Wow, this year’s been crazy interesting, eh? From the Treasure Ship burning to the ground, to tarballs on our beaches to the brand spankin’ new international airport opening – we’ve certainly had some news-worthy things on the map. We’ve seen traffic accelerate normally into the summer, then explode over the summer, crashing servers, then settle back down. We’ve hired new writers, lost a few, sold tons of sponsorships and overall grown tremendously. But, today we’re going to talk about the top 10 MOST READ stories of 2010 on PCBDaily.com. We did this in 2008 and 2009, and we’re back to do it again.

5 Christmas Recipes You Can't Live Without
Holidays are never complete without tasty treats and divine drinks. I know for a fact, most of my Holiday memories have always revolved around what’s cooking in the kitchen.

Last Minute Shopping Ideas
Amazingly, I’m not the type of person who waits till the last minute to get things done. Unless, of course, you count the cleaning frenzy I pull off, seconds before the husband is off work, which I (obviously) don’t count as procrastination. You say Tomato, I say TO-MAH-TOE.
Shopping, specifically, Holiday shopping, is a little harder to pull off and for whatever reason, there’s never enough time to get it all done. Or at least, completed with that feeling of having found everyone the “right” gift.
In an effort to break through the gift-idea doldrums, here’s some last minute shopping ideas.

BP Pays Panama City Beach $1.2 Million
After months of waiting to hear news of the pending claim filed over losses in tax revenue during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, BP offered a claim settlement to Panama City Beach City Council Members, with a respectable $1.2 million payout.
The question to ask now is how the City is planning on utilizing the money. At the moment, mention has been made that the current goal is to put the money towards completing projects the City didn’t have funds for previously.

The dust is finally settling around the Panhandle, bringing with it the need to do a little image enhancing.

Beaches and Bells Holiday 5K
This weekend, Panama City Beach is offering a break from the frantic shopping, menu planning and egg nog. Saturday, December 18th, in Pier Park (Arron Bessant Park) outdoor enthusiast will be gathering for a 5K or 1K Fun Run in hopes of raising money for the Lady Marlins and the Cops-N- Kids fund. In the spirit of holiday giving, start dusting off those jogging shoes, slap on a Santa hat and get that body moving for a good cause. If you find yourself lacking motivation, think of this – it’s for the kids! If that still isn’t enough motivation for you, just think how delicious a hot toddy will taste after burning off all those calories. If charity doesn’t get your feet moving, maybe making merry with the beverages will!
