Wake Up & Smell What's Brewin' in PCB

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee is one of the most recognizable smells in the world, a scent that seems almost as eye-opening as the inky liquid itself.

Crosswalk Murals Will Bring Color to the Streets of Panama City

Photos courtesy of the Bay Arts Alliance The streets of Panama City will soon shine a little brighter! Bay Arts Alliance has partnered with the City of Panama City (@thecityofpanamacitygovt), Quality of Life (@pc_qualityoflife), and the Panama City Downtown Improvement Board to complete the first of many crosswalks in Historic Downtown Panama City.  The first mural “A Bloom with a View” by Jennifer Honeycutt was recently completed at the intersection of E. 4th Street and Luverne Avenue behind the Center for the Arts. Loosely based on a Monarch butterfly’s perspective, this design includes abstract layers of saturated Milkweed flowers over Fiddlehead ferns, accented with Monarch caterpillars. Honeycutt drew inspiration from the beautiful Monarch mural on the Bay Arts Alliance building and the fact that butterflies see in ultraviolet and polarized light. Honeycutt is a Florida-based artist/designer who has resided in Panama City Beach since 2020. A graphic designer by trade, she enjoys exploring multiple artistic mediums. A self-proclaimed tree hugger, Honeycutt is equally passionate about art and environmental studies which is often evident in her work. In her spare time, she can be found exploring nature with friends, family, and her dog, Chuck.

On January 31st Walton County Sheriff’s Office immediately removed Artie Rodriguez, 52, from his position as a School Resource Deputy at the Walton Academy and launched an investigation after a victim came forward to file a report. It was discovered during the investigation that between December 9th, 2022, and January 26th, 2023, Rodriguez attempted to engage in a sexual relationship with the student both in person and via text, he showed this student explicit photos, touched the student in an inappropriate manner, and provided the student with a vape pen. Our agency is thoroughly investigating whether there was additional misconduct while Rodriguez was on duty, on school premises, or otherwise. “Not only was Rodriguez in a position of trust as a School Resource Deputy, but at a school where kids are truly vulnerable and already facing hardship and challenges of their own,” said Sheriff Michael Adkinson. “It’s a violation of his oath of office and the badge.” Rodriguez started with the Walton County Sheriff’s Office in October of 2001 and went into reserves in June 2017 returning to full-time status in August 2022. “This is a long-standing member of our agency, but I won’t mince words,” continued Adkinson. “We will not, under any circumstances, tolerate this type of behavior from someone in a position of authority – particularly one who is interacting...
