    Pretty sure KAG owns about everything, these days.

    There’s a Love’s at Milton, so Gemini.
    Fuel and Specialty Products Motor Carrier

    These guys service the RaceWay stations that are all over Pensacola.
    Energy Dispatch

    Florida Rock Tank Lines is considered one to avoid.

    I’m not sure who services all the Circle K’s. KAG?

    The Oar House, at the end of S Pace, has excellent food and waterside. Jaco’s Bayfront is OK. Global Grill is meh. Brother’s BBQ, on Gulf Beach Hwy, is excellent. Flora-Bama Grill is good. Felix’s Fish Camp, out on Mobile Bay, was fantastic once and not so great the next. Texas Roadhouse, in Milton, is the best I’ve experienced. The best I can do, for eats.

    I worked in West Pensacola. Casings in our parking lot were a regular thing. Just before I left, there was a double, execution-style about 150’ off the corner of our parking lot. IIRC, there were 58 holes in the car, before the driver and passenger were pulled out and finished off. Be careful, everywhere in that town.

    I didn’t know that place was such a sh!thole? I did my training there in Navy A School and when I started trucking with May Trucking I solo’s out in their Pensacola yard. It was such a small terminal that the terminal manager took me out to eat with him and bought me lunch. I liked that place…

    Anywhere west of I-110 has become the wild west. In talking to several LEO’s we did business with, they all said the number of serious cases had overwhelmed them to the point they don’t even bother with speeders, dealers, thefts, etc.

    It’s a transient and vacation/resort community that’s still within reach of the majority of the country. It’s always going to have an elevated number of troubled people. Factor in the degradation of our society, as a multiplier, and you can understand how it’s gotten to such a sad state.

    I feel fortunate to have lived on Innerarity Point. In hindsight, I probably should’ve stayed there. However, with the constant influx of northerners chasing their dreams, the cost of everything is outpacing incomes. At some point, I doubt I could’ve afforded to stay.
