Pensacola - Pensacola

Pensacola je zgodovinsko mesto ob plaži na severozahodu Florida, v Združene države Amerike. Nahaja se v okrožju Escambia, najbolj zahodnem okrožju Floride, na vrhu "panhandle". Mesto je dom pomorske letalske postaje Pensacola, Narodnega muzeja pomorskega letalstva in številnih zgodovinskih okrožij, ki obkrožajo središče mesta. Območje Pensacole je s treh strani obdano z vodo, polno zgodovine, razbitin ladij, plaž in čudovitih razgledov.

Pensacole ne smemo zamenjati s sosedo, Plaža Pensacola, zajeta v ločenem članku.

Zgodovina

Pensacola ima vzdevek "Mesto petih zastav." Pravzaprav samo gospodarska zbornica Pensacola uporablja to ime, vendar je to priročen kratkoročen opis zgodovine mesta. V zadnjih 450 letih je bila Pensacola v lasti petih držav: Španije, Francije, Združenega kraljestva, ZDA in Konfederacijskih držav. V njem so živela tudi različna indijanska plemena, vendar se zdi, da jih sloganeerji nikoli ne vključujejo.

Ko Indijanci Panzacola prispeli v Pensacolo pred tisočletji, našli so starodavne borove gozdove, odebeljene z masivnimi borovci, tako velikimi, da bi potrebovali dva ali tri moške, da bi vas ovili okoli prtljažnika. Ta drevesa so zagotavljala toliko sence, da na gozdnih tleh skoraj ni bilo podrasti, potovanje po gozdu pa je bilo enostavno. Ker v borovih gozdovih ni mogoče najti veliko hrane, so plemena običajno živela v bližini vode, kjer je bilo ribolova veliko. O teh zgodnjih prebivalcih tega območja ni znanega veliko: za seboj so pustili malo artefaktov in vsa plemena, ki so živela v Pensacoli pred evropsko kolonizacijo, so izumrla.

Evropska kolonizacija se je začela z Španski: Juan Ponce de León (iz Fountain of Youth slave) je najprej opazil območje, kasneje pa je španske raziskovalce navdušil dobro zaščiten globokomorski zaliv. Priporočili so poravnavo in leta 1559 je Tristán de Luna y Arellano prispeli v zaliv in ustanovili prvo evropsko naselje v ZDA. Poimenoval ga je ... Puerto de Santa Maria. Nesrečno je propadlo. Svoje ljudi je poslal v brezvredne izvidniške misije v puščave borovih gozdov, v orkanu je izgubil vse ladje (z zalogami še vedno na krovu!) In bil tako nesposoben in ne navdihujoč, da so se njegovi moti uporili. Zahvaljujoč posredovanju katoliških misijonarjev v mestu je živel, a ko so čez nekaj mesecev prispele španske ladje, so preostali Španci naselje hitro opustili.

Španija se je vrnila šele leta 1698. Zaliv so znova odkrili pet let prej med odpravo zemljevidov. Ker je bil zaliv še vedno mamljivo pristanišče, na bližnji reki Blackwater pa je bilo veliko starih rastnih borov, ki bi bili kot nalašč za ladjedelništvo, se je Španija odločila za preselitev zaliva. Tokrat je naselje dobilo ime Bahía Santa María de Filipina. Še vedno ne Pensacola! Vendar je bilo ime "Panzacola" zapisano na raziskovalnih zemljevidih ​​za to območje in ime je začelo dobivati ​​neformalno uporabo. Naselje je bilo revno, majhno, v njem so živeli večinoma ujetniki in je utrpelo številne neuspehe.

Leta 1719 je Francija, na čelu z guvernerjem Francije Louisiana zavzel Pensacolo iz Španije na začetku vojne četverice. Pensacole skoraj ni bilo nobenega upora: Pensacolians se ni nihče potrudil povedati, da so v vojni! Zmedeno mesto je Francoze pozdravilo z odprtimi rokami in pričakovalo, da bodo ladje iz Mobile trgovale z zalogami in ne z naboji. Po prevzemu nadzora z mestom niso storili veliko. Francozi so Pensacolo požgali med umikom leta 1722, Španci pa so ponovno prevzeli nadzor nad (oplenjenim, zoglenim) mestom ...

Do leta 1763, ko Velika Britanija je Floriko od španske dobil kot koncesijo po francoski in indijski vojni / sedemletni vojni. V zameno je bilo Španiji dovoljeno obdržati Kubo, Francijo pa je v zameno za njihovo pomoč med vojno dobila tudi Louisiana. Ni slaba trgovina. Velika Britanija je bila ponosna na svoje novo mesto in so se zelo potrudile za izboljšave. Razglašena je bila za prestolnico nove kolonije britanske Zahodne Floride, zgradili pa so večino ulic v središču Pensacole, ki se uporabljajo še danes.

To obdobje britanske blaginje pa ni trajalo predolgo, ker je leta 1781 Španija ponovno zavzel Pensacolo skupaj s preostalo Florido kot zaveznico ZDA v ameriški revolucionarni vojni. Bernardo de Gálvez, general španske Louisiane, je bil ključen za zmago mesta med bitko pri Pensacoli. Ko je španski poveljnik flote izgubil ladjo in noče več pošiljati v zaliv Pensacola, je Gálvez s svojimi guvernerskimi pooblastili poveljeval eno od ladij iz Louisiane in jo osebno zaplul v pristanišče, pod stalnim topovskim strelom Britancev. Druge ladje v floti so kmalu sledile, nekoliko zamišljeno, si predstavlja. Z Florido, ki je zdaj pod španskim nadzorom, je Španija nadzorovala celotno zalivsko obalo in dele reke Mississippi, kar je povzročilo veliko nezadovoljstva med ameriškimi naseljenci na jugu. Želeli so dostop do vode in njihova vznemirjenost za morsko pristanišče je sčasoma navdihnila mladega generala po imenu Andrew Jackson.

Leta 1821 je Jacksonu četrti in zadnjič končno uspelo ujeti Pensacolo in Florido: zdaj je bila v lasti Združene države Amerike. Pogodba Adams-Onís je nakup prevzela uradno, Pensacolo in vso špansko Florido pa Američanom. To je bilo blagodejno za Mississippi in Alabamo, ki sta končno dobili dostop do morja. To ni bilo tako dobro za generala Jacksona, ki je postal guverner Floride, služba, ki jo je sovražil, in pozneje odstopil. V tem času je Pensacola postala največje mesto na Floridi in je bila eno najpomembnejših pristanišč na zalivski obali. Leta 1845 je ozemlje postalo 27. Združena država. ZDA so veliko vlagale na Florido, tu gradile utrdbe in povečale vojaško prisotnost. Zgradili so ladjedelnice, ki bodo sto let kasneje postale Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola.

Leta 1861 se je Florida od ZDA odcepila, da bi se pridružila Konfederacijske države Amerike. Štiri leta se je Florida v okviru ameriške državljanske vojne borila z jugom. V nasprotju s prvotnimi pričakovanji se ta vojna za Jug ni končala dobro. Še huje za Pensacolo je, da je Konfederacija sama uničila mestno gospodarstvo. Konfederacijski polkovnik John Beard, ki se je bal, da bodo vojaki Unije zajeli Pensacolo, je svojim ljudem ukazal, naj "uničijo vsako nogo lesa, vse žage, čolne itd.", Skupaj z vsem drugim, kar bi lahko koristilo "sovražniku". Mestno gospodarstvo si ni nikoli popolnoma opomoglo.

Pensacola se je ponovno pridružil ZDA leta 1865, kar je začelo dolgo upadanje mesta. Lesna industrija se je začela obnavljati, toda do tridesetih let prejšnjega stoletja je bilo na severozahodu Floride posekano vsako drevo, ki je ostajalo, razen majhnih, novo posajenih borovcev. Zaliv Pensacola, celoten razlog za obstoj mesta, ni mogel sprejeti sodobnih ladij, ki so zahtevale globlje vode. Mestni svet ni hotel izsušiti zaliva, da bi bila voda globlja, pristanišče pa skoraj nič. Večina pošiljanja se je preselila v Mobilni, Alabama.

Danes je vojska gonilna sila gospodarstva Pensacole. Ladjedelnice Pensacola so bile preoblikovane in leta 1913 so postale prva pomorska letališka postaja v ZDA. NAS Pensacola je dom Modrih angelov in Narodnega muzeja pomorskega letalstva. Vsi pomorski letalci so na neki točki svoje kariere usposobljeni pri NAS Pensacola. V bazi je zaposlenih več kot 23.000 ljudi.

Pogosto opisano kot imeti tri sezone in pol, Pensacola ima subtropsko podnebje s kratkimi, milimi zimami in vročimi, vlažnimi poletji. Tipične poletne razmere imajo najvišje vrednosti v 32-34 ° C (90- ° F) in najnižje v sredini 70-ih (23-24 ° C). Popoldanske ali večerne nevihte so v poletnih mesecih pogoste. Deloma zaradi obalne lege so temperature nad 37,8 ° C nad 100 ° F redke in so se nazadnje zgodile junija 2011, ko sta dva od prvih štirih dni v mesecu zabeležila najvišje vrednosti nad 100 ° F.

Pozimi pričakujte živahne, hladne, suhe dni. Povprečna najvišja vrednost januarja je 16,2 ° C, najnižja pa 6,0 ° C, čeprav se temperature zmrzovanja pojavljajo v povprečju petnajst noči na sezono. Če prihajate iz severnega podnebja, lahko zimo v Pensacoli preživite samo s puloverjem ali lahkim jopičem. Pensacolians pa parki povlečejo ven, ko doseže petdeset stopinj.

Pomlad in jesen sta tako blag čas za obisk. Temperature se običajno zadržujejo okoli šestdeset do osemdeset stopinj, manj je nevarnosti tropskih neviht, manj vlage in nevihte so manj močne. Pravi čas je tudi za sončenje, ko je sonce močno, a blago.

Ne glede na letni čas, ki ga obiščete, bi morali imeti s seboj dežnik. Pensacola je eno najbolj deževnih krajev vzhodno od Mississippija in ni sušne sezone ali mokre sezone: dež lahko udari kadar koli v letu. Mesto prejema 1.630 mm padavin na leto, poleti pa deževno obdobje. Najbolj deževen mesec je julij z 204 mm (8,02 palcev), april pa je najbolj suh z 99 mm. Pomlad in poletje imajo "kokice", pepel evfemizem za nevihte, za katere se zdi, da obstajajo zgolj zato, da vas nepričakovano namočijo, nato pa izginejo in tako spet uživate v soncu. Vedno, ko obiščete Pensacolo, imejte nekaj načrtov za dejavnosti v zaprtih prostorih, če bodo vaši načrti na prostem deževali. Obstaja veliko priljubljenih dejavnosti v zaprtih prostorih, ki vas bodo zabavale.

Junij do november je znan kot sezona orkanov. Orkani so močne tropske nevihte z visoko hitrostjo vetra, dežjem in obalnimi poplavami. Prav tako otežujejo dobro porjavelost. Čeprav je Pensacola občutljiva na orkane, jih ne zadevajo vsako leto in večina jih je precej šibkih. Po skoraj 70 letih brez neposrednega zadetka je Pensacolo na Floridi avgusta 1995 neposredno prizadel orkan Erin (kategorija 2) in septembra 2004 večji orkan Ivan (kategorija 3). Orkan Dennis je julija 2005 zrušil območje in povzročil zmerno škodo. Obiskovalci bodo običajno obveščeni, če bodo sledili medijem.

Z letalom

Mednarodno letališče Pensacola (PNS IATA) opravlja šest letalskih družb, ki zagotavljajo neposredne storitve za interkontinentalni del Houston George Bush, Houston-Hobby, Atlanta, Dallas / Ft. Vredno, Dallas-Love, Chicago O'Hare, Chicago-Midway, Charlotte, Washington National, Denver, Saint Louis, Nashville, Tampa, Orlando, Philadelphia, Miami, Kansas City in Austin.

Na letališču lahko najamete avto, naročite taksi ali uporabite avtobusni sistem Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT). Številna podjetja ponujajo storitev najema avtomobilov iz PNS in to bo vaša najboljša možnost za potovanje po mestu. Alamo, Avis, Proračun, Dollar Rent-a-Car, Hertz, in National Car Rental vsi ponujajo storitve na letališču. Poleg tega Enterprise Rent-a-Car, in Thrifty najem avtomobila imajo lokacije blizu letališke nepremičnine in nudijo brezplačen prevoz do svojih pisarn.

Taksi kabine lahko zaračunajo dodatnih 1 USD, da poberejo koga z letališča, za uporabo taksija z letališča pa je treba plačati najmanj 11 USD. Vendar je ta pristojbina nižja od večine mest v ZDA in dejansko so cene taksijev v Pensacoli med najnižjimi v državi; zaradi velike velikosti Pensacole so taksiji drag način potovanja po mestu, a učinkovit in enostaven način.

Avtobusna linija 63, ki jo izvaja ECAT, letališče obdeluje vsakih 60 minut ob delavnikih, začenši ob 6:10 in konča ob 17:10. Ob vikendih avtobusna linija 63 prispe vsaki dve uri, začne se ob 8:10 in konča ob 4:10. Cesta 63 se konča v kampusu Penacola Junior College; od tam avtobus postane pot 43, ki potuje do Univerze v Zahodni Floridi, ali pa lahko izstopite in počakate na pot 41 (Bayou Blvd, Cervantes in 12th Ave), pot 42 (centralna postaja ECAT) ali pot 58 ( do središča mesta skozi 9. avenijo, nato do NAS Pensacola in mornariške bolnišnice.)

Mobilno regionalno letališče (MOB IATA) je uro vožnje od Pensacole v Alabami. Običajno je dražje od pristanka na PNS, vendar lahko občasno prihranite nekaj sto dolarjev na letih. Običajno je vsak let, ki zahteva odhod v Atlanti, cenejši v Pensacoli; če let ne zahteva prekinitve v Atlanti, je morda ceneje pristati pri Mobileu. Na Mobileu so na letališču na voljo izposojeni avtomobili, ali pa vas avtobus Greyhound odpelje v Pensacolo za približno 20 USD. Do postaje Greyhound pridete prek mobilnega sistema javnega prevoza z uporabo dostavne poti 19, ki je povezana z avtobusno linijo 1, ki je povezana z avtobusno linijo 9, ki vas bo pripeljala do postaje Greyhound.

Z avtom

Z avtom je Pensacola približno tri ure zahodno od Tallahassee in tri ure vzhodno od New Orleans preko I-10 in tri ure južno od Montgomery preko Hwy 29 in I-65. Meddržavni 10 potuje vzhod-zahod skozi Pensacolo in je najlažji vstop v mesto. Vendar pa koridor I-10 skozi jugovzhod ZDA šteje za enega najbolj dolgočasnih odsekov ceste v državi; nič drugega kot borovci na kilometre in kilometre.

Avtocesta 90 je manjša cesta, ki vozi vzporedno z I-10 in se vije skozi številna majhna mesta. Če vas ne moti nekoliko daljša vožnja v zameno za boljšo kuliso, je avtocesta 90 morda vredna dodatnega časa vožnje. Popotniki na 90-u naj upoštevajo, da se cesta odcepi v Pensacoli; lokalno ime severnega razcepa avtoceste 90 je Nine Mile Road, in se večinoma izogiba mestu. Južna vilica se imenuje številna; Mobilna avtocesta,Ulica Cervantes, in Slikovita avtocesta. Je daljše in potuje skozi osrčje Pensacole, toda pogled na zaliv Pensacola z blefov po Scenic Highway je eno najlepših pogledov v mestu.

Avtocesta 29 je podeželska avtocesta, ki povezuje Pensacolo z interstate 65. Če potujete proti jugu Pensacole skozi Alabamo, lahko z avtocesto 29 kot bližnjico do I-65 prihranite približno dve uri.

Meddržavni 110 je 6 milj dolg meddržavni vzhod sever-jug, ki povezuje I-10 s središčem Pensacole.

Z avtobusom

Hrt ponuja prevoz do Pensacole od njihove postaje na Pensacola Boulevard, tik ob I-10. Njihova postaja je odprta sedem dni v tednu, od 5:15 do 19 ure in od 21:30 do 23:45. Pot hrtov skozi Pensacolo je vzhod-zahod in potuje po I-10. Kdor želi potovati proti severu, bo moral opraviti prevoz v Mobile, Panama City ali Tallahassee. Od postaje Greyhound je na voljo storitev mestnega avtobusa iz ECAT-a po poti 50, čeprav boste morali hoditi do avenije Pensacola in prečkati prometno ulico. Avtobus ECAT prispe proti jugu proti centralni avtobusni postaji ECAT vsakih 30 minut po uri, od 6.30 do 19.30. Ne zapeljite se do poti ECAT 50 proti severu, ki prispe dvajset minute po uri; avtobus proti severu bo času vašega potovanja dodal še eno uro.

Zemljevid Pensacole
Zemljevid Downtown Pensacola

Vožnja je daleč najboljši način za obhod okolice Pensacole. Z izjemo centra mesta je parkirišč veliko in brezplačno. V središču mesta je ulično parkirišče in nekaj parkirnih garaž, ki imajo med ponedeljkom do petka večino majhnih stroškov med delovnim dnem, od 9.00 do 17.00. Parkiranje v središču mesta je ob vikendih brezplačno, v posebnih dogodkih pa je morda malo. Potovanje skozi mesto lahko prvič zmede voznika; nekatere glavne ulice imajo več imen, najbolj razvpito je FL SR 296, ki vodi tudi do Bayou Boulevard, Brent Lane, Beverly Parkway, Michigan Avenue in Saufley Field Road! Poleg tega se številne glavne prometnice krivijo ali tečejo po nenavadnih diagonalah. Zemljevid bo prišel prav. I-110 je glavno meddržavno območje, ki poteka od severa proti jugu skozi Pensacolo in je zelo priročno vodilo za potovanje skozi mesto.

Obstajajo kolesarske steze po vsem mestu vzdolž večine glavnih cest, vendar jih ni enostavno opaziti, če jih dejansko ne uporabljajo; poiščite majhne pasove ob cesti s simbolom kolesa, narisanim na asfaltu. Downtown Pensacola je čudovito videti s kolesom, zlasti staro območje Seville in zgodovinsko okrožje.

Z avtobusom

S taksijem

Taksi prevoz v Pensacoli je lahko drag zaradi dolgega časa vožnje, ki je potreben za prevoz z enega konca mesta na drugega. Ne pričakujte, da boste našli kabino, ko boste potrebovali vožnjo, niti je ne boste pozvali; ponavadi boste morali poklicati taksista in pričakovati čakanje. Nekaj ​​taksijev se nahaja v centru Pensacole (na srečo pri iskanju) in na letališču. Cene taksi kabin so določene z mestnim odlokom in so naslednje:

Sedem čudes Pensacola

Prebivalci Pensacole se pogosto šalijo glede kičastih stavb in zanimivosti v mestu. Časopis je sestavil jezikovni seznam najbolj znanih delcev, uh, arhitekturne razkošnosti, rezultat pa je Sedem čudes Pensacole. Nobena od njih ni vredna daljšega potovanja ali postanka, vendar jih lahko vidite s ceste in jih med vožnjo morda vidite naokoli.

  • 12. predor Avenue (Sicer znan kot Objemljena drevesa) (12th Ave, južno od Fairfield Dr). Starodavni, dolgokraki živi hrasti so tu razprostirali veje nad cesto, kot listnat, soncem zasut rov. 
  • Grafitni most 17. avenije (17th Ave, severno od Bayfront Pkwy). Uradno je to železniški trestle na 17. aveniji, vendar mu vsi pravijo most grafitov; na tem kratkem razponu ni ostal niti centimeter izpostavljenega betona. Mesto je uradno označilo grafite na tej spletni strani za popolnoma zakonite, zdaj pa je most postal dovolj znan, da se pojavlja na blagu Pensacola in ima svoj okras božičnega drevesa! 
  • Kristalna ledena hiša, 2024 Davis St. (Križišče Jordan St). Ta majhna stavba je videti kot majhen grad iz izrezljanega ledu in je narejena iz belega betona in sljude, zato se iskri. Na tej obcestni stojnici so v tridesetih letih prodajali led za ledene škatle in je naveden v nacionalnem registru zgodovinskih krajev. 
  • Veseli zeleni velikan, 4301 N Davis Hwy (severno od Fairfielda Dr.). Spremlja Bailey's Farmers Market v upanju, da bo na zelenjavne stojnice privabil radovedne voznike. Leta 2004 se je zmanjšal z 32 na 25 čevljev, ko se je trg kmetov preselil v meje mesta Pensacola, in odredbe mestnih podpisov so zahtevale zmanjšanje velikosti. 
  • Južna skulptura, 2911 N Palafox St. (južno od Fairfielda Dr.). Te skulpture, v celoti narejene iz odpadnih kovin, je 30 metrov nemogoče zgrešiti med vožnjo podjetja Southern Scrap. Na njej naj bi bil prikazan gradbeni žerjav, ki spušča odpadne kovine, vendar so ga primerjali z vsem, od robotke do bruhajočega zmaja. 
  • Tempelj Hadji Shriner, 800 W Nine Mile Rd (zahodno od Pensacola Blvd). Ta majhen kongresni center, ki je v lasti Shrinersov (fesovcev z majhnimi avtomobili), je videti kot miniaturna kopija Tadž Mahala, skupaj s stolpi in zlato obarvano kupolo. 
  • Vesoljska hiša, 1304 Panferio dr (Pogled z ulice Via de Luna Dr, 3 km zahodno od Fort Pickens Rd). Nahaja se na plaži Pensacola, ta nov dom je zgrajen kot retro leteči krožnik, skupaj z nagačenimi tujci v oknih dnevne sobe. 
  • 1 Naval Air Station Pensacola, S. konec Navy Blvd, ☏ 1 850 452-3100. Naval Air Station je največji delodajalec v Pensacoli in je gonilna sila mestnega gospodarstva. Pensacola zelo spoštuje svojo vojaško oporišče, NAS Pensacola pa mu vrača uslugo tako, da javnosti ponudi zanimivosti in omogoči javni dostop. Lokacija je bila prvič zgrajena leta 1826 kot ladjedelnica mornarice in je bila izbrana zaradi globokih voda zaliva Pensacola in pomena mornariškega pristanišča v Mehiškem zalivu. Leta 1913 je bila Pensacola po izumu letala izbrana za prvo pomorsko letalsko postajo v državi in ​​še danes ostaja osnovna baza za usposabljanje vseh letalskih častnikov mornarice in mornarice. Obiskovalci baze si lahko osebno na kratko ogledajo vojaško bazo in si ogledajo številne zgodovinske znamenitosti. Ko prvič zapeljete v bazo, vas bo čuvaj vprašal, katere zanimivosti si želite ogledati, in vam izdal oznako vozila za te cilje. Večina teh znamenitosti je na ulici Radford Boulevard ali Taylor Road; če se preveč oddaljite od pretepljene poti, se pripravite na zaslišanje zelo radovednega vojaškega policista.

Muzej ima za to celo posebno razgledno površino, nato pa bodo ob sredah Modri ​​angeli podpisovali avtograme in gledalcem odgovarjali na vprašanja. Preizkusite to na letalski razstavi! Prost.

Located on the Gulf Coast, with good harbors, Pensacola has access to a wide variety of fresh morski sadeži, and many restaurants in the area proudly use fresh-caught fish and shellfish in their meals. Rdeči snapper is bountiful in the waters here, but good luck finding it; most of it is shipped to New York City, where it can fetch a higher price. Locals in the know often hit the docks when the fishing ships come in, when a small bribe can net you a beautiful snapper at bargain prices. Gulf shrimp are cheap and plentiful here, and most dining establishments have it on the menu in some form or another. Mullet fish are an oily, strong-flavored species of fish, popular only because of its dirt-cheap price. It can be bought for a dollar a pound, and is always served deep-fried, like catfish; locals often eat the tails like they eat potato chips. And although Pensacola is a little late to the raw fish party, incredible suši can be found here, made with fish caught from the docks.

Being in the southern United States, Pensacola also features many restaurants that specialize in traditional southern cooking; imeti zdrob, a ground corn porridge, for breakfast is a source of pride for many Southerners. Pecans in peanuts are grown by many farmers in the Florida panhandle, and Pensacolians put them to good use in pecan pie, pecan ice cream, roasted peanuts, and especially cajun-spiced boiled peanuts. And all this southern food is washed down with sweet iced tea; the best places boil sugar and water into a syrup, and add this to their brewed iced tea, along with oranges or lemons to make a true Southern-style sweet tea.

Proračun

Offered at convenience stores, country fairs, high school football concession stands and farmer's markets, boiled peanuts are an ubiquitous snack food in Pensacola. Usually using fresh peanuts from farms in the north part of the county, the raw nuts are boiled in salted water until soft in the middle. Both spicy and plain varieties are available, and are usually just a dollar or two for a bag. If you've never had them before, expect your first reaction to be "slimy."

Zdrob are offered anywhere breakfast is served; even the fast food chain Whataburger has them in the mornings. Expect to pay just a dollar or so for plain, buttered grits, and more if you want any fancy ingredients added, like cheese or bacon. Hominy grits, made from lye-soaked corn kernels, popular in other parts of the south, are hard to find in Pensacola.

Plates usually run $5 or less at fundraising events, but unless you have really cheap friends, it's free at fish fry parties.

Bring cash, since credit cards aren't accepted at this mom and pop place. $2-7. 
  • Krispy Kreme Donuts, E Cervantes St. Eating a fresh, hot Krispy Kreme donut proves that you're a Pensacola tourist 'in the know.' Although the donuts from this factory are no different than any other in the South, Pensacolians harbor a strange attachment to the sticky sweet pastry. When the building reopened after a three month renovation, it made front page news in the city newspaper; truly, a bastion of Southern culture. $0.50-$1.50 per donut. $2-4 for specialty coffee.

Splurge

What seems expensive to the average Pensacola eater may seem pretty cheap to out of towners. Even the best meals in town rarely top $30 a person, and seafood in Pensacola is dirt cheap compared with some parts of the country. Take advantage of this; there is incredible seafood to be found at the finer establishments in town.

  • Angus Seafood, Meats and Spirits, 1101 Scenic Hwy, ☏ 1 850 432-0539. An American Steakhouse, with a full bar and lounge, 'the Angus' has an upscale atmosphere.

This is the height of 'fancy eats' in Escambia county, with its unique take on southern seafood, beautiful views of Pensacola Bay, and high (for Pensacola) prices. The restaurant's signature dish, the 'Grits a Ya Ya,' features grits with smoked gouda cheese, applewood smoked bacon, and Gulf shrimp, but it can't top the chef's excellent key lime pie. $15-30. 
  • [prej mrtva povezava]The Global Grill, 27 S Palafox Pl, ☏ 1 850 469-9966. Tu-Sa 5PM-late, Su-M closed.

The upscale restaurant features tapas, which are small appetizers ranging from $4-20, and diners are encouraged to order multiple tapas and share with their companions; ordering an entree isn't required. The decor is its most memorable feature; both elegant and eclectic, the Global Grill has a modern, chic feel, with eye-catching hometown art on the walls and unique table settings for each table. The globally-inspired food, the communal aspect of sharing tapas, and the modern atmosphere have made the restaurant popular for couples and elegant group get-togethers.

  • McGuire's Irish Pub and Restaurant, 600 East Gregory St, ☏ 1 850 433-6789. While McGuires is one of the best Irish pubs in the country (see pub information below), the restaurant serves some of the best steaks in the region. The restaurant was named Steak House of the Year by the National Beef Council in 1998. McGuire's advertises its steaks as "Certified Angus corn-fed beef, never frozen and hand cut daily." The restaurant has won numerous Florida Trend Magazine's Golden Spoon Awards and Wine Spectator Magazine Awards of Excellence. $20-$50.

  • Joe Patti's Seafood, 524 S B St (intersection of Main St and B St), ☏ 1 850 432-3315. Su-Th 7AM-6:30PM, F Sa 7AM-7PM. This seafood market is so popular, customers are expected to take a number, and the wait can be up to a half hour! It's easy to see why; they offer fresh local seafood brought in straight from the docks, along with high-quality imported seafood, at startlingly low prices. While waiting, try an order of sushi from their sushi bar, visit Anna's Wine Shop in the back, or browse the imported foods and knick-knacks at Amangiari's Shop. 
  • Maria's Fresh Seafood, 621 E Cervantes St, ☏ 1 850 432-4999. Unlike Joe Patti's, Maria's is a quiet seafood market, without all the bells and whistles. It's a well-kept secret to Pensacola seafood restaurants; most of them buy their seafood through here. 

Pijte

One drink that's a Pensacola favorite is the Bushwacker. This frozen drink, made from Kahlua, rum, coconut, and ice cream, is more associated with Pensacola Beach, but every bar in town knows how to make it, and many have their own special versions.

International travelers, when going out to drink, bring your passport. Doormen at some bars, Seville Quarter in particular, may not recognize an international driver's license, and will call the police after confiscating it as a fake ID!

Pubs

During evenings, live entertainment and music can get rowdy. They serve handmade draft beers brewed on site, in addition to a full bar, and a few oddball house specialties. By the time you've finished their infamous Irish Wake, you'll be drunk enough to kiss the stuffed moose, and possibly even enjoy the bagpipers! You also get to keep the souvenir mason jar the drink is served in. First-time visitors are expected to pin a dollar bill to the wall with their name on it, a tradition that has resulted in over a half-million dollars papering the walls and ceiling. Sunday brunch is amazing, with giant six egg omelets, bottomless Mimosa's, and good prices. See "Events" for information on McGuire's Running Club on Tuesday nights. Dinner $12-25. $5 draft.

Everything about this poetry-themed independent cafe screams Starbucks, from the green-circle logo to the drive-thru to the frappuccino-like drinks.

  • The End of the Line Cafe, 610 Wright St, ☏ 1 850 429-0336, ✉. Tu-Sa 10AM-10PM, Su 11AM-5PM, M closed. A bohemian, vegan cafe staffed entirely by volunteers, where you can expect poetry readings up front and Tolstoy books in the back. Their coffee here is good, and made with soy by default; they offer a wide selection of vegan food, and their Sunday brunch, at $7.50, is a great deal. Make sure to tip the workers, since otherwise, they don't get paid for this! Wi-Fi available, and a small internet cafe in the corner. 
  • Starbucks. Starbucks came to Pensacola in 1997 with the Barnes and Noble Bookstore, and Pensacolians took a liking to it; there are multiple locations in the north part of the city, as well as are two serving NAS Pensacola. The store at 5040 Bayou Blvd, near Cordova Mall has live music on Saturday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30PM. 

Spi

Pensacola offers dozens of hotels, from small weathered motels to full-service resorts. Vacation rentals are also a popular option for large groups or extended stays. Since Pensacola often has a large influx of evacuees from other cities during the hurricane season, there are a large number of extended-stay hotels and suites available in the city. Outside of hurricane season, you can often find a great deal on these rooms.

If you're looking to spend a lot of time on the beach, you may want to look at hotels in Plaža Pensacola ali Ključ Perdido, which will save you a lot of driving. Also, if you are military, or have a military ID, you can stay at the Navy Lodge at NAS Pensacola. Rooms are spartan, but cheap, and the location is on a bluff overlooking the beach.

Proračun

Many major hotel chains have a presence in Pensacola, including all the usual budget suspects. Most of these budget hotels are located along I-10 on Plantation Rd at the Davis Hwy exit, and at the Pensacola Blvd exit. The attractions of Pensacola are about a twenty-minute drive from here. Unless you're on an extreme budget, avoid the cheap motels along the portion of Hwy 90 known as Mobile Hwy; this is a high-crime area, and the motels there are rundown and unsavory.

Tropical weather can be a hazard, especially during the Atlantic hurricane season from June 1 to November 30. In the event of an approaching hurricane or tropical storm, pay attention to television and radio news alerts, who will tell you what to do and what to expect. Typically when a hurricane is imminent, people staying at beaches, low-lying areas, and trailer homes will be asked to evacuate further inland. If your area is asked to evacuate, do so immediately, before traffic slows to a crawl; the most dangerous place to be in a hurricane is stuck in traffic. Hurricane-safe shelters, built inside public schools, will be opened to anyone who needs them.

Theft and crime are minor problems in Pensacola, and you'll be safe if you stick to the main tourist areas. Avoid the area of Pensacola known as Brownsville, on Highway 90 from D Street to Mobile Highway; although the sheriff's office has tried to curb crime in this area, drugs and prostitution still make it a dangerous area to linger in.

Promet in Pensacola is tame compared to large cities, but some roads have a reputation for being especially dangerous. Be careful when driving along Gulf Beach Highway; ozka cesta s kroničnimi hitrostmi in slepimi ovinki letno terja pol ducata življenj. I-110 je v težki gradnji in prehitra vožnja tukaj ni samo nevarna, zelo verjetno si boste prislužili prometno karto. I-10 skozi Pensacolo je znan kot hitra past; ne pozabite, da omejitev hitrosti pade na 60 MPH, medtem ko na območju Pensacola ne na 70 MPH, kot je v sosednjih okrožjih.

  • Plaža Pensacola leži južno od Pensacole na otoku Santa Rosa in ponuja nakupovanje na promenadi, hotele, bele peščene plaže in trdnjavo Fort Pickens. Peljite se po mostu Pensacola Bay do zaliva Gulf Breeze in zavijte desno pri velikanskem znaku mečarice Pensacola Beach. Za vstop v skupnost je treba plačati 1 USD. Med vožnjo skozi Gulf Breeze pazite na omejitev hitrosti; policija tukaj je znana po targetiranju turistov in vam bo dala vozovnico, če boste vozili celo eno miljo na uro nad dovoljeno hitrostjo.
  • Ključ Perdido je približno 15 milj zahodno od centra mesta Pensacola in je odlična točka na plaži, ki je manj zasedena kot plaža Pensacola. Dom državnega rekreacijskega območja Big Lagoon, zalivskega zaliva National Seashore, ruševine Fort Mcree in bivalnega prostora Flora-Bama.
  • Mobilni je približno 50 milj zahodno od Pensacole in je veliko mesto s francoskimi vplivi; v njihovem centru je vsak vikend kakšen festival. I-10 je najhitrejša pot, če vas ne moti pospeševanje prometa, če pa vas ne moti slikovita pot, poskusite po avtocesti 90.
  • Gulf Shores je turistično mesto na plaži v Alabami, približno 40 minut od Pensacole, z več odličnimi plažami, restavracijami in turističnimi pastmi.
  • Foley je podeželsko mesto v Alabami, značilno le po velikem nakupovalnem središču in znameniti restavraciji Lambert's south. Pojdite proti zahodu na Hwy 98, čez zaliv Perdido, dokler ne pridete do Foleyja.
  • Milton je majhno mestece, približno 10 kilometrov vzhodno od Pensacole, ki vsako leto gosti festival praskanja gležnja, ki poudarja glasbene talente, umetnost in obrt ter otroške svečanosti.
  • Adventures Unlimited je približno 12 milj severno od Miltona in ponuja vožnjo s kanuji, kajaki in cevmi po državnem gozdu Blackwater River.
  • Plaža Fort Walton je uro vožnje vzhodno od Pensacole in ima peščeno modro vodo, živahno čolnarsko skupnost in vsako leto gosti festival Billy Bowlegs, ki praznuje pirate.
