The place was hopping when I walked a bit downtown. The new food RVs across from the Bodacious Olive were packed as was the Bodacious Olive and the coffee house north of it. Could not find a parking place with all the workers completing the Studer Building at Maritime Park, and with the ball team out of town, I was shocked by the number of people lining up to get frozen Yogurt. I saw workers everywhere building out and improving. The Pensacola bank location had workers everywhere. If people cannot see what a multiplier the Park has become, they are blind to the reality of downtown. The fish house at noon was packed and license plates from all over the country. PB was crowded and economically the place was hopping. I ate oyster and swam in the Gulf because the cortex will not beat the tumor to my demise, so what the hell..........what fun. If I was healthy and did not need to be near Northwestern, I would be looking for a place downtown......Pensacola rocks.

Escambia Issues Air Quality Health Alert For Wedgewood Area
July 22, 2014
Effective immediately, in response to air quality monitoring, the Florida Department of Health in Escambia County (FDOH-Escambia) is issuing a health alert for the area surrounding the Wedgewood Community Center and the Rolling Hills Construction and Demolition Landfill in Escambia County.
Air quality monitoring has been performed by Escambia County at the Wedgewood Community Center (6405 Wagner Road, Pensacola). This center is adjacent to the Rolling Hills Construction and Demolition Landfill located at 6990 Rolling Hills Road, Pensacola. The monitoring has revealed elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide in the air at a minimum level of concern for long term exposure to humans. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas which often has an odor similar to rotten eggs, but which may have no detectable smell when present in low concentrations. However, even low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide gas can have negative health effects.
Exposure to hydrogen sulfide may cause respiratory symptoms such as eye, nose, and throat irritation in some individuals. People experiencing respiratory symptoms should consult their physician for treatment and should stay inside their homes.  According to FDOH-Escambia’s Director, Dr. John Lanza, “While inside, people should close their windows, run their cooling/heating system, and change their system’s filter, as needed. If symptoms persist while inside an air conditioned home, people may choose to leave the area until their symptoms are tolerable.”
Persons who have questions about health problems or symptoms they may be experiencing related to hydrogen sulfide exposure should contact their primary care physician. Those who have asthma or other chronic lung disease should follow their disease management plan, and should call their doctor if symptoms worsen. For medical emergencies, call 911 or go immediately to the nearest emergency facility.
The Florida Department of Health in Escambia County will continue to evaluate air quality monitoring results, as reported by Escambia County. Any further recommendations and alerts will be released as more information becomes available.

Climate change has consequences. Downtown however is growing by leaps and bounds, and what struck me was the amount of private contractors, sub contractors, and work trucks. Fixing all the roads will also generate more jobs and more economic activity. The roads in some parts of Santa Rosa and Escambia should never have gotten out of the planning stage. In low areas there is third world construction techniques. It is a wonder that the entire areas did not lose the road systems. I still have dirt roads on Garcon Point.....but one person's bad news is another's good news as the bayou were opened for bigger boats.

Care to comment on the Wedgewood health issues?

I can tell you that an area of Garcon Point where my neighbors have all developed lung problems. A husband and wife across the street are struggling with their lungs, I had my left lung removed with a tumor, the neighbor two doors down has lung problems.......our whole street has health related lung issues.......I think the health issues on air quality are a lot more widespread than Wedgewood. The one neighbor is talking about talking to health authorities about a possible cluster. All those good old days spewing out toxins........there is a human price.

Because I was right and the naysayers who told me that the ballpark would fail were wrong. The downtown is vibrant and it will be important in providing jobs into the future. People from all over the country are discovering Pensacola. The good old days you want to return to were responsible for a lot of pollution and degradation of the environment. I grew up around factories and American production, and it pains me to see so much industry gone.....but just yesterday in China 200 people died in a dust fire where safety measures to protect the workers were not followed. GM has a wheel polishing unit in China, and I would like to get those jobs back to America, but it is going to take thirty years and good tax policy to solve some of these structural problems, and those problems have nothing to do with good decisions on Maritime Park. It was a home run where the jobs are spewing all over the place......I could not find a parking place with all the construction work trucks.....those are not waiter or bartender jobs.......if I do well over the next few months I am going to spend a couple weeks in my old neighborhood, and enjoy downtown.......it is working.
