Who else agrees – Taco Tuesday > Tornado Tuesday? 🌮🌪️ Panama City and Historic St. Andrews faced some serious winds (75-100mph kind of serious.) Though we weathered some wild winds, our spirits are unshaken.

Thankfully, most of our restaurants, retailers, and hotels are still open and ready to serve you and help those affected by these storms.

Our hearts go out to those affected, and together, we're proving that is not just a tag, it's a way of life. Stay strong, stay positive, and let's taco 'bout brighter days together! 💙🌮

It was very humbling to hear from so many past and future guests who were concerned for our welfare after the tornado. We so appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you all.

In the neighborhood. And our very own Ellen Mapelsden offers a free walking tour at 1pm on Wednesday and Friday starting at the museum.

The Panama City Publishing Company Museum was constructed circa 1920 by George Mortimer West in the heart of Historic St. Andrews. Beautifully restored in 2008, it is now home to local historic displays and features the building’s original printing equipment.
