Downtown Pensacola is nice. My wife often comments that she could live down there. I live in the UWF area and love it. One of the big differences that I see in this area compared to GF, is how dirty it is. GF always looks so clean and maintained. Down here it seems if the medians get mowed once a year it's a miracle. And there is so much blight. especially since the hurricanes. When you live the first 20+ years of life in GF and move away, you appreciate how nice and clean it is.
