Live in Milton FL, close enough to get the good vibes, good food and THE beach at Pensacola. Then Navarre, Gulf Breeze etc. and escape to quiet of a suburban life.
We just got back from our vacation there, it a great place!! We will be back! Great video Jack!!!
Great video, Jack. I live in Houston (native) and really like Gulf Coast culture. Pensacola is an outstanding place. My wife and I love it.
Just happened to run across your channel. I'm from pcola but been in Atl for 35 yrs. I'm 60 yrs old now. My family home is in from of wall south. Haven't been in the city in about 7 years since my mother and sister passed. Headed that way I'm December this year. My sisters from New York retired now and moving back in Oct.Fort Pickens Joe patties all my favorite. Got to make it downtown. Love the channel. Remembering my growing up years. The town is small but growing. 😊 Thanks
Yak Motley. Love your channel. My stepbrother’s biological father lived in Pensacola, so I visited 3 summers in a row during the ages of 16 to 18. This was back in 1984 to 86. Back when Van Hagar was just getting started. Back then it was fantastic. We would go to the beach at Holiday Inn all day and fry. We did bay fishing with my brother’s father all day on the weekends. Of course we met some sweet young ladies too. I was in Pensacola for the opening of Top Gun, the original film and most of the people in the theatre were in the Navy, so you can imagine how they reacted to the opening scene. I have great memories of Pensacola. Nowadays I’m more of a Seaside type of guy.
Great walk and talk Jack...truly a beautiful place to raise a family and we natives love the small town feel. Awesome job sharing your thoughts..your well spoken maybe a run for Mayor in your future😁👍🇺🇸. As always great to see your little family. Have to a blessed week.
Born and raised in Pensacola and I dont see our small town as a con, I didnt stay here for it to become like los angeles, which it is quickly becoming. Those that talk to themselves, are addicted to drugs and are without homes are destroying this city, worse than a damn hurricane. Shoulda shown everyone all the tents downtown, the folks sleeping at the library, on the main streets downtown, the fantastic smell of pee. The trash everywhere. Give em the real glimpse.
I really like you Pensacola blogs. My wife and my little boy and I love it down there. We are planning to move down there when I retire in a few years.
THanks!
Good Vlog Yak! Love it there.
I live here in Pensacola. I would say it's a great place to visit if you just like water and beaches but living here not so much. They put no money into the roads, alot of homes are still on septic systems. And we have had 4 boil water episodes this yr alone. The schools are very very old and outdated. I simple fresh coat of paint and mowing around town and tearing down that old out dated disgusting Civic center and abandoned glass high-rise hotel next to it, Would help. If you just cleaned up the obvious visible things around this city, it'd be a lot nicer. Set the t
Dude….was just at the Far East end of Perdido Key a couple of weeks ago! Loved it! Sucked we could not go to the Naval Museum! Johnson was cool to watch the Blue Angels practice!
Always good to hear your thoughtful and logical analysis. I don't care about bullish or bearish market. Trade a small percentage of your portfolio rather than going in and out every couple weeks trying to time the market trading went smooth for me as I was able to raise over 8.4 BTC when I started at 3 BTC in just few weeks implementing Richard daily signals and tips..

Hey - I've been hearing about Richard for a long time now. Started during the pandemic and I've heard of how accurate his signals is.. I really do appreciate hearing your advice and feel that it is genuine
Pumps or dumbs, I still earn around 0.5btc every week with his strategy. I recommend him If you’re holder like me.
LOL I have no idea how you got suggested to me by UA-cam. But great job you really highlighted Pensacola pretty well I'm your neighbor just to the east I live in Milton. I think you really nailed it we live in an absolutely beautiful place surrounded by beaches why do we need to go anywhere else..
I live in Baldwin County. We spent half of our time in Pensacola….and love it. Hope to run into you someday!!!
My idea and your idea of a "small town" differ greatly! My town consist of the 186 nicest folk you could ever find. While enjoying your videos, I do notice the crowds and the traffic. For me it looks like a great place to visit(off-season), but wouldn't want to live there. But I have to give it to you... the food always looks amazing!
Great and area to visit, living here is another thing. Leaving area early 23, will visit regularly.
Love P'cola 💙 Thanks for giving our area a shout out (OBA) 💙🏝💙
We just moved to Pensacola, from Las Vegas, NV., for a slower pace of life. There are definitely some good things about Pensacola, but it is definitely slower and much older than what I'm used to. While the food is very good, it's been difficult to find good service, like we experienced in Vegas. I'd say it's a good place to go on vacation with the beaches and different activities. Moving here has been quite an adjustment, but I'm not sure this will he my forever home.
Byeee... 👎
I lived in Pensacola back in 03 to 04 and again in 2018 to 2019 really love the place, been living in Tucson AZ right now but looking to finally retire in March of this year and make Pensacola my permanent home. My only con is the hurricanes just missed Ivan and Dennis back in 04 and missed Michael as it went towards Panama city instead and moved out before Sally hit. That is my only worry about living in Pensacola. As for "tourist town", I also lived and worked in Destin now that is a tourist town, it would take me an hour to drive the 12 miles home from work a lot of times. I know it's crowded in the summer time getting into Pensacola Beach, but there is always Perdido Key which I love too.
First! Go YAK, we love ya brother
Thanks so much for this video, Hopefully one day pretty soon I get to move my family down there. We live in Kentucky!
Hey Yak!👋🏾 I really enjoy watching your videos. I don’t know how I came across you but I’m glad I found you. I love Pensacola and wanted to know more about it. I even been following this page on Facebook called Pensacola Florida locals and visitors which I’ve been a member of that page since 2019 and I Love that page so much I consider everyone on that page my extended family❤️ I call Pensacola my second home. I would love to live there but Hurricane’s is what’s keeping me from living there🥲 You said you lived in Pensacola all your life..how do you manage surviving all those hurricane’s that came through??? I’m learning alot on your videos. Maybe one day while We’re in town we’ll get a chance to meet you and your family in person. Thank you for sharing and giving valuable information to us here on UA-cam. It’s very appreciated.👍🏾😎✌️
Pretty cool vlog Yak👍🏽😀🇺🇸🏖!
We go to Pcola Beach every year. Love it.❤️
My second home ,love this place
Pensacola native..and I love it..
Thanks for the information! Mississippi
I live in PCB and I go to Pensacola for work sometimes hoping to meet you one day I’ve been to Jackson’s one time it was very good and cool ppl working there I even dressed casual and they didn’t care
Love your channel Yak. When are you going to do a video of the pros & cons of living in Cantonment😆.
Thanks!
You totally helped me decide I want to move to Pensacola!! I love your easy going honesty in this video! Totally different from other videos! Your love of the area comes through!
Can you help me in the relocation process? Thank you!
Awesome. Sure shoot me an email at jack.motley@adoorrealestate.com.
No more kayak fishing for the married man. Jack is neutered lol
Nice video dude ✌️
The traffic is nuts. Wonderful people crappie trafic.
I loooove living down here!!
Visiting the Navarre/Pensacola area this weekend. Research for pending retirement destination.
navarre is way safer and more family oriented then Pensacola.
Should do some binaural audio walkarounds like The Sound Traveler in P'cola downtown sometimes when it's an experience.
I know alot of the places you are visiting my grandparents live in Pensacola been there off and on all my life
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
McGuire's is my favorite restaurant down there.
I LOVE PENSACOLA... BEST MOVE I MADE...
I’m from Pensacola! Moved away over 20 years ago. I didn’t appreciate it then! Graduated from Tate. Still have a small house there. I would say a pro to living there is the education that’s available. Due to Florida’s freedom of choice law, as long as you can provide your own transportation, kids can go to school anywhere in the county. Live in Cantonment, but want to participate in the IB program at Pensacola High? No problem! Live in Bellview, but want to go to the Ag high school (Tate), you can go! There is the Pensacola State College (was PJC in my day), UWF, PCC (Pensacola Christian College - Famous for their much lauded Abeka program! Several hospitals, salt water & freshwater activities.
Tate is the only half decent public HS in Escambia, in reality that's a con for us that no one talks about.
Good video. How about living on a boat out there?
Great thumbnail, by the way!
Glad you think so!
Pros- beach and Naval Air museum
Con - nothing to do during winter time. Church, bank, and gas station on most corners.
Do a McGuires review!
I'm moving from Panama City to the general area of Pensacola. How about info on renting on the outskirts of Pensacola to Orange Beach? The better school systems, quieter areas as it will be my daughter in law, grandson and myself. BTW, this was very informative.
Interesting & fun video. Would be nice if you didn’t say “you know” about a thousand times. But, I did love it.
You should do a video of all the great places to eat..
I have done quite a few of those. Check them out on my channel.
YO I LIVE IN GULF BREEZE!!!!! I go to the gulf breeze high school!! I'm a freshie..... lol I might run into u sometime in Pensacola sometime lol or gulf breeze....
Hey man, would you have a recommendation for a charter fishing trip from PCB or Pensacola area?
I didn’t know you was from Pcola Thought you came after the military. I’m in Tn now but I used to have several friends that lived in Navy Point. Sad to say hurricane Ivan wiped their houses of the map. I think the road was Bobaliptis or something like that.
Pensacola should pay you to be their ambassador
Enjoyed the video, what is the status of the Baby Barge?
How are the neighborhoods? I'd love to be on the beach but what I do for a living I need more space so will need a home with more space. Price per square ft is very high on the beach.
My son and i went to Pensacola twice a year for 10 years,haven't been there in 12 years,i miss it,atlanta sucks
Hey Jack
Is Matt Gaetz a pro or a con?
Love fishing and diving in Pensacola. Flounders is always a good time.
Trader Jon's was my life for many years ...
Wanting to book a vac Sept.21 but worry about a possible hurricane your thoughts?
I'm curious as to how he was able to edit all of the homeless people that are on almost every corner downtown?
My pro list is that it’s only 13hrs from Chicago and I can drive there in a day.
Would u suggest there or ft myers where u can get a good deal cause of Ian.
Pros: Beach, all of my friends, my 3 story shed that's being built, friendly people ish, food, hunting spots in Milton tho I live in gulf breeze, family, trails, fishing, etc
Cons: my boat is small, no boys have cr on me...I think, I've been bullied since kindergarten, my parakeet died yesterday from age(R.I.P... snowflake: July 26 2019 -- august 26 2022)
I'm new to Pensacola, where is that food truck paradise??
Seeing is believing. We were there 6 months ago for 2 weeks. It was a dirty old boring place (town) except for some tourist areas. My husband was stationed there 30 years ago and he said that place didn't change much but got much older and dirtier.
Seeing is believing. Drive around and you'll see.
CON: We keep attracting people who want to "NewYork" Fla, like crist. 😖😤 Other than them, I LOVE FLORIDA! (born and raised) ❤️😊🇺🇲
Move from Colorado to Pensacola 4 years ago have to say downtown Pensacola is alright if you like bar hopping and some of the expensive restaurants yes there is some good food trucks downtown Pensacola but like the other person said if you like watching people on drugs and smelling pee then yes downtown Pensacola is totally a place to go...Downtown Pensacola is kind of small but I wouldn't compare it to a small town. Cause people in small towns are very nicer and things are way more clean than they are downtown Pensacola.
What part of Colorado did you come from? And do you regret the move?
I think you forgot to mention that you had to wait for several weeks to film this video because it's always raining
Moved here from Brooklyn NY. I was robbed and shot in the neck downtown Pensacola at a gas station randomly by some kids.
Bro, Pensacola is more like a small city, not a small town. A small city with small town charm (except for the homeless).
What's the best month of year to visit in your opinion?
We go every year in April! Warm enough for beach days, but not a lot of tourists.
It's flooding there ,?? 🤠🇦🇺
Just stumbled upon your channel. I live in Memphis TN and will eventually relocate to the area. I know we love PK and looking around that area but rarely get into Pensacola. Great information and isnt there a Hub Staceys on canal close to PK ?
There is a Hub Stacey’s out in the Key!
Fort Pickens…. But you forgot the homeless people
Did you make another Channel for "around Pensacola"?
no.
I'm curious about the crime rate? One of your last videos touched on it.
its bad and the talk to yourself, drug addict without homes community is making it worse.
I live in Navy Point. Gunshots are heard almost every night. My wife and I have discussed moving to a safer place.
@@johncaro2485 That's a damn shame, Navy Point used to be such a fantastic neighborhood; used to live on Flannan. I'm over off Scenic and Creighton, heard 3 gun shots earlier while sitting at Gull Point.
🤓👌👍🖖✌😎
I would say Pensacola is prob the least desirable city on the whole Fla Panhandle. From Apalachicola all the way to Orange Beach Ala there are many more places more interesting than P’cola. I guess if you live there you are much more prejudice thinking its great. But to me its the least desirable place. Destin Panama City Ft Walton Port St Joe Apalachicola Carrabel etc… is much better😎
Panama City....yeah right
@@Trtevoorryu yes you are right. Redneck Riviera is better than p’cola. 🤔
How bad is the crime?
Pretty bad.
It's getting worse every year as well as the homeless drug addicts that plague my hometown.
I am 59 and lived been here alot longer than you. It isn't what it was. It's time to move. The fact your a real estate agent automatically tells me your going to talk Pensacola up. The crime has risen, the rent is astronomical, and there aren't even any rentals to find here! The beach is such a small bonus. FWB and Destin has more of that. I want to hear from a 70 yr old not a young real estate agent who makes money selling houses here.
Just moved away due to crime, homeless that aren't homeless harassing you for money not food, horrible politics, gang ridden schools, and all the stuff you showed isn't for locals...it's for vacationers...who have slowly ruined it hat sweet town.
It depends on where you live. Like any city there are great places which are safe and there are places like the west side where you want to stay away. Pensacola is no different.
Pensacola Is My Birthplace And Where Most Of My Family Still Resides They Have Upgraded A Lot!......But Not Seeing To Much Diversity In Your Clip Down Town I Have Lived In My Hometown When I Was Young But Raised Up North And I Remember The Old Pensacola When The Auditorium Used To Be Down At The End Of The Main St. Palafox If I REMEMBER Correctly. But Yes It's Beautiful ... And It Was Beautiful Way Back When...... But I'd Like To See More Diversity Of The People Down Town...
We don't need "diversity" - it's a weakness, not a strength. Look at the most diverse places in the U.S. California, once the golden state is now a mess with major crime, drug use, welfare, violence. Same with NYC, a multi-cultural cesspool of violent crime. Diversity has destroyed every large Democrat run city in this nation. Pensacola does not need what comes with diversity.
I agree, not a lot of diversity unless you consider the military families. I'm from Nashville, TN and live here now and I can basically say it's just an extension of that, except Nashville has really grown diverse over the past 20 years. A pro is I like the small time feel and slower pace of life and going to the beach whenever I want.
Pensacola sucks now over priced pay sucks and your only showing downtown all tourists areas show Brownsville, ensly, mobile hwy, you ain't showing the real Pensacola fl don't go here come on vacation
It’s simple…. California has the worst governor in the country and Florida has the best by far! But…. Our weather is better. Yes I live in Cali 🥴. Can we trade governors? If so, I’ll stay… 😆
It’s SO ANNOYING HOW YOU KEEP LOOKING AT YOURSELF IN THE CAMERA!!!!!
I’m sure you’re not, but you look SO VAIN, when you look at YOURSELF instead of the “ground zero” of the spot where the camera actually records. It’s the spot where the camera lens is…
My pro list is that it’s only 13hrs from Chicago and I can drive there in a day.
