Panama City Beach 30 Degree Blue

Panama City Beach – 30◦ Blue - First does anyone know where the symbol for degree is on the keybord:)


Some friends gave us a gift certificate to 30◦ Blue for Christmas. Next time we are at our Panama City Beach Condo we plan on going to 30◦ Blue. I have seen adds for 30◦ Blue in the paper. Has anyone been to 30◦ Blue? Do they have a food specialty? Any menu recommendations? What is the dress?

Panama City Beach - Blue Angels to Visit in March

If you are going to be staying in our Panama City Beach Condo at the end of March you will have the opportunity to see the Blue Angels...

Panama City Beach - Tyndall Air Force Base got a visit from a slightly flashier flier, Friday.

U.S. Navy Blue Angels No. 7 dropped by to iron out some details before this spring's air show. The Navy F/A-18, painted blue and gold, arrived bearing Navy Lts. Amy Tomlinson, event coordinator, and Ben Walborn, narrator and advance pilot. Tomlinson said the performance team is practicing maneuvers in Pensacola and will eventually transfer to California to polish the routine. Tyndall's Gulf Coast Salute, held March 28-29, is the third of 36 scheduled appearances for the team in 2009.

"We come to the airfield just to work out the logistics and coordination with the air show committee in order to set up a successful and safe air show," she said. Tomlinson said the finishing touches are coming together on the year's routine, which must be blessed by the Federal Aviation Administration before it may be performed. "There may be some new maneuvers. There was one added last year called the ‘delta breakout' at the end of the show," she said.

Google adds Panama City Beach, Panhandle to Street View (see MAPS)

PANAMA CITY BEACH — Bay County's streets went "live" Dec. 9.

That's the day Google Maps Street View, a program providing panoramic, street-level images from cities around the world, added Panama City and much of the surrounding Panhandle. Browsers on Google Maps now are able to take a virtual walk of Bay County streets — and the homes and businesses lining them. The images appear to have been gathered several months to a year before they were added to the map function.

"Locally, people usually have fun kind of poking around and making it sort of a detective game looking for movie theaters to see what was playing and things like that to see exactly when it was," said Google spokeswoman Elaine Filadelfo.

This is cool. To see our Panama City Beach Condo building enter 17757 Front Beach Road, Panama City Beach, FL in the address box. Our condo is in Celadon Beach Resort, the tan building on right with the street walk over.

Ever since Google Street View was unveiled in 2007, the effort has raised some privacy concerns and spawned a minor Internet phenomenon of Street View users scouring cities for frozen non sequiturs. Although the initial images of Bay County were obtained using older and fuzzier cameras, Filadelfo said efforts already have begun in larger cities to scan using higher-resolution devices.

"If people are concerned about privacy or anything like that in every single image in Street View, at the bottom is a link that says ‘report a concern.' That will take them to a form where they can ... let us know an image they would like removed, and we would happy to do that," she said.

Street View images are gathered only from public roads, Filadelfo said. But other areas of concern also can be omitted. The stretch of Thomas Drive in front of Naval Support Activity-Panama City, in addition to a large portion of U.S. 98 through Tyndall Air Force Base, has been omitted. "When you're passing by those areas, we do try to be careful and err on the side of caution," she said.

Have fun looking around Panama City Beach!
