March offers a sense of renewal to Northwest Florida
The sun seems warmer, the breeze seems gentler and the tourists are beginning to arrive for Spring Break. It must be March!
This month, we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a pint of Guinness at Paddy O’Leary’s and Easter in church.
Many of us still struggle to repair and recover from the hurricane of last fall, but the bursting flowers and singing birds rejuvenate the spirit. It seems easier to deal with hardship when the weather’s good!
This month brings art festivals, the start of baseball, boating weather and business expos. The calendar is bursting with activities for the whole family.
Check out this month’s Splash for an update on the real estate market, which seems to be exploding after Hurricane Ivan. We talked to several experts who gave us the inside scoop on buying and selling homes and investment property.
• Have you been told lately that “You Are Beautiful?” Yes, those signs really are directed at you. Find out why these signs are cropping up all over Northwest Florida in an article by Kelly Carpenter.
• Splash is adding a comic strip by former resident Timothy Banfell. It’s called “Wrong Key” and it follows a group of misfits who live by the sea. Sound like anyone you know?
I hope you enjoy our latest issue. Thanks for reading Splash, and please visit our advertisers who make it all possible.
