I lived in Pensacola from 1977 to 1982 and have thought that if it wasn't for TV I would of probably retired to Pensacola. I haven't been back to visit since 1997 right after the hurricane tore up the beach area. When I lived there the nearest civic center was Mobile or Gulfport, we only had that auditorium down on the Pier. I lived off Scenic Hwy south of Summit in a new subdivision at the time, it was nice but didn't have enough golf courses as I remember, but Pensacola beach was great.
