pensacola fl: Pensacola Beach Renourishment - Still Happening!
- 09/13/06 09:27 AM
Our beautiful white sand beaches are looking good again. Sand-renourishment projects on Pensacola and Navarre beaches have been completed. The entire 8.2 miles of Pensacola Beach, a $14.3 million project completed in April pumped in 3.5 million cubic yards of sand. Although many residents feel that the beach owners should be paying additional monies for all the renourishment we have had to perform in the past few years, without the sand and vegetation, we would have NO BEACH.

pensacola fl: Are You Still Renting?
- 09/06/06 06:38 AM
Paying rent is like pouring money down the drain. But it's true, buying a home can be a "hair-raising" experience. It can be a roller coaster of emotions... finding the right place... securing the loan... moving in. Many home buyers do very little research before "diving in" and investing their hard-earned money.
