The Destin Log is a weekly publication issued each Wednesday and Saturday at 106 Marler Street Destin Florida for residents of Destin and South Walton County. It is distributed to subscribers by Second Class Mail.
Observations on Destin and South Walton rapid growth with many new homes under construction and high condominium sales. Noting reduced traffic at Brooks Bridge and comparing regional development, the piece also questions the Carter briefing notes mystery while urging patience until investigations conclude.
The Destin LOG invites reader opinions and notes. Letters must be legible and signed with a return address. Submissions should be sent to Editor, Destin LOG, P O Box 957, 106 Marler St, Destin Florida 32541.
Letters praise coverage of Best of Broadway II and credit publicizing the event with its success. Another letter thanks the paper for highlighting bridge jump dangers and notes local efforts by NFSCIC and area hospitals to educate on spinal cord injury and water safety. The piece ends with a poem-like lament about abuse and loss of innocence.
Editorial argues Destin dominates Okaloosa County ad valorem revenue and questions county actions. It criticizes slow tourist promotion, beach access marking, dune protection, and funding for harbor cleanup while noting Bay and Escambia aid. Authors urge the county to match growth with proactive governance and preservation.
Beach lovers cheer as county commissioners weigh a ban on glass containers at public shores. Critics from the bottle industry warn of economic impact, while editors urge broader measures, including plastic disposal and safer beaches, stressing environmental fragility and foot safety.
