You know, some folks just know how to run a business and others just don't get it. The owners of Off the Wall Beach Bar & Grill, Diana and Craig Mccullough, are two owners that do get it. Craig and Diana arrived on St. Croix about 8 years ago. They were gonna stay a couple of years and then go back home to Wisconsin. Well, needless to say, they are

With the state of the economy, worldwide, now is a great time to travel if you can. Airlines, hotels, villas and condos are all offering discounts. It is not unusual to see discounts from 35% to 50% off for lodging. But don't wait too long to plan your trip. With some small signs that the economy may be turning a corner, these incredible discounts won't last forever!

WOW! Did that storm take us by surprise or what! What originally was supposed to be a tropical storm, quickly turned into a Category 3 hurricane with wind gusts of 140mph and took a path right at St. Croix. The island did really well considering. Some areas of the island did much better than others, the east end was hit pretty hard.

Probably the worst part of the storm was the damage done to boats in our harbors and marinas. Over 40 boats were sunk or destroyed. If you have ever owned a boat, you

The US Virgin Islands senate has passed a deal with the makers of Captain Morgan Rum to build a new rum distillery on St. Croix. This facility will bring in a projected $100 million dollars of revenue to the goverment each year, along with a number of new jobs for the island. All I have to say is...it's about time! Finally, we have a governor that understands business and has put aside the "we know better, we'll show you" attitude that has been present in USVI politics. For years there has been this atti

Once again, the environmental extremists on St. Croix have used their attorneys to stifle another economic boost for St. Croix based on legal technicalities and their own desire to keep St. Croix exactly the way they want it. Technicalities, no doubt, put in place by the same people hell bent against anything to do with economic progress of any kind on or around St. Croix!

For years and years I have watched as one major hotel project after another has left St. Croix, along with all their money, only to go to another island in the Caribbean to build there. Why, you may ask, do they do this? It's very simple...we have a small group of ex-patriots (folks that used to live in the states), that are intent on keeping St. Croix just they way THEY want it. Why they would think that an island in the Caribbean, one of the most visited places on earth, would remain primarily rural is an

Here is a story that most of us have been waiting to read for many years now! This can only be good for St. Croix and will bring many tourists to our beautiful island. I know from years of experience that once someone visits St. Croix, they fall in love with it! These cruise ship visits will bring some desperately needed tourist dollars to St. Croix. Bravo Gov. John DeJongh Jr.!

St. Croix is a wonderous place. It's not without it's problems, but somehow the good things about the island always outweigh the bad.<br><br>One morning, several years ago now, I was sitting at one of my favorite spots on the island called Off the Wall Beach Bar. I was there pretty early in the morning (they used to serve breakfast) enjoying a cup of coffee while I waited for a bit of food. It was dead calm and the water was absolutley beautiful. At Off the Wall you are just a few feet from the
