If you’re in the market for a kayak, Sunjammers Watersports in Panama City Beach is the place to go. There are few others that sell kayaks in the area, but during the summer 2010, they sold 40% what they sold in the summer of 2009 – and kayak sales is their bread and butter. Luckily, low overhead and a diversified selling strategy allowed them to keep their doors open. The BP Effect was clear and present for Sunjammers this summer. Not only were kayak sales way down, other aspects of their business they were growing saw a fraction of the growth they were expecting.

August Bed Tax Numbers CRUSHED, Worse than July
Like igniting gun powder on an open wound, August’s bed tax collection numbers were a piercing pain in an open wound. We talked about last month that July’s bed tax collection numbers were down 14.58% total, including the normal first three cents combined with the additional 4th and 5th cent. As if that wasn’t bad enough, August’s numbers were just released and rang in at 14.74% down over August of 2009. Remember, this number is a comparison of year over year and fails to take into consideration the potential for increase as a result of normal growth and the explosion we were expecting this summer with the opening of the new airport and millions of extra marketing dollars being pumped into this area.

VIDEO: From The Stage: Thunder Beach Weekend
Although this weekend’s Thunder Beach event was not as thunderous as its Spring time sibling, there was still excitement in the air, great weather and action-packed venues for beach vacationers. One such venue, Marriott Bay Point, rocked hard with the Steve Wiggin’s band who, along with pcbdaily.com’s very own David Goldflies (bass), Steve Cosper (guitar), Linwood (drums) and Art (sax) put on a searing performance. We wanted to write a article that captured the venue’s vibe, but we figured a video from the stage might put you into the groove. Enjoy.

Bring Miracle Strip's Starliner Roller Coaster Back
Many of you remember it. The Starliner Roller Coaster that was originally located in Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach was the first roller coaster ride for thousands of young people during the 80’s, 90’s and half of the 2000’s. When Miracle Strip Amusement Park closed down a few years back, the Starliner was purchased by Cypress Gardens in Winterhaven Florida, which just recently closed. And, the Meeks, owners of Miracke Strip @ Pier Park just bought it.
