Welcome to the TripSmarter.Com newsletter for July! We had an exciting contest featured on the site this month... The Tourist Network's newest program, Club Hour, had a Co-Host Contest for their PCB show. Contestants taped or sent in video of themselves auditioning for the part. The top six finalists were selected and their videos put on TripSmarter.Com, along with a voting poll so that our visitors could choose the winner. And, after almost 30,000 votes were tallied, that winner was...

 
 


Atlanta:
Free Concerts on the Bricks!
Forget staying at home in an overly air-conditioned chill, there's no cooler place to be on Friday nights in Atlanta than "on the bricks!"

When someone in Atlanta tells you it's "on the bricks," they talking about the famous paving bricks in Centennial Park... and if they're talking about free concerts on Friday nights, they can only mean Vanilla Coke's On the Bricks concert series, sponsored by Vanilla Coke, TripSmarter.Com and The Atlanta Channel. more on this article


Emerald Coast:
Investing in Destin!
There are a dozen beach towns along the Gulf Coast that are attractive to real estate investors - Gulf Shores, Pensacola, Panama City Beach and Mexico Beach to name a few. So what is it about Destin that has drawn so many into the local real estate market? more on this article

"Destin's the cream of the crop, the Lamborghini vs. the Hyundai,"
-- Carlton Sims, Sales Associate at Newman-Dailey Resort Real Estate.

Key West:
Diving Key West!
Key West is a diver's paradise boasting a National Marine Sanctuary with America's only living coral reef. Numerous wrecked and sunken ships add to the attraction and Key West's "surface intervals" are among the best in the world. And now's the time to visit the Keys! more on this article

"Summer is the best time of year to dive down here... that's when the wind dies down and the blue water moves in." James Noplis, dive instructor at Key West Diving Society told us.

Myrtle Beach:
"Go Play Outside!"
"Go play outside!" A cry heard from many a mother when kids have complained of boredom... and an apt response to anyone asking what to do in Myrtle Beach in the summer.

Myrtle Beach is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. Beautiful beaches that seem to stretch on forever, fishing charters by the dozen, amusement parks, outdoor entertainment venues, and over 100 golf courses to challange every level of skill! more on this article

New Orleans:
Satchmo Summerfest!
New Orleans is once again honoring native son and jazz legend Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong with the return of Satchmo Summerfest. What began as a one-time festival in honor of the centenary of Armstrong's birth has become an annual festival with free admission to a wealth of entertainment and information.

Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong gained fame through his incredible musical talents, and through these increased New Orleans standing as a city of international cultural significance. New Orleans repays this debt with the Satchmo SummerFest, a three-day celebration of the life, legacy, and music of "Satchmo." more on this article

Panama City Beach:
Dinner and a Show!
Inviting audience participation is risky, even for the most practiced of bands... you never know when you'll get someone who'll fly off on their own tangent.

"I guess it's because we're professionals," Troye "Chachi" Cook of Clutch shrugged and said when asked how they handle difficult situations, keep the energy high on a nightly basis, and manage to entertain such a wide audience. more on this article

Tracy Bradley was selected winner of the Club Hour Co-Host Contest after Big O, a local radio personality, felt his pro status gave him an unfair advantage in the vote. We applaud Big O for his good sportsmanship!

It was a close contest, even with Big O's media advantage - only .04% separated Tracy from the third place contestant - out of almost 30,000 votes cast!


SmartPick!
of the Month

"Beach Walk Cafe is popular not only because it faces the water, but also because it has grand style and delicious Gulf Coast cooking with Italian, French and Asian accents. Executive chef and owner Tim Creehan, who turns out delicious dishes like pepper-crusted tuna with sauteed spinach and a soy ginger sauce, is one of Florida's emerging culinary talents."
