Personally, I can remember as a child in north central Alabama, aka Birmingham, that Panama City was the summer reward for managing to get through another year of school, without having to attend summer school.  Not being the brightest candle in the chandelier, I didn't always make it, but I can say that for the years I did make grades high enough to keep me out of summer school, Panama City was the reward that permanently embedded the most  beautiful memories in my head.  Like the Panama City pier, and the fishing.  As a youngster, one is entitled to snag bait, because one doesn't own a rod heavy enough to challenge the big fish such as King Mackerel, Cobia (Ling), Amberjack, or even a good sized Bonita, and even if one did, little fellows would have a most difficult time bringing in a...

The condominium inventory is starting to shrink as people take their units off the market. In July of 2006, the number of condos on the market was 3021. That number has dropped almost every month sense.

Florida Resort Expects Growth With New AirportPanama City, Fla., is getting ready for what it hopes will be an influx of tourists and residents once its new airport is complete.The traditionally blue-collar resort expects construction to begin in late spring on a $330 million international airport to replace the current one, which was originally built in the 1940s. The new airport will be able to accommodate more and larger jets, bringing a better-heeled class of visitor. Currently 83 percent of the city's four million tourists arrive by car. Housing prices are still low compared with Florida's other coastal resorts.

Well,It is another great day in the Florida Panhandle area.  It was about 72 out today.  It was wonderful, sunny & just a little nippy in the a.m.  A friend just moved here from Provo, Utah & the weather there is VERY chilly this time of year.  My friend now calls his friends in Provo to give them the 'skinny' on how chilly it  is not here.  I think he is rather glad he moved here where the weather is much milder & the season are not so bone chilling as it can be in the northern USA.
