What it costs to retire around the world…

Constructed in the late 1800s, the historic building that originally housed the Pensacola Cigar and To***co Company harbors a deeply layered and chilling history. Long before it became a bustling nightlife destination, the upper floors were tied to Pensacola’s thriving seaport era, even operating as a secluded brothel. Today, locals and paranormal investigators frequently report hearing the phantom laughter of children echoing through the dark halls, with some spotting ghost children playing with a red ball near the upstairs restrooms.
​However, the most famous phantom wandering these haunted brick walls is a much more recent spirit. In 1990, a twenty-seven-year-old beloved doorman and bartender named Wesley Gibbs tragically suffered a fatal heart attack while cooling off inside the building's b**r cooler. Known in life as a jovial prankster, his spirit remains mischievously active. Staff frequently report seeing his tall, slender silhouette or a smoky entity lurking in the shadowy corners late at night.
​The aging cigar factory found new life when it was transformed into Rosie O’Grady’s in the 1960s, which ultimately expanded into the legendary Seville Quarter. It is now a sprawling complex where Pensacola's past spirits still linger alongside the living, making it the perfect spooky spot to visit this Halloween.

Most people woke up on November 1st, 1905, to a very different downtown Pensacola.

Late the night before—on Halloween—a massive fire swept through the west side of Palafox Street (between Garden and Romana Streets), turning historic wooden-frame storefronts into ash. While it was a devastating blow at the time, it forced the city to rebuild with sturdier brick and masonry—giving Palafox much of the iconic historic architecture we love walking past today. This photo shows the Northwest corner of Palafox and Garden streets.

History doesn't always start with a quiet date on a calendar; sometimes it starts with the smell of smoke on November 1st. 🔥🏢

First Alert: Time to change the direction of your ceiling fans for the season! Now that Fall weather has settled in and there's a chill in the air, you might want to switch your ceiling fans to clockwise. This will push warmer air trapped near the ceiling back down to make you a little more comfortable. Keep the speed low so you get the mixing effect but not as much of the breeze.

I actually just did this on our home ceiling fans today, but I've held off on turning on the furnace! For now.

Oh s**t!!

Crazy !! I can’t stand imagine how hard to fight a fire in that remote of an area!

I was here when I was 17 …

My first big travel adventure, basically when I got bit by the “travel bug”.
I started in Berchtesgaden in Bavaria region of Germany.
