CRESTVIEW — Here are the latest top comments that our readers shared on www.crestviewbulletin.com and our Facebook page.
Readers shared their thoughts on Crestview quality of life; the downtown area; and Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church’s youth group, whose “Do Something” efforts generated plenty of goodwill throughout North Okaloosa County.
DOWNTOWN NEEDS MORE ALCOHOL
No beer, wine or other alcohol sales in the downtown area will continue to stifle any growth there!
Any vibrant downtown area in this country has more than a few bars, restaurants and nightspots where people like to come to enjoy socializing.
The Crestview Main Street area will remain a dead zone until such places are opened there!

‘WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS?’
As a business owner on Main Street, I wonder why no invite (to the Main Street Merchants Association).
As usual, is this just for North Main or are we all included? These things always seem to forget the south end, which, by the way, is the end connected to 85.
I have had a business on Main Street for 22 years now and have always been told everyone on Main Street wants it ‘this’ way but never got asked.
Why? Am I on the wrong side of the tracks?

CRESTVIEW NEEDS AN AMPHITHEATER
I wish our community would build an amphitheater like the one in Orange Beach to bring in revenue and entertainment.
By hosting concerts, our community businesses would benefit from hotel rentals, merchandise purchases, food sales, and provide jobs for Crestview residents. It would be incredible.

PRAISE FOR ‘AMAZING, INSPIRING’ EFFORTS
Could not be more proud of these young people. My heart swells with pride to know that one of these recipients is one of the kindest, most giving, loving of Jesus’ people I am lucky to call a friend.
All week I have thought how happy it makes me to see someone, who truly gives all their time, receive such a special blessing. I am also proud of the kids and adults who volunteered. I can only imagine the pride they will have when they see how much their work impacted others.
Thank you, mission group, and families who donated your funds and children to participate in such an amazing, inspiring thing.

THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK
I was so proud to wake and see these beautiful Christians working on my neighbor’s house, doing God's work for our hometown.
Love you all, and (you’re) in my prayers. Thank you all again for all the hard — hot — work. I can see God smiling.
