Pensacola Pier

roofordie · 11-28-2008, 03:34 PM

well, I guess I need to recant some of the statements I have made earlier on this forum. I have had a couple of bad experiences with people at the T on the Pensacola Pier. Last weekend changed the way I view alot of those locals out there. my mother was in town visiting from Chicago and we decided to tour Pensacola on Sunday before she left. No tour would be complete without going out to the pier so thats what we did. If you were there you would have recognized us: three kids, my mom, and me with the camera, all of us looking like tourists. My mother was thrilled about being able to see the fish swimming by the pier and while we were there someone hooked one. After a 5 minute battle the fish was brought up onto the pier. it was an average bonita. My mom went to stand near it to have her picture taken and everyone near her was encouraging her to pick up the fish and pose with it. It made her day. Since she has been home she has been showing that picture to EVERYONE. Too bad we didn't have enough time to take the poles, she could have caught her own. The people out on the pier that day were kind and very polite, contrary to what I believed of them, and the guy who owned that fish was VERY generous to let her pose with it. I was shocked to say the least. Because of those out there that day, I will never again post a negative comment about the pier. Thanks guys. here is that picture........

That's great to hear. Usually the people are pretty good.

The pier is only bad when school is out and the kids are out there acting like little (Use your choice of words here)
