Pensacola, Florida is an amazing small town where the beautiful vast beach sparkles during the day and amazing dining and shopping pleasures you by the evening. You get the benefit of walking through and reliving history in the old historic downtown Pensacola village and drive quickly over the bridge to the amazing white sanded beaches, then splurge on amazing seafood! Pensacola also has an amazing Naval Aviation Museum that is FREE to visit! Also, you just might hear the sound of jets by our famous Blue Angels flying by, they have air shows weekly and can be viewed from the museum or the beach. The people for the most part are pleasant and welcoming to tourists. The only thing I would change is crime rate.
Pensacola has notoriously beautiful beaches, and the views are breathtaking!
Overall, Pensacola is an up and coming small town, with old history and the desire to be new. Some issues I find with Pensacola are the lack of law enforcement presence where needed, as well as allocation of the number of officers in the same areas with low crime. The city is also plagued with half-finished roadway construction, trash thrown all around the city, and the growing number of homeless people without the appropriate resources.

Pensacola is a small town with a lot of history to it. No one really knows but Pensacola was actually the first settlement in America! It is known as the city of five flags because of its previous nation owners from Spain, France, United Kingdom, Confederate States, and the United States. I like Pensacola because of the white sandy beaches. Many would say that Hawaii has the best beaches but I would prove them wrong by showing them Pensacola beach and the many restaurants that are placed nearby.. Some changes I would like to see if to improve on some low income areas so our town would look clean and pretty.Another change would be to expand our downtown area since it is rather small, it would be nice to have a more larger downtown area to go and have fun from time to time.
