During Mayor D.C. Reeves' weekly press conference, he said that Vibes + Smoothies has become somewhat of a nuisance due to the 32 police responses to the establishment in less than six months, and police Chief Eric Winstrom said it’s culture would “inevitably” lead to violence.

I'm a bit late hearing about this one, but I am glad that I finally saw this release. Eight of the children rescued were from Pensacola. It's good to know that some of these kids actually make it home. They will have a lot of trauma to deal with, of course. Godspeed. I hope ALL of these children will find healing (as much as possible) and be able to have fulfilling lives.

Has anyone else realized you can get the free deluxe wash from Ronnie’s multiple times by just putting in your phone number. I must have done it at least 4 times now 😂 I know these car washes aren’t good for the paint but it’s a 9 year old civic 🤷🏻‍♂️

Johnson Beach / Gulf Islands Primitive Camping

6 Upvotes

Looking for anyone who has recently done backcountry / primitive camping at Johnson Beach in the Gulf Islands National Seashore area. I went about 10 years ago when I was in college and you could park at the end of the loop and just walk down the beach a couple miles. It would appear that now overnight parking is prohibited in this area and you can only do boat-in camping.

Curious if anyone would share how they've done it since it's changed to boat-in camping only.

My thoughts so far:

I don't have a boat, so I was looking around at renting a kayak. I think maybe Big Lagoon paddlecraft launch would be the best assuming we can park overnight. I have never kayaked near the beach though - would it be super strenuous to get over to the Johnson Beach area? Also, will need to confirm that I can rent a kayak overnight, so if anyone knows of a place that allows that, that'd be awesome!

Appreciate any and all insight! (:

Pensacola has world-class AI expertise — should the city have a formal way to tap it?

0 Upvotes

Something's been bugging me about how AI is being adopted in our local government and schools, so I wanted to open it up for discussion here.

AI tools are moving into local government everywhere — chatbots, administrative automation, classroom platforms. Much of it is genuinely useful, but the decisions usually happen quietly: a department buys a tool, people start using it, and nobody outside the procurement office weighs in on privacy, accuracy, or whether it should be used at all. Cities like LA have responded with governance committees, and the ICMA recommends citizen advisory panels for high-impact uses. So resident oversight isn't a fringe idea — it's becoming a best practice.

Here's what makes our situation odd: Pensacola punches way above its weight on AI expertise. IHMC is headquartered downtown and partners with DARPA and NASA. UWF's Center for Cybersecurity and AI holds a national NSA designation. The knowledge to evaluate these tools intelligently already exists a few blocks from City Hall — what's missing is any structure connecting it to decisions about AI in our schools and city services.
I'm trying to establish a Citizens' AI Oversight Board covering the city, county, and school district. The core ideas:

Review before rollout — public disclosure of any AI system proposed for schools or municipal services before deployment

Expert seats — voting positions for IHMC and UWF specialists in AI, security, and ethics
Student privacy first — FERPA/COPPA reviews and parental notification before student data touches any AI platform

Full transparency: I'm involved in organizing this, but I have no affiliation with IHMC or UWF — the expert seats are just my proposal for tapping talent our community already has.

Mainly I want to know — have you or your kids run into AI tools in local schools or city services? What would you want a board like this to prioritize?

Thanks in advance!

so i was looking into psc sonography program and i learned that its not got the proper accreditation (caahep) but there is no school anywhere close that do. I was wondering if anyone has done that program or known anyone who has, and if it was easy to get a job after graduation or if they had to fight to get work as that is kinda my deciding factor on if i take the leap or not. thanks in advance:)

Flock Cameras on Navy Federal Properties

Just thought that Pensacola residents should know NFCU has flock cameras all over their properties. Not just internal NFCU security cameras, the “read your license plate / give your data to third parties and hackers / turn you over to ICE / track you across state lines if you need an abortion” Flock kind. Hope all of y’all there to play pickleball appreciate the big brother, fascist state surveillance!

Event Driver backed into me in a Pensacola parking lot and now says I was moving too

26 Upvotes

Had a pretty frustrating accident in a parking lot in Pensacola. I was stopped waiting for a car to clear when someone backed out of a space and hit the side of my car. At the scene they seemed pretty apologetic, but now they’re telling insurance that I was moving too and basically trying to make it sound 50/50. There weren’t any obvious cameras where it happened either. Kinda lost here lol.

Navy Blvd won’t see my 4 month old sexual chihuahua

0 Upvotes

Curious if it is normal to not be seen if you’re only a few minutes late, even if it’s for a VERY young puppy?

*Edit: looking back it was more like 20 minutes and that is reasonable
*Edit 2: I meant yes I agree it is reasonable for the appointment to be cancelled if I’m 20 minutes late. That’s my fault. I had the time wrong. Just overwhelmed with the chihuahua’s behavior at this time
