The Destin Log is a weekly publication arriving every Wednesday and Saturday at 106 Marler Street Destin Florida for residents of Destin and South Walton County. It lists staff and circulation rates for various regions and notes advertising deadlines.
A Destin column argues the Gulf Coast town is dubbed the Palm Beach of the region as Miami Herald and AP pick up town chatter. Wealthy buyers and condo developers reshape a tourist town while locals note no Hollywood elite influx, yet coverage sparks broad attention.
The Destin LOG features letters praising local tree and landscape ordinances adopted since 1973 and updated in 1982, plus a fisherman’s note about the Coast Guard story and a reader’s appeal. A monetary loss notice seeks the return of $60 cash lost at Delchamps, with a contact number and a blessing.
Editorial notes that a third grand jury critique of local planning has drawn state attention from Tallahassee. State land resource officials could designate the coast as a area of critical concern and regulate permits for condos and marinas, challenging home rule. County commissioners resist state intrusion while avoiding decisive planning reforms. If leadership fails, state intervention may come too late for Okaloosa and Walton counties.
Mike Mitchell discusses odd issues in Okaloosa County including beaver dam complaints, Gulf Shore Drive widening proposals, and reef refurbishing plans. He notes Crestview board activities affecting Destin, and critiques state and county debt practices while urging ethical contracts.
A columnist recalls the USFL launch starring Herschel Walker and debates its credibility and market appeal. He compares it to the ill fated World Football League, noting under capitalization and inflated attention. He questions 12 month football and suggests spring games in Chicago may outshine December cold.
