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.
I suppose if you like the heat and love the beach, Pensacola is for you! I didn't move down by choice but I'm happy I found Pensacola State College with an awesome Graphic Art degree program. I hope that in the future a Trader Joe's and Whole Foods will be built here. Pensacola State College has an ever growing art department and I desperately ask for an art supply store to be built in Pensacola, not just craft stores like Michael's and Hobby Lobby.
Pensacola is the quiet beach town that comes to mind when you simply want to get away. It encompasses the whitest beaches and largest National Seashore for hundreds of miles around. In addition to it's obvious appeal for waterside luxury, Pensacola is also a wonderful place to live. There are several Military Bases located in Pensacola and surrounding towns, making this an extremely military-friendly place. Also, our schools rank among the top 10 in the state! With multiple hospitals, marinas, restaurants, stores, and local culture, you're sure to find just what it is you're looking for in a hometown.
