We start the morning off with the sad news of the passing of Cash Moore, the founder and owner of Cash’s Liquors, a well-known liquor chain in Northwest Florida.

  • First reported by WEAR last night, the news station says Moore passed at the age of 85, leaving behind a successful business and a lasting impact on his community. 

While attending Auburn University, Moore worked every summer until 1965 when he was able to open his own bar, the Faux Pas. It quickly became one of the most popular places to be in Fort Walton Beach.

​Today, Cash’s Liquors is the largest independent liquor chain across Northwest Florida with 10 stores, 6 sports bars, a Gentlemen’s club and a night club, according to the company.

  • And just like it was 58 years ago, the company is still family-owned and operated.

Get The Coast sends our condolences to Moore’s family and friends.

“I believe they mean local (Crestview) traffic, not interstate. (I drove it a few weeks ago and they were putting down R.O.W. sod). It's ready!!”

“Why didn't they bring it to North Crestview, they e brought it in at a bad intersection, so many accidents on the corner of 85 and 90 already.”

“What a great history for the town of Shalimar. I lived, grew up and went to school there. Now I'm back after 20 years and still love my town.”

“I like the pedestrian bridge idea but I wonder if it would have to be too tall to accomodate harbor boat traffic. Very interesting concept!”

“With a rock seawall along the water it’s not a beach, just a patch of sand. Take the docks out, add some parking and call it a day”
