Win a FREE Annual Pass to Miracle Strip in Pier Park
We’re halfway through the summer season in Panama City Beach, but we still have months of warm weather and plenty of time to enjoy Miracle Strip @ Pier Park.
You may remember a few months back, when Teddy and Jenny Meeks finally brought their vision to fruition by opening the much appraised and anticipated Miracle Strip @ Pier Park. It all started with the original Carousel they purchased, restored and opened in Pier Park early 2009. People came from all around to relive childhood memories of their carousel adventures of yesteryear.

Ruptured Oil Well Capped, Is the Oil Spill Threat Behind Us?
More than half-way through the summer, BP has finally capped the spewing well in the Gulf of Mexico and is, at this point, preventing any more oil from spewing from the ruptured Deep Horizon Oil well 5,000 feet below the surface. There are reports that the capping has instigated a seepage of oil in other spots, which could be terrible if confirmed, but with the first of two relief wells almost complete and set to open in just a couple short weeks, officials are hopeful that there is an end in sight to this mess.

Will Show-N-Tail Show Its Head on N. Lagoon?
Many of you may remember the adult entertainment club (probably being a little too polite in my description) Show-N-Tail that was located on Thomas Drive. A few years back it burned to the ground after years of contempt from local residential neighbors, tourists and officials alike. Continue reading “Will Show-N-Tail Show Its Head on N. Lagoon?”

UPDATE: Panama City Beach Currently NOT On Oil Spill Trajectory Map
(Latest update: July 15, 2010)
Over the last few weeks, very small quantities of oil product have been reported and cleaned up on Panama City Beach. And, when I say very small quantities, I mean so small that almost no one saw any oil wash up on the shores of Panama City Beach before it was cleaned up by the 700+ beach clean up workers that continue to patrol the beaches. In addition to the 700+ workers that are walking the beaches by day, there are around 250 walking the beaches at night.
As of July 14th, the oil plume was located 130 miles from Panama City Beach. At one point, it was as close as 20 miles off our coast. What this means is that for the next two to three weeks, our beaches are all but totally guaranteed to be oil free. This is great for the summer tourism season. Right now, we are well outside the NOAA 72 hour area of uncertainty.
