Concerns about potential impacts to downtown buildings have in the past drawn resistance from some Milton residents and city leaders over the widening of Hwy. 90 through historic downtown Milton.

Santa Rosa County officials say progress on a long-discussed effort to widen U.S. Highway 90 could help accelerate the project, but the proposal continues to raise questions about traffic congestion through Milton’s historic downtown and the potential impact on older buildings along the corridor.

Shoutout to unnamed very caring individuals

My husband and I were waiting outside a local restaurant to meet friends for dinner. We observed a woman holding the arm of a man with a cane. He was having great difficulty stepping down from the curb to get to his vehicle. It appeared that he might have been recovering from a stroke. My husband walked over to assist them. The three were quickly joined by other adults, young and old. After awhile, the group was able, with care and patience, to help him step off the curb and to his vehicle.

    The University of West Florida is known for its trails as well as its academics.

    Much of the trails traverse through longleaf pine forests. The plant, which once spread over 90 million acres across America, is famously fire-resistant and relies on fires to clear out dead underbrush to make room for its seedlings.
