Corrections, GDC lot records, Turkey Creek lore, or a date that's wrong.

You caught something wrong

Send the URL, the specific claim, and the source that supports the correction. We update the article, note the date, and cite the correcting source. No correction is too small. If a lot number is off by one or a date is a year early, we want to know. The record compounds, and a small error left in place eventually becomes someone else's footnote.

You have source material

GDC-era sales brochures, lot purchase documents, installment-contract correspondence, plat maps, company promotional photographs, Tillman-era photographs, Turkey Creek natural-history records, Brevard County aerial surveys from before the canal grid went in. If you have something physical, scan it at the highest resolution your equipment allows and send the file. If you have a box of documents you can't scan yourself, tell us what it is and where it is. We'll work something out. Attribution is always provided and always specific.

You lived through it

Oral accounts of the GDC era, the lot-sales pitches, the 1987 shootings, the hurricane seasons, the years when Palm Bay was expanding faster than the infrastructure could follow it. We'd rather have a sourced account than a vague one. If you can put a year on it, a street, a name, a document that exists somewhere, that's the difference between a usable account and a story we can't run. We will tell you what we can and can't use before publishing anything.

What we can't help with

Current GDC lot disputes go to the Brevard County Property Appraiser's office, not to us. City services, permit questions, and code-enforcement matters belong with the City of Palm Bay directly. We are a history publication, not a municipal clearinghouse.

We read everything. Most responses within a week.
