I was visiting with a client for whom I had helped buy a gulf front condo recently. He lives up north where at this time of year there's snow on the ground. It was a beautiful day as usual here in Panama City Beach. The sky was clear and blue without a trace of clouds. The sun was bright and warm but not too hot.

A new shopping center is going to be built across from Simon Properties Pier Park Development. This is great news for Panama City Beach. Wal-Mart is also building a Super Store adjacent to Pier Park so this is going to be a busy area and can only mean investors think this area is ready to grow.

The architecture and landscaping will be very similar to Pier Park.

The Glimcher Development Corp will release an announcement once leases have been signed for fifty percent of...
