Pensacola Metro Area

$3.93 unleaded / $4.99 diesel

This is lowest I found in my area, averages around 4.09 / 5.04.

This is not a flex, just depressing 😔 is all this is..

I do believe we have the best beaches in Florida but world? hmmmm.

You could make a claim for Tampa area/ Clearwater/ Naples but they all have been decimated by red tide and farm run off, and is still an issue. The Atlantic side is brown sand which is a lower grade of sand compared to the quartz that makes ours up. Down by Miami Beach, it amazing but over populated. As for the keys they are made out of coral and is very difficult to enjoy on barefoot. As for Big Bend area, very minimal beach area and is mainly swamps.

So, Pensacola Beach area is better overall, when you check boxes like water pollution, over populated, sand quality and fishing and Blue Angels. Destin, area is right up there but it is hard to find a quite part of the beach and is way over populated/ over built compared to Pensacola Beach. Destin is your typical tourist trap. Plus, Pensacola Beach you still have downtown Pensacola to add to it with its history. You don't get that anywhere else besides St. Augustine.

The only thing I way disagree with is housing, it is not that cheap but I guess when compared to the rest of Florida, unless you want to live in Perry, is cheaper. But, articles like this do make housing costs go up because Developers see this and they see potential demand and raise prices accordingly. So, articles like this is a double edge sword.

Take other routes, if possible.

Closed completely in between Ward Basin and 87 with some spill over in westbound lanes, as well.

They are directing all eastbound traffic off at Ward Basin.

** Consider other routes going home if I - 10 Eastbound to 87 is where you live.

Just a heads up.

If you can't see why this would be an issue then you are also part of the problem.

The optics of bragging about how much you make as a line-man is not the issue the blasting your VA disability income with it as well though. Now you start to throw shade at the rest of us.

You work as a line man with a 100% disability. That is as bad of an optic as you can get. So, it might be best to keep that to yourself and stop bragging about it. That should be private information only. I could careless what you work with a 100% or w.e you just don't need to tell thousands more about it.

I know you will comment about signing that contract. The Military used us. The VA owes us. I get it but...

Just have some tact and stop being ignorant to public opinion because it does matter. Veterans are not a massive voting block in this country. So we need to be mindful of that. Public opinion could easily sway against us and then vote in politicians to cut our benefits..

So stop giving them reasons!!

Just incase anyone missed it, they broke ground and already starting construction, who knew.

** Now if they can build these units without any tax rebate on a former poop plant site that still requires soil mitigation, just like the Hard Rock/ Condo Project does. Then they can build that condo project without it (tax rebate) too and using toxic soil as an excuse is not a reason.
