No you will not see that in Gulf Breeze.....but Met is around in the run down areas.

The girl that ran down the cop was in Gulf Breeze I believe when that happened not too long ago. She was buzzed out of her head on crack. There's plenty of drugs in Gulf Breeze too.

No, I was sad. There are so many things which can hurt kids permanently and huffing is not the way to get high. I remember in Junior High some kids huffing, but there are so many better ways for a kid to get high without rotting their brain.

No one is disputing that....but persons under the influence like described would not be tolerated in the local establishments.

The live in girlfriend of the old rich owner of the Crown Plaza was high as a kiteven on coke.

Has anyone here ever heard it referred to by this name?  I hadn't until I ran across this wiki page.  I've always heard it be called the "Gulf Breeze Peninsula".

Demographics

According to different estimates between 35,000-42,200 residents are living in the unincorporated area of Navarre (one of the fastest growing areas in Florida).^{[citation needed]} Navarre is located in one of the top school districts in Florida

1.  for seaoat.  That school district referred to is the Santa Rosa County school district which includes the schools in Pace.

2.  I had no idea until reading this that the population of Navarre was that close to the population of the City of Pensacola (which is only 51,000).  Nor that Navarre is "one of the fastest growing areas of Florida".

I gotta tell you that population figure for Navarre is really quite bizarre when the population of Ft. Walton Beach is only 20,000.
Not sure I'm buying that.

Yes Bob, for several years Navarre was the fastest growing community and Santa Rosa county was the fastest growing county in the nation.

I campaigned for higher salaries for our deputies. They are one of the lowest paid in the state. So many are hired, trained, and forced to leave for better pay.

I did some googling,  Joani.  It's true,  the population of unincorporated Navarre is 31,000.
Six times the population of the incorporated city of Gulf Breeze.   I woulda never thunk it.

There has been an effort to incorporate Navarre with their frustration with the County on zoning issues and local control.
