Kurt, do you know of any restaurant closings? Hubby is craving Pizza Bar for tonight.

When I was there for TS Danielle in August, they were closed. A lot of reatuarants were closed. Thankfully Bruno's was open.

The Board of County Commissioners regularly scheduled meeting and all public hearings on Tuesday, November 9 (I assume this is supposed to be Tuesday November 10) have been MOVED to Thursday, November 12, 10:00 a.m. The meeting location will be at the Walton County Courthouse, Commission Board Room, in DeFuniak Springs. This is a change from the original meeting scheduled at the South Walton Courthouse Annex in Santa Rosa Beach.
