What is the one thing you would like to see...

Smiling JOe,
Seen one or been one?
I ain't never seen one..but.....;-)

While I have never been a nekked girl, I have seen one or two on the beach.

Ah, I see. I did not know that. But it's not even deep enough for small sailboats and Sea-Doos?

sea-doos? less is better.

:idea: ! How could I have forgotten about this idea? Oh yeah, because I don't play tennis....duh.

Years and years ago I worked at Tops'l Beach and Racquet Club, in the reservations department for the vacation rentals. Nearly every other week we booked a tennis tournament of some sort. Every week large groups of people came to play tennis.

Problem? It almost always rained. Or it was dangerously too hot. Or uncomfortably cold. Hello? If weather is always a problem, why do people keep playing out in it?

Remember I don't play tennis, but wouldn't an INDOOR TENNIS Facility make sense? I don't know of any in the area anywhere, and THAT would bring YEAR ROUND BIZNESS, which is something we so desparetly need in the shoulder season?

Just a thought.

A Whole Foods.

I vote for an Earth Fare over Whole Foods. A chain but still sticks to its original vision of environment and health. The produce at Whole Foods isn't so great, either.

Also, I vote for 1 or 2 nice public playgrounds for children. It's the 1 thing, besides Earth Fare, that I miss from living in Georgia.

I would like to see a local Help-You-Sell franchise that also sells fresh, ripe heirloom tomatoes. It would be the customer's decision as to the end use of the tomatoes.

I agree on the public playground thing. It is really sad to me, with all the property taxes we pay, there is not a swing set within 30 min. of SoWal for me to take me 2 yr. old to.

Maybe that is because the tax revenue follows the County Commissioners, only one of which lives in SoWal.

and where does most of the tax revenue come from.........

Actually, there are . . . you just gotta know where to look . . . Seaside, Rosemary, Watercolor all have playgrounds. BUT it isn't cool to take your kids to a playground and feel uncomfortable because you don't "belong" there. However, I seriously doubt anyone is going to question your being at one of those places.

The issue is that we really need public parks because most of us live in urban density neighborhoods without yards, or we have neighborhoods convenants forbidding play structures. Perhaps the lack of a playground is simply due to the fact that there hasn't been an outcry for one--perhaps we can do something about this!

I do know about those, we are members of Seaside so that we can use all of the amenities, I just feel like there should be more of a neighborhood park situation where other moms and kids can go and get to know your neighbors. We live in a mostly rental area, and there are not many kids around, and neighborhood convenents do keep us from having many "kid" friendly yard "art". I'd love a place where Little Beach could meet other kids and learn to "Play" together.
