@taxpayer…….maybe you should re-think the farming comment. Without farming, well, you wouldn’t eat. Poker chips don’t digest very well, but if you believe its okay to put a farmer out of business so suckers can go gamble, then I hope you enjoy THAT buffet.

if all the people the want pot to be grown would just move to Colorado it would alleviate a lot of problems in Florida. Please do not grow more pot and do not ruin the lives of others with another casino

It is apparent that the Porch Tribe has no respect for the folks who have residential land around their puny little acre. to have constructed that building next to a home is very inconsiderate to be sure, Whether there is gambling in fiorida or alabama is irrevelant to me, however I think consideration for land holders residential areas should be a concern of the county, state and respected by the Tribe. the casino in Atmore does not encroach on private homes and I believe they should show us the same consideration…..

It is fact that the Porch do a great deal of good for the community, however there is a point as to when a financial embarkement can be a cruel tool to harm previous land owners and their dwellings, very inconsdiderate indeed, The Tribe certainly has the money to purchase lands away from housing areas and farming lands………Anyone with a good conscience recognizes when they are making a serious error against another..

for you people think that thinks a gabling place will bring in drugs,murders etc,well look at Escambia county,they have gangs,killing and drugs every day of he week.you dot hear all that killing in atmore. its brought in jobs and a place kids can even go to movies and bowling alley.do you see the lottery building new schools with their money,i don’t. the tribe is always helping our schools in some way. I don’t see Escambia county getting any jobs in here/ all they worried about is the beach.look at mobile they always gets jobs over there. all our money goes out of the state,not bringing in. you ever hear people here winning big on the lottery.look on their web site,its all in south florida. whats up with that? keep keep all their big winning scratch offs down. they cant say they don’t know where thoses big winners go because the control it. Escambia county is low paying and not enough high paying jobs here. the commissioners don’t want jobs here. they want tourist here for the beach.only so many people can work at Walmart. leave the Indians alone atleast they have jobs.

CW, it’s not so much about this particular location as it is them getting their foot in the door with Florida. This location will be used as a doorway into Florida.

With that said, I approve of them putting a casino.

” It brought drugs, thieves, heavy traffic and booze to the area. If you like that in Atmore, thats ok. I dont care to have it in my backyard.”

@Puddin,
It certainly did not. Atmore had drugs, alcohol, and thieves long before Wind Creek was ever thought of. I’m old enough to remember the crack epidemic back in the early 90’s. Traffic has increased a little, but it’s far from “heavy”.

There is a casnio in Tampa run by the Indians, so what’s the difference here?

I love Windcreek. The movie theater is great, the Christmas lights were beautiful. I don’t care to put any money in a game but if some one else does I don’t care. I am going to check out the restaurants and spa. Might go bowling and drink a pitcher of beer. I hope the tribe continues to use good sense and gets a foothold in Florida also. I don’t mind if they grow pot either. It would help tourism and bring $ to the area.
