Several months ago, we reported in the HotSpot NewsNote, that state Legislators passed a pilot program allowing municipalities to issue special permits for "doggie dining" areas. Not many moved forward. Now, however, the Panama City Beach City Council passed the first reading of a new law that will allow authorized restaurants to accommodate dogs "in special outside dining areas."
It seems as though several of our council members were approached by local eateries (particularly in the Pier Park area) to establish the permitting process - and why not? Plenty of outside activities ... plenty of sunshine ... plenty of grass ... and increased traffic from the canine lovers of the world!
Yes - there are some strict rules that accompany the new law - but, it should be fun. Who knows, we might even progress to frisbee tosses and obstacle courses - that'd be a BLAST!
