‼️‼️‼️ GULF BREEZE MAN TO TURN FORMER HAPPY JOE'S BUILDING INTO AREA GENTLEMEN'S CLUB‼️‼️‼️

December 8, 2025

Sources have confirmed a Gulf Breeze man has purchased the former Happy Joe's building on Hwy 87 with plans to open Santa Rosa's first Gentlemen's Club. Breezers Gentlemen's Club is the vision of Albert Ivan Camelia who owns Sunset and Shoreline Investments.

A recent Google maps search showed the future name of the business as Breezer's Gentlemen's Club. Residents have had mixed feelings about this. Some (mostly males residing west of Tiger Point) have been very supportive. While others, mostly married white female military spouses east of Waterburger, were in strong opposition. We asked a local resident and former mayoral runner-up, Barry N. Kochinner, how he felt and here's what he had to say, "I'm in support of it! I think it's a good classic power move by Gulf Breeze over Navarre. We've been playing nice with Midway for a long time. Mostly because it's always been a lesser class of people than we welcome in Gulf Breeze, but Navarre has been coming up. It's come a long way from the dirt roads, trailers and fights at the sports complex. So now we're coming for it. Don't be surprised if you see Gulf Breeze expanding it's City Limits soon."

We also spoke with long time Navarre resident Mike from Grindr and here's what he had to say, "I'm not in support of any establishment where women expose themselves, but that's mainly because I like men. That being said, it's still better than Happy Joe's."

Local business owners were divided as well. Many thinking it would bring unwanted traffic and people to the self proclaimed "dependa capital of the world". Others like Black Label Culinary Arts thought it could bring much needed night life and business to the struggling "wannabe Gulf Breeze" economy.

We spoke with one future employee, Dru Breeze about the possibility of being the first exotic dancer in the county's history. Breeze said she's "excited" about the opening and "nervous" about being the first girl to grip a pole since the county's inception. Adding that "Breezers will bring employment back to many struggling dancers from Club 51" as well as "bring in income and taxes from the beach that we normally would not see otherwise." She also thinks it is a good neutral spot for county sheriff's and first responders alike to hang out after or during shift, which may cool off rival tensions between amongst them. When asked what made her get into the business, Breeze had this to say, "I almost graduated class of 2011 from Navarre. All the rich guys I went to school with are already married with trophy wives with Starbucks cards. Hell, I'd settle for a participation trophy. But this is all I have got now. It's my last chance. These looks won't last forever. I mean, who else is gonna pay for these kids? Definitely not their daddies"

They also plan to make use of the current buffet by serving breakfast along with a puffy taco special on Tuesdays. Breezer's is set to open February 5, 2026 South Santa Rosa Gazette will continue to provide you with up to date information as we make it up.

🚨 Sandestin Scandal: Locals Warn “My Vacation Haven” Is More Like a Cart-astrophe 🚨

SANDESTIN, FL - What started as a beachside getaway has turned into a vacation horror story for multiple guests of My Vacation Haven, a local rental company now infamous for shady fees, busted golf carts, and ghosted customer service.

One recent renter was slapped with a $600 charge for “golf cart misalignment” - backed by two nearly identical photos labeled “before” and “after,” where the only difference was a slightly sassy wheel. No damage. No repair invoice. Just vibes and a Venmo request.

But it’s not just one unlucky tourist. Dozens of guests have reported:
• Broken or missing golf carts (some never worked at all)
• Surprise charges for “parking on grass” (even if just an inch over)
• Dirty homes with mold and mildew
• Bikes with flat tires, stoves that don’t work, and Wi-Fi that’s MIA

One review summed it up: “They nickel and dime you with no warning — and disappear when you ask questions.”

Repeat visitors are now warning others: double-check your rental, take photos of everything, and maybe keep your cart on a leash. And of course, do not expect any customer service here.

Because in Sandestin, the only thing more dangerous than a drunk driver might just be a mildly tilted tire.

You’ve been warned. Share this with someone booking a Sandestin vacation. Save up a little more and go to 30A, peasants.

🐻 SHIRTLESS LOCAL LEGEND AND HERO RESCUES BEAR CUB ON FORT PICKENS, RETURNS TO MOMMA BEAR, MELTS HEARTS

Damion McMullen carries lone cub —nicknamed “AI” after late surfer Andy Irons —through the sand like a coastal Mowgli, reuniting it with its mom and instantly becoming local lore.

FORT PICKENS – In an act of heroism that’s somewhere between a Disney movie and a Jimmy Buffett fever dream, local man Damion McMullen was spotted casually strolling down the shoreline — barefoot, shirtless, and cradling a live bear cub in his arms.

Witnesses say the bear cub appeared “chill,” “very polite,” and “way more well-behaved than the tourists we usually get.”

According to McMullen, the cub was alone, disoriented, and wandering the beach like it had taken a wrong turn at Fort Pickens.

“I looked down, and he looked up. No words were exchanged, but there was a connection,” McMullen said. “He needed a ride home, and I had two legs and nowhere to be.”

Without hesitation — or bear repellent — McMullen scooped up the cub, named him AI (in honor of surfing icon Andy Irons), and began the noble barefoot trek down the sand to reunite the fuzzy wanderer with its presumed mother, somewhere deeper in the dunes.

“It felt right,” McMullen said. “Like when you find a dog with no collar, except the dog is a bear and your shirt is back in your truck.”

Officials from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission later confirmed the cub was healthy, safely returned to its mother, and “clearly bonded with the man during their short but meaningful journey.”

No citations were issued, and FWC representatives reportedly gave McMullen a respectful head nod — the highest form of approval available in the field.

As of today, the bear cub has returned to its natural habitat, while Damion has returned to being a local legend, a philosopher, surfing enthusiast and possibly the first unofficial bear whisperer in Santa Rosa County.

When asked what’s next, McMullen simply said:

“Probably tacos. And maybe a nap.”
