Seriously... Mike, Please Change the Thumbnail and Title. It is just inaccurate. This seems to be something you may take pride in, the locals you are representing are needing this corrected.
At the 34:00 minute mark you can see the condo on your left and parking garage on your right. Calypso Resort! Where we stay every year. Very nice condos that’s on the beach. Big nice rooms and lovely pools. Parking garage is always a bonus too. Close to everything. 5 stars!!!
My has PCB changed. I used to live just 4 hours away from PCB, spent a lot of time down there. However that was a long time ago as now I'm a good 10 - 11 hours away. Been 20 years since last time I've been to PCB and it's changed so much. Thanks for the vid!
I rode the charter bus to Panama City Beach, so it was one of the best times of my lifetime. I really enjoyed going there and seeing the city and the people that were visiting. I stayed at one of the best hotels there. I loved their shopping center near Edgewater Hotel off of Highway 30. Panama City Beach can’t get no better than this, and I would love to live there. The problem is the flooding situation are really bad. Panama City Beach is a very good place to visit and the students from all over the world can come stay for a whole week.
I grew up in South Georgia and this was like our beach!😊 . I guarantee alot of the people you see walking and riding around are there for the weekend from Georgia.
@@JONISTI1 PCB has always been an attraction for Ga. and Alabamians. They used to call it the Redneck Riviera. I'm pretty sure they would not had built that endless row of hotels along the beach if they had not intended people to come stay in them. SMH.
Heading west over the Hathaway Bridge that connects Panama City, Florida to Panama City Beach, Florida on Front Beach Road, past where I used to live before Hurricane Michael, past Pier Park, and one of my favorite eateries ending at Back Beach Road. Now I'm in Panamá, the country. TY for a great memory ride!
I've visited here a few times, I'm not a local. I don't understand why there's negative comments. I've never had any problems while here. Would it be a good idea to retire here?? Asking for a friend.
As a resident I’d say it really depends on when you retire because as of now there is tons of renovation and new buildings and expansions happening, unless your ok with constantly dealing with companies for land or new condos being built.
Worst part of pcb is Thomas drive and front beach road. It's where wal mart and pineapple willys is by. Every year that place is ridiculous with drunk college kids everywhere. This past spring break was a good example of how bad it gets.
So on the beginning of your video...you said welcome to PCB....you were actually still in Panama City. ...and also...No local calls PCB ..Panama City, as they are 2 separate city's. I'm one of the rare Natives of Bay County.
@@MileageMikeTravels Panama City and Panama City Beach are the same. The Beach is the Beach and the Downtown is Downtown. As a lifelong Local and PR/Marketing and being in the politics ...it is one town (Bay County).
@@ITSHProductions you need to do more research.....being a lifetime local...you should know that Panama City and PCB are NOT the same. They are completely 2 different city's. Yes they are both part of Bay County....doesn't mean they are the same. It's just like Mexico Beach is in Bay County....BUT its not part of Panama City. Lynn Haven is in Bay County....but its also not part of Panama City.
The Thumbnail and Title NEED to be Corrected!!! This is NOT "Downtown" Panama City 'BEACH' is Just that, it is the 'Beach' to Panama City. Panama City has a "Downtown"; Harrison Avenue is "Downtown". (See you have a video, but for visitors that do not know, they need to be aware). ----> If you have to 'Name' it.... It is called "The Strip" i.e. "let's go cruise the Strip" Please, please, change this 🙏 "Downtown" needs tourism too...especially since #hurricanemichael and now with Covid.
@@ITSHProductions If you conduct any business with PCB to have to go to 79 & 98 to do it. All PCB government services are conducted from this area and that is why i would call it downtown PCB .
It is amazing how the money grabbing developers have ruined this beautiful area of the Gulf coast. Wen I was there in 68-70, all those god awful condos and hotels were not there. You could drive along the beach and see the water, the palm trees, a few lounges and some motels, and no real traffic jams. Now you can drive along the 'Front Beach Road' and never see the beach. There must be 100s of street lights. What kind of vacation place is this monstrosity?
Don't base your choice off others. I was moved here as a child against my wishes. I'm originally from mountains and farm land....I hated moving here, until my 20s, this is a gorgeous place with great Mom and Pop places and if it's not the emerald waters and white sand, it's the natural springs and wildlife you cannot find anywhere else. Not to mention the people are nice.
Look like any other town in Florida with overdevelopment of high-rises, and concrete. I am better off staying in Miami. Truly in an effort to make a quick buck we have destroyed Paradise! This is truly the concrete state, as poring it is what we do best!!!
😮 january February march come home april warms up retire Florida not go hurricane season august sept October November go January feb march end april void winter here cold 😅
Hurricane Michael put a bad hurting on the residence of Panama City, there was a housing crisis before the hurricane but after Michael there's been a large number of homeless working people wandering the streets and making homeless camps

I was there in Panama city and Florida beach last year in Jan2021. Lovely place.
No such thing as "Downtown" PCB... The only "Downtown" ( if you wanna call it "Down town") is old Panama City.

You are in Panama City once you cross the bridge heading East.

Will be there on 7/3! So pumped! The family needs a beach vacation.
Going down front beach is long and stressfull -- I try to avoid it
We were just there. Loved it. Ready to move.
Have U Moved To Panama City,Florida Yet
No not yet will be a few years yet.

Was hoping you coulda pulled off somewhere.to show us the beach.caught sight of it from a distance.been awhile since i seen it.

You've lived here long enough to know this outta town sumbitch don't know better

Some Much SightSeeing To Do On The Strip In Panama City Beach, Florida Yes Sir Indeed It Is Just Be Safe Doing So
Those golf cart drivers seem to be a little aggressive out there!
yeah some people dropped their baby off one a few days ago. like deadass. i live in pcb

What is the point?
It’s buatiful I was there last week is a good vacation with family
Race city parking lot is renovation. The building is gone by July 2021. I love ❤️ PCB
We just came back from vacationing in a lovely condo on front beach road
Where Exactly Did U Guy’s Stay AT The Condominium On The Beach Front
Beautiful beach there 2009 vacation Florida long long drive 2009 april
I’m trying to go🥺❤🙏🏼
Nice video
Love your videos.
People have absolutely no respect.
The people in the extended golf cart littered right in front of you.
Disgusting.
That's why we locals are sick and tired of Georgia, Alabama and nearby visitors that trash OUR CITY AND OUR BEACHES
@@JONISTI1 But that Money though...
Go in Casa Loma
Downtown PCB is at the corner of Hwy 79 & 98 ( old Back Beach Rd ) where city hall, police dept., Library is .
There is not a Downtown PCB...
PCB is the Beach to Panama City, Panama City has a Downtown...Harrison Avenue.
@@ITSHProductions If you conduct any business with PCB to have to go to 79 & 98 to do it. All PCB government services are conducted from this area and that is why i would call it downtown PCB .

It was awesome, I hanged out with my family in the pool

I use to live on Lynn street
I live here this place sucks for locals
it looks sad
You haters bruh I tell ya
This ain't nothing but a tourist town
there is no such thing as "downtown" pcb. pcb is just pcb. downtown is old panama city which is a beautiful place to visit.
Ha! I came here to say this same thing, if there was a downtown it would be pier park

Note to self... take 98 as much as possible everywhere.. because the traffic in the video literally got on my nerves
What is this Mario kart? What's with the banana peel in the road
Are we not gonna talk about all those lifted trucks and people illegally driving golf carts on the roadway
It's not illegal on front beach road
Golf carts are legal there. You can rent them
Lived in Navarre 😁
But if you want a more scenic route, drive 30A 😁
Some nice scenery along that road & the beaches are gorgeous too !
30A is a beautiful drive!
Just spent a few days here. 😁
