Not sure what you're asking Yippie....:idontno: I agree that there are smart business people on THE Beach (TM) comittee......not agreeing with their personal concept of business...and my example was the Emerald Grand. Don't EVEN want :bang:their fleas here in Sowal.

And we don't really want them in Destin either, but Destin has pretty much been ruined by this type.

I was answering the question on who do you think benefited from Emerald Grande.

I have tried to explain this marketing plan to people in Louisville (The "Ville)that vacation in the SoWal area, formerly known as the Emerald Coast, now known as "The Beach." I get blank stares and comments like "huh"?:blink: There is not enough spin and branding and marketing- another pig needing lipstick.

Not enough lip stick in the world.

Legendary Bos......period.
 
We really don't want any of that down here, but an employee of Legendary was renting down here for some reason. Specifically the Seagrove area. :idontno:
 
"THEY" don't like being told what "THEY" can and cannot do here. Political season is also coming up so they are probably once again putting their operatives in place. "THEY" probably want to get this "THE BEACH" thing under control.

You forgot the insane traffic issues in Niceville on 20, which by the way is under construction AGAIN!

There are some issues with Eglin Air Force Base since the airport basically shares their runways. I am not sure EXACTLY what the issues are, however, I have understood for years that some of the airlines deter away from here for that reason.

Another reason is the Pensacola Airport offers space for less money to the airlines, serving a bigger area.

And, again, IMHO, they are going to go to the Panama City Airport. What St. Joe wants, St. Joe gets. And I think they will want a low cost, popular carrier like Southwest's presence.

Yippie, the traffic doesn't really bother me too much, it just seem like business as usual in okaloosa and walton counties. There's been construction on every artery since i moved here. And, I typically travel on the 6 am flights, so traffic is usually light.

Honestly, the only issues i've experienced with the runway sharing is a longer wait to leave due to waiting on AF traffic. Not a big deal in the big picture.

Depending on how the approach road is laid out, it may still be easier for me to travel to VPS than the new PFN. We'll see.

PNS is like a red hot poker in the eye. My last choice, and one I get to look forward to in the next two weeks, as a client has purchased my tickets from there. :bang:
 
This Is Important!

I hope this attachment works. This is the e-mail that CV3000 just sent out. It is a solicitation for membership, however, I find nothing on here that basically puts the entire program out in the open.

No where does it say they are going to rename out are to THE Beach. Of course, these people who are in charge of this probably realize that it would not get the support of the locals.

So, by being very vague, except saying to become a part of our future.....

This is dishonest. If I am wrong, please point it out.
