Grub at Hook'd at the Foot of the City Pier
UPDATED: New to the Russell Fields Pier, right across from Pier Park, Hook’d is now open and has been the great dining pleasure of thousands already. I was hearing about their good food, easy-going atmosphere and superb location before I even had a chance to swing by and get a fish sandwich.

Beach Update on Panama City Beach
The weather for Panama City Beach this weekend is expected to be amazing! The water is clear, warm and the beaches are white as always.
Weekend Weather Update for 9/16
Every week we’ll feature the weekend weather update for you local beach-goers and you out-of-town beach dwellers that come down here for some weekend sun. Keep an eye right here in the future to see if your weekend will have sun, fun or a rain cloud or two!
What to expect, wear and do this weekend.
This one’s easy – FUN in the SUN! The southeast is dominated by a big beautiful high pressure system settled right over Georgia. That is keeping all the rain OUT and the clear, blue skies in.
The only effect we’re seeing from those mid-Atlantic disturbances ( Igor, Julia, and Karl) is a little dampness, and a few clouds being pulled down by winds from the east. That kicks up a little wave action for the surfers. None of the storms are expected to come anywhere near Panama City Beach.
Ladies, pack light tees, tanks, capris, a sundress; always bring a cute sweater – you’ll have lots of chances this weekend to be out on the beach and the beach decks at night this weekend. Guys, bring “nice” shorts and a polo and tees, and it’s a perfect weekend to swim and sun, so remember trunks for the guys, and a two piece swim suit for the girls.
Everyone wear or pack HATS- there will be lots of sun and lots to see and do outdoors, so make sure you have hats and sunscreen.
Read on for a day by day forecast.

Oil Boom Pass Project Removal Starts Wednesday
As reported from the Bay County Public Information Office:
Crews will begin removing the boom in the St. Andrew Pass on Wednesday morning, after state Department of Environmental Protection Agency officials determined the state would fund the effort.
“The chance of any surface oil making it here is almost zero,” Bay County Emergency Services Chief Mark Bowen said, highlighting that the purpose of the boom was always to fend off surface oil threatening the bay — it would have been ineffective against subsurface oil or tarballs. “Surface oil arriving here would be unthinkable at this point. The imposition of the pass project to shipping traffic and recreational boaters far outweighs the minimal risk of any surface oil.”
