In an effort to catalogue Panama City Beach in a photographic sort of way, from time to time I’ll be posting pictures of different spots of “the beach”. Today, I realized a great vantage point that I had thought about before, but never really explored it.
Check out more pictures after the break.
The city pier is well under way with absolutely no activity at the county pier. The last time I posted, I had mentioned that the county pier was to be a few months behind the city but it looks like that is a little off schedule.
Check after the break for more pictures.

Well, the Fight Club cage on the Thomas Drive section of Panama City Beach was still up but not operational for several days, and now it is gone

Showtimes are at 7 Monday through Saturday until August 2nd. General admission is $24 for adults and $16 for kids 4 and up.

I’m sure this happens every year around this time, but this is really the first time I’ve noticed it – huge, beautiful cumulus clouds.
Everytime I’m outside, I’m completely captivated at how beautiful these clouds are.
Apparently when the warm ocean air blows inshore and rises to meet the cooler air at a higher altitude, the water vapor condenses and begins a rising/falling behavior that results in the formation of these huge cumulus clouds.
Again, one of the neat things about our area that makes it so beautiful.

I’m quite impressed at how quickly this is happening. I just posted last week on how they were getting ready to start putting in sidewalks along Thomas Drive starting at Joan Avenue. Everyday this week there have been crews along the road pouring concrete.
Across from the Marble Slab Creamery and cady-corder to the Grand Movie Theatre in Pier Park in Panama City Beach is a new White Sand Volleyball Court surrounded by a spacious area of new green grass. I love how Simon continues to make Pier Park a great place to just come. Now they just need a play area for the kids.
The tent is up, the a/c is cranking and the stage is being set for performances to begin next Friday, June 13th at 7pm.
The tent consists of 10 pieces with a total weight of over 10,000 lbs. Each one of six “straights” weight around 900 lbs and each of the four “rounds” weight around 1200 lbs. The “straights” are the middle peices and the “rounds” are the ends.

The city pier is moving along as scheduled with the old structure completely removed and the new structure being constructed right now. Engineering firm Baskerville Donovan’s VP, Dave Hemphill said construction is on schedule and moving forward at the scheduled pace.
Construction is “top-down” construction, meaning there will be no barge with a crane in the water driving piles. The crane will “crawl” across the top of the piles that it puts in in order to put the next series of piles. I thought this was pretty cool, as it allows them to continue work even if they have rough seas. Delays will be less likely.

Olive Garden, in Pier Park in Panama City Beach is well under way on schedule to open in the fall of 2008. Construction has been going for several weeks. I would not be surprised if they made it open earlier then the fall.
