Grand Boulevard restaurants?

I hear you. I think they will be too snooty for me to visit, plus, I am not going to buy beer at $8 a cup, then have to pee during the movie. Again, this is the word on the street, but I don't know if it is set in stone.

I guess you could write or call the developer, the Howard Group, and express your concerns.

Tinkle, SJ, tinkle. :nono1:

How about, "have a wee."? I just cannot bring myself to say, " i have to tink..." I cannot even type it.

...come on SJ, I know you can do it!!!! How about go potty?

Miss Kitty, tinkle is my word too. SJ, how about "take a leak?"

:funn: ...I can't type...wait a minute....

Taking a leak sounds a bit more masculine, don't you think? Brings up images of carpentry, roofing, etc.

okay. can we get off the bathroom humor and get serious about protesting?

I called the Howard Group and spoke with a really snooty young woman who informed me that they "are not releasing any information about their occupants" and she really didn't care about my concerns about food or movies or children...or probably not bathroom functions either if I had mentioned that....she was like a robot repeating..."we are not releasing any information at this time"

Obviously The Howard Group needs some orientation in SoWal!

How about going to see a man about a horse? (Now it's evident that I am truly a redneck!)

C'mon, y'all. Pee is perfectly fine, as is pee-pee. Have you never watched the "Once Upon A Potty" videos?

I was going to share my spouse's explanation about the difference between pee and the other description that begins with the letter p, but I'll stop here instead...

Sorry goodwitch...dbuck and Shallowsnole are a bit immature with all their potty humor!

No problem...just want to focus on trying to get a theater with good films and children too!

I have been negotiating for a space there and just got a recent copy of their offerings. PF Chang's is a possibility, but they have not signed. Other possibles include Cantina Laredo, California Pizza Kitchen (confirmed), McCormick and Schmidt and some small things like Jamba Juice. Also confirmed are Ron Jon Surf, J. Crew, J. Jill, and Orvis.

I've just moved to the area and I was excited to see your comments of the local stores & restaurants coming to this area. What type of retail store do you plan on opeing at this Grand Blvd and when do they exspect to open?

So what's with Ron Jon's? For years, the pilgrimage to the one and only store in Cocoa has been a highlight of trips to that part of FL. Now there's going to be one in Destin and one in PC at Pier Park (and evidently who knows how many more).

Takes all the novelty out of it...

Not to mention what it does to their billboards...

New sign at Thomas Drive in PC

Only 5 miles to RON JON
Then 30 miles to the one after that - Destin
Then 50 miles to the one after that - Pensacola

I wonder if you can eat in the theatre... On Marco Island, the movie theatre is also a restaurant. One of the best fried grouper sandwiches ever!

CPK? YUMMY! They have great salads, too. But I would love to see a Cheesecake Factory and an El Pollo Loco or even Jason's Deli.

I'd love to have a Jason's Deli here! We stumbled upon one in ATL last year and everyone in the family was happy.

I love Jason's Deli.

Where is this development? This is the first I have heard of Grand Boulevard. I am doing some searches to see what I can find.

Ok now I remember. I posted something about this several months ago. There was an article in the Atlanta Business Cronicle which stated and I quote (and I am searching for a link to this article) "some of the shops will be the retail components of the very successful outlet chains which are featured at Silver Sands." Some of the stores mentioned in the article are: Apple, J.Crew, Coach, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters.

Antrhopologie? That could mean trouble in my world! I Anthropologie.

Don't they realize that the people shop the Factory Stores because they do not want to pay retail? Talk about taking a risk. That is one that I would avoid like the plague.

SmilingJOe, some people avoid last year's fashion like the plague so they might not be taking as much of a risk as you'd think. ;-)

See ya there! I love it too!!:clap_1:

this is true Mermy, but also, if you live here with very few shopping resources nearby, you come to realize how most of these outlet stores are just awful. they don't have what you need when you need it. and if they do it is typically not a good discount, if at all. I am so over silver sands - but I do shop just a few of the stores there out of complete desparation.

well, then we got Belks at Destin Commons - puhleeeeze... better than nuttin. but still very lacking..

You're right on the money, Tootsie. If you shop the sales at the "regular" stores, you can do very well for yourself.

Good point, but we guys don't care about no stinkin' fashion -- just get us some pants to wear.:funn:
