, so if you were driving by, you would not have even noticed the open stores to the south of The Grand theater. Many are open and several smaller restaurants were open today. From memory (and the names aren't exact), Five Guys Sandwich Shop, Buffalo Wings, Beer Garden (really cute outfits on the girls. I may have to spend some time there.), and Quizno's. Red Brick Pizza (officially opens tomorrow). This place will be bustling when more shops open.

Here are a few pics:

Red Brick Pizza getting ready for VIP family and friends pre-opening night. Go visit JP et al for some pizza. You probably know JP from the Red Bar in Grayton. Show her some love.

Located next to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, the Back Porch will have incredible views from their upstairs deck. Looks like Margaritaville will also have some outdoor seating upstairs.

Mermaid, thought you would get a kick. Your store (clothing) is directly across from Tootsies.

Yeah! Tootsies!!!

John R, I thought of that Mtn Film movie when I saw the fake grass. It looks darn good, and pretty real (at least right now).

...and though Bella Flora (Flower Shop in Seagrove and Carrillon) is nowhere close to Pier Park, this rose was in their store earlier today. It smelled like heaven in that store. Remember them when Easter and Mother's Day rolls around.

Nice pics, SJ! Looks like a place to get your drink, eat and shop on!

Thanks, I forgot about Bootleg Barbecue and Camille's Cafe. Not sure if either are open, as I didn't walk past them.

It is nice to have someone like you, Smiling JOe, who can show those of us that can get to the coast to see some of these things. You are a big help. Thanks:clap:

Hubby and I enjoyed a beer from Hofbrau and a movie last night. It was great! Tons of people out and about. It gave me hope (property values).

I didn't actually take any pics of the girls at the Beer Garden. I left before they opened at 5pm, but I got a sneak peek earlier in the day. ; ) I'm not sure who was dancing on the tables, but I may have to go back soon, and take some dancing pics. (no, I didn't see any poles in there.)

I am told that Bootleg BBQ isn't open yet.
