The lively line-dancing bar announced its permanent closure in a social media statement on Oct. 30, “Well, folks, every good story has its last chapter, and unfortunately, ours has arrived.

'Project Clerks' poised to bring 3.7 acres of retail, restaurants to Pea Ridge

"Project Clerks" is the pseudonym Santa Rosa County Economic Development Director Shannon Ogletree has given to a proposed development that promises to bring "multiple nationally known retailers and restaurants to the Highway 90 Corridor." A group based in Franklin, Tennessee, calling itself Highway 90 Development LLC is listed as the owner of the 22-acre parcel at the intersection of U.S. 90 and the Pea Ridge Connector Road across from West Florida Regional Medical Center in Pace. The group wants to add 160,000 square feet, or almost 3.7 acres, of retail, service and restaurant space. The specific businesses the group plans to recruit have not been publicly announced, but county officials have expressed enthusiasm for the project. "Residents won't have to drive over to Escambia County any more for shopping or to eat out," Ogletree said. The project was brought to the County Commission Nov. 10 at its Committee of the Whole meeting. Commissioners were being asked to approve an incentive arrangement of approximately $1.12 million and a tree mitigation plan to open the door to development of the presently vacant, commercially zoned property. Under the incentive agreement, the ad valorem taxes paid on the retail development property would be reduced

Locals And Visitors Line Up For Breakfast At This Popular Destin, Florida Bakery And Cafe

Fresh key lime pies get made every day here, and they can sell out fast. That’s a bold move for a place that also serves breakfast until 10 at night. The doors open at 6 AM, seven days a week. A line often forms before then, stretching right down the sidewalk. Somehow it tends to move quicker than you’d expect.

Filipino Street Food Brings Big Manila Flavor To This Little Family-Run Florida Grill

A Filipino food truck that makes its own crab rangoons, and they sell out faster than the kitchen can roll them. That’s the kind of problem I like hearing about. The menu leans on lumpia, chicken on a stick, pancit, and adobo. Then a smash burger shows up and quietly steals attention from the classics.

November 2026: 4 Local Restaurant Dishes to Try

Bay Burger at Bay Town Burger Co. “Bay Town Burger Co. brings a fun, laid-back energy to downtown Mobile. I ordered the Bay Burger after the staff told me it was a crowd favorite, and they were absolutely right. The smash burger was seasoned perfectly, with beautifully crisp edges and a juicy center that seemed to melt in your mouth. It was served on a fresh potato bun that was buttered, toasted and just crisp enough to hold everything together without taking away from the burger itself. It was topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and Bay sauce.” – Shannon Harris, DNP, FNP, CCRN Associate Clinical Professor, USA College of Nursing / President, Junior League of Mobile.
