born & raised in Pensacola... moved to Atlanta in '06..... yes Lord stay away. It should read: "If you're under 60 years of age, STAY AWAY!" ---------------------------------- After IVAN the Terrible. My family ended up homeless for a while. I was working to 2 jobs- 6 days per wk to bring in what I work 8-5 m-f to earn plus a little extra. Pensacola is not a place for young-middle aged people. It just isn't. It will always be homw, but I plan to only visit. Even with a degree you don't get what you should. That's just sad because Pensacola IS NOT a poor city. It is however a hoarding city. All it does is take take take. Taxes here-taxes there; cost of living is out of this world. I have found that there is cheaper housing in Atlanta. I live in an apartment here that is as big and beautiful as a house and pay less than what my rent for a trailor climbed to be in Pensacola. ---To anyone who is looking at this, trying to decide on whether or not you want to move to this place: Change your mind; don't even let the thought of LIVING in Pensacola cross it again. If you're living there and reading this: "RUN! Get out while you can. Go to a place where you can proper and be in good health. Because by the time you get through stressing over how to Survive in Pensacola, you'll have a Coronary, Stroke, or be on Meds for depression. Hear me and take it in. If you're under age 60, this is not he place for you.
