It’s sexy. It’s original. It’s got everything to make a popular post – in fact it’s so dang good it could…

That's Entertainment
Around 75,000 people live in Walton County. That’s the same number of people who live in a beachside city in France, called Cannes. There are 85 other cities in France the same size as Cannes, but you probably couldn’t name them. You know about Cannes because it’s home to the world’s most prestigi…

Life Is Sweeter
If you could get your hands on, say, somewhere between 70 and one hundred-some-odd acres of beachside property, and you wanted to start a business, what would you do with it? Back in 1969, the answer to that question was the Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club, sometimes known as the Santa Rosa Golf Club…

Life Is Short, Art Lives Forever
From kids in preschool, to activity groups in retirement villages, people make art. Look around any room. From your doctor's waiting room to your sister's bedroom, you'll almost invariably find art on the walls. Art is everywhere. We often talk about art and commerce as if they’re opposites, like …
