Here is a great photo of Pensacola before everyone came and helped us improve it. This was before the city gave away the land where Port Royal is now. On the left was a large ice house, machine shop, Marine supply store. On the right is a ship unloading mahogany logs. They rafted them together and took them down to Bayou Chico Weis Fricker saw mill. Notice how much room the public had around the auditorium. Tied up on the pier is also the 2 charter boats. The Gulf tide and Gulf wind, I think. Lots of work, pretty good jobs and it was a great place for the average person to be, Also look at the rail cars, but that was before people bitched about the trains.
Now Look how they "Improved it." They filled in the damn water front to make a parking lot. Now the area is full of Wine shops, office buildings and parking lota, not ot mention a place for people to show case their yachts. To some it maybe much better but not for the majority of the citizens.
