Want to do a race or two this year, but don’t know which one to do? We got you! 🙌

Whether you choose a race that gives benefits a charity or one that is simply for fun, the post race feeling will be so rewarding.

Here is a list of exciting runs to participate in during the first few months of 2019 all along the Emerald Coast!

Have you ever heard of AppRiver out of Gulf Breeze?

(I’ll wait…)

Chances are, you probably haven’t! Before Get The Coast, I built websites and helped clients setup custom email, create content, etc. I first worked with AppRiver a few years back when a client had all of their email and security through them.

Yesterday it was announced that the Zix Corporation, a leader in email security, has entered into an agreement to acquire AppRiver for $275 million in cash!!! 🤑🤑🤑

While this isn’t really “headline” news, I feel like it’s really good news that everyone in our area should hear. It’s not everyday that a company gets acquired for that price in our area.

Destin residents concerned about noise from sightseeing helicopters are putting pressure on county leaders.

Scott Fischer with Holiday Isle Homeowners Association said,

I don’t live in Destin but this seems incredibly familiar to the complaint that came out of Niceville/Val-p some years back about the jet noise coming from the base.

Until I graduated high school, I lived next to Hurlburt Field where there was all kinds of noise happening at all hours of the day and night. I guess we just were used to it because I never notice a plane, bombing etc. unless someone pointed it out.

It’s the end of an era…

The iconic Panama City Beach Spring Break spot is rebranding itself for 2019, dropping the nightclub portion and turning into Spinnaker Beachside Grill, which will feature live music and events, as well as the location getting ‘serious about their food.’

Owner/operator Sparky Sparkman explains,

REMINDER! This evening, January 16, The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has tentatively scheduled to open the Mid-Bay Bridge.

According to the FDOT, once open, traffic will be limited to two-axle vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, school buses and limited EMS and first responder equipment only. Semi-trucks and commercial vehicles will be required to use alternate routes until permanent repairs to the Mid-Bay Bridge are complete.

No word yet as to what time tonight it will open. As news becomes available, we will update our Facebook so please check with us there.
