Round-up, 08.30.09

A few items I wanted to highlight today:

Airport coverage. The Sunday News Journal has two stories concerning the City-owned Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport. The first deals with the push to bring Southwest Airlines to Pensacola; the second is a profile of the airport and its expansion efforts under the leadership of interim director Melinda Crawford. Those who want to help out with the efforts to bring Southwest to Pensacola can check out the Chamber of Commerce’s web site or join the cause on Facebook.

City board openings. Pensacola City Councilman Larry B. Johnson informs constituents that there are openings on several City boards. The details and application forms are on his blog.

Sam Hall’s blog. Councilman Sam Hall explains why he doesn’t post on his blog as often as he once did.

History lesson. PNJ columnist Mark O’Brien gives us a free history lesson about downtown Pensacola’s water and flooding issues.
