Some Of The News Covered:

The Destin Harbor fireworks display that was scheduled for every Thursday evening has been suspended. Ash from the fireworks was falling on to boats in the harbor (plus locals complaining about the noise from an 8:30 PM fireworks display... co'mon).

The heavily damaged Navarre Beach Pier may become a marine sanctuary. The Gulf Breeze Zoo needs to raise $3 million to keep from closing. The zoo lost its accreditation with the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums a year ago. The Gulf Breeze Zoo has always been a very educational and fun experience for all ages!

The new pedestrian friendly beach community called Towne of Seahaven announced its first eight tenants for phase one of the development.

The Summerhouse Restaurant that was once open in Fort Walton Beach at the intersection of Beal Parkway and 98 needs a home. John Wagner and Sam Montalto were the owners of the restaurant and sold it to Alan Laird (owner of AJ's). The structure was moved to the west end of Okaloosa County where it has been sitting. Residents in the area want the structure moved!
