The crowd was standing or sitting in their chairs and blankets, cuddled up into each other’s arms Friday night at Pier Park. All waiting and trying to see the stage where Clint Black would perform. The lights went down and at the sound of a guitar the audience jumped up with enthusiastic screams. Clint Black, with his signature black cowboy hat, brought some heat into the cold night air.

The BP Effect series is brought to you by attorneys Reich & Binstock and Seeger Weiss LLP, which are helping businesses in Panama City Beach recover losses sustained directly and indirectly from the Deep Water Horizon oil spill. They can help your business too,

We’ve talked about how this summer’s oil spill scare effected large-scale marinas, restaurants, property management companies and retail, but today, we’re going to take it a notch and talk about how this mess effected a home-owner. The Balmy Oasis Cottage is a small beach cottage that owner Pat Guin rents out on her own. She and her husband bought it as an investment and rely on rental revenue to make payments and cover costs of ownership. This summer was tremendously painful for their “business”, but with pockets of “blessings”, they made it. Here’s her story.
Don’t forget this is the weekend to set your clocks back an hour. This Sunday morning, November 7th at 2 am, clocks should be moved back one hour, taking an hour away from daylight in the evening and giving it to the morning.
Each year, standard time begins on the first Sunday of November and ends on the second Sunday in March – which will fall on March 13, in 2011.
Named Daylight Savings Time, this was formally started in the US in the early 1900’s, but isn’t followed in Hawaii or Arizona. If you’re thinking we’re changing our clocks back later in the year, it’s because in 2007, the length of Daylight Savings Time was extended a month in 2007.
In Panama City Beach, our “winter” time brings the dark early, at around 5 pm every day, since we are so close to the eastern time zone. Winters are warm, here though, with some of the most scenic beach times happening in the months of November, December and January.
This week we had a chance to see the fierce beauty of the beaches during a storm. It will most likely have passed through by the time most weekenders arrive, though it’s been exciting to see the competitors cruising around the course all week here. This weather should be much nicer for the triathletes as they swim the Gulf, bike the county and run the east end of the beach this weekend. On Friday night, Clint Black will be performing under the stars at Pier Park, do bring a nice jacket because there will be a breeze. There’s even more to do and taste this weekend, and the weather will be fall perfect. You might want a cover up on the sand in the mornings.
Some of you might have noticed the excavating and construction going on at Thomas Drive and Luff Street. We took it upon ourselves to find out for you.
It is going to be a new Dollar General! It is being developed by Concept Construction and Development, and is the newest Dollar General in Panama City Beach. Concept Construction and Development has also built the Dollar General on 15th Street, 22nd Street and the one in Lynn Haven on Highway 390.
Next weekend’s HUGE event is the Emerald Coast Cruizin’ Classic Car Show. Frank Brown Park will be filled to the brim with sweet shiny show cars ranging from rat-rods to glossy polished hot-rod school buses. Last year’s event had cars stretching from one end to another in an endless sea of machismo. This year’s event looks to be even more promising with thousands of cars in attendance.
And just for you, we have a free ticket giveaway!! There will be 4 winners, each winner getting 5 tickets each. Contest starts today and ends on Friday, November 5th at 5 p.m.
PCBDaily is really excited about this event and getting you in free!
