    You forgot a big one that is in our front yard on Hwy 97. Of course we are not counted in Escambia County because even our County Commissioners do not know we exist. This is DAVISVILLE in case you people do not know where it is, it is one of the largest road projects in THECOUNTY and they are doing a fantastic job in front of our house.
