@ Kate AGREED.
This “daylighting” of Washerwoman’s Creek in downtown Pensacola just so happens to run through some vacant properties owned by some of the city’s Biggest Movers and Shakers….imagine that.
Seems they stand to make some good money off the taxpayers and the BP monies.
Follow the Money…..
Terrible the way the North Escambia areas are largely ignored. An outsider may even suspect that possibly politics and money had some influences on the report and rankings.
Doesn’t Pensacola have enough flooding, why dig up a creek in the middle of North Hill, when they start taking property off of folks then you hear them squeal like the hogs they are.
