Do other cities such as Biloxi, Mobile Alabama, Fort Walton Beach have the same problem? People that have nothing to do with the area criticize us who live here in Pensacola. If we speak about a local issue we are bombarded with comments about our character, motivation even our mental status. If that is not enough, we are brought to task for lack of community involvement and seemly inability to observe local issues. We are told we are "Old Guard", People who hate the thought of any thing new. People who fail to dream and envision a better future for them selves. We must listen to those who have just arrived, for the their vision is the only one that matters. With out the comments and help from others our business, would flounder and fall into disarray as we stand mired in our own short comings. Successful local business owned by Pensacolians such as Joe Patti Sea food(14 million+ in yearly sales, 9 years ago) Bell steel(20 million+) both within a stones throw of the CMPA, are over looked, not even worthy of a comment.
