Are there any public water fountains? Can’t find any while running.

I go for long runs mostly through and around downtown and often over the bridge and back. I can’t seem to find any public water fountains to take a quick drink while I’m on my runs. Do any exist? I’ve ran through some parks and still nothing. It seems very unusual for a city with a high military population that would certainly be running around.

Walk-through Christmas light display.

Does anybody know if there are any light displays that you can walk through. Like in a park or something. Willing to drive for a little bit to find one. I think niceville used to do one at their public library, but I'm not sure. Anything closer?

Pediatrician who accepts unvaccinated child

Does anyone know of any pediatrician who accepts patients younger than 6 years old that have not been vaccinated? I cannot find one that will accept my children. I have my reasons why I don't vaccinate, so I do not need anyone's opinion on this subject, I just need help finding a doctor who would see my child asap. Thank you!

Yall see that huge crash on Hwy 29 in front of Winn Dixie?

Anybody have any news on that? It's right up the street from where I am in Cantonment. I just saw the north road closed off, like 10 cop cars incl state troopers and ambulances and people standing all around right in front of the Winn Dixie parking lot. Driving past all I could see was a single mangled piece of some part of the front of a car sitting nearby, and all I could think was where the hell is the rest of it??? That lanes probably going to be closed all night.

Pensacola Work Status

Dear “I’m Moving To Pcola, What’s The Job Market Look Like There???”,

It doesn’t have one, if you’re not a well paid remote worker, doing construction work, retired, or enjoy having multiple service industry jobs. Over the weekend I was talking to a couple at Odd Colony and heard their horror story about being travel nurses and not finding good paying nursing jobs here, even though their’s plenty of employment opportunities for nurses—you just won’t get paid your worth. So really think about your decisions before moving here, when it comes to employment. Wishing everyone the best moving to Pensacola and I hope you find the employment you need during your transition.

Best cosmetic derm/med spa?

Looking for recs for places and specific providers for skincare services such as lasers, Botox, facials, etc. I have a regular derm but that practice is more practical in terms of medical dermatology.

Anyone Lose a Dog on the West Side - 65th & Lilian Hwy Area?

We caught this on our security camera overnight, and then we saw the dog again near Little Flower around 6 this morning. It’s got a collar on, so I’d assume someone is missing it!

Pros and cons of moving to Pensacola?

From Mobile, been considering moving for a while and there are things I like about Pensacola. We visit frequently so we’re familiar with the area. Just wondered what the locals say. We’re in our 50s, no kids, like a little night life.

Help on Research

Hello All!

I am currently a senior in college about to graduate in a couple of weeks. I am currently finishing up my last research paper and would love to get the input from the people of Pensacola as well as other costal communities. I am currently researching the perception of disaster preparedness. If you are able to take my survey it would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful. It is a brief survey so it should only take a couple of minutes. The survey is completely anonymous.

Thank you so much.

Need a new Sunday brunch/breakfast idea.

Looking to move to Pensacola at the end of the year/beginning of 2025 and need area recommendations.

I would prefer an area that is quiet but not too far from grocery stores (Publix/Winn Dixie/Wal-mart/Target). I'm not sure who does internet (Comcast/Spectrum?) but I need to have fast internet for my job. I'm looking for rent to be $1200 max or under. I was thinking CAntonment but want to be near the Floribama line if possible. I'd like to avoid the college kids areas if possible.

Goalie Needed for Adult Soccer League

Hello! First time poster. Apologies if this violates any of the rules.

My team plays in Southern Soccer Association’s organized Sunday league and we’re prepping for the upcoming winter season that starts January 5th (organized friendlies scheduled for December 8th and 15th).

Taking a shot in the dark, but we’re in need of a goalie/keeper. No specific skill level required. League is open to males and females aged 16+. League usually runs for 7-8 weeks and costs ~$70.

See below URL for league’s Facebook page:
