  • Palm Coast Food Truck Ordinance Faces Criticism and Calls for Revision
  • Flagler/Palm Coast Development Map: A Comprehensive Resource for Residents and Developers.
The article discusses the new food truck ordinance in Palm Coast that missed the mark in its first run.

The proposed ordinance faced criticism from local food truck owners and residents for being too restrictive and not addressing key issues such as operating hours and location regulations.

Despite efforts to amend the ordinance, concerns remain about the impact on small business owners and the vibrant food truck community in Palm Coast.

The city council is expected to revisit the ordinance in the future to address these concerns and find a more balanced solution.

❄️ Smart Tips for Affordable Holiday Travel βœˆοΈπŸ’°
Holiday season trips don’t have to freeze your bank account! With some early planning and clever strategies, you can enjoy festive travel without the financial stress. Here’s how to make the most of your holiday adventures on a budget:

 

πŸ“… Book Early & Be Flexible – Airfare and hotel rates jump fast during the holidays. Booking in advance and staying flexible with travel dates (like flying midweek) can lead to big savings.

🏠 Consider Alternative Stays – Instead of pricey hotels, try vacation rentals, hostels, or house-sitting options. Staying slightly outside major tourist areas can also cut costs.

🧳 Pack Smart to Avoid Fees – Pack efficiently to avoid baggage charges. Bring snacks and reusable water bottles to skip airport and road trip markups.

🎟️ Use Rewards & Discounts – Redeem credit card points, airline miles, or loyalty rewards. Don’t forget student, senior, and military discounts if they apply.

πŸš— Plan Transportation Ahead – Compare rideshares, rental car apps, and public transit options early. Booking ahead can help you secure lower rates and avoid holiday price surges.

🍴 Eat Local & Carry Snacks – Skip overpriced tourist dining spots. Try local eateries, food trucks, or pack meals for travel days to save more.

🎁 Travel Light on Gifts – Instead of carrying bulky gifts, ship them ahead or purchase them at your destination. Better yet β€” gift experiences instead of items!

 

βœ… Takeaway: With early planning, smart choices, and a little resourcefulness, you can enjoy a cheerful and memorable holiday getaway without stretching your budget. Travel joyfully, spend wisely, and make meaningful memories this season!
