Excellence

1. Our public safety department

0

They are all triple certified and very community focused - yesterday I awoke to a text trying to locate a person missing in our community for a little more than an hour - where he had been - when he was last seen - and our community pulled together and found him within an hour

2. Our oceanside farmers market

0

So fortunate to have local beyond organic farmers and ranchers here

3. Dinner at a highly rated local restaurant for my anniversary

0

The last reservation they had until the end of February - the food is always fresh and local

4. Wild Mahi-mahi caught a few miles offshore

0

Fresh fresh fresh

5. Our local post office

0

Their service and knowledge is pretty awesome - had an issue - required some detective work - figured it out and it was solved

6. My neighbors put on an awesome New Year fireworks display

0

Fireworks on the beach are fun

7. Our local jeweler replaced batteries in two of my adventure watches

0

I hadn’t realized how much I missed wearing my dive watch - it was promised in a day or two - but it was done the same day

8. Our little “grab a bite” to eat on the beach joint

0

Catering to surfers - has a full time chef - has been there for decades - always a delightful stop

9. Our new bike lanes

0

Florida DOT didn’t hesitate to add these upgraded bike lanes along the highway when asked by the community - they get a LOT of use and they’re a lot safer for our community

10. The neighborhood otter who showed up at my front door

0

Surprised and delighted - it was going to get out of the neighborhood onto the highway - had to steer it back to the pond

11. We now have a new road sign “Land Crab Crossing”

0

It’s really about our native blue land crabs - but is always a reminder not to be a land crab myself 🦀 🐚 and to stay cool 😎 no matter the situation
