In 2003, we asked local politicians and celebrities to submit their answers to “You are so Pensacola if…”
T. Bubba Bechtol – the late stand-up comedian and the sergeant-at-arms for the Irish Politicians’ Club, came up with some of the best:
…if your child thinks “crooked politicians” is one word.
…if you believe everything you read in the Pensacola News Journal.
…if your baby’s first name is “Mardi Gras.”
Our staff suggested:
…if you believe gun control, Trillium plans, taxes, and charter government are all U.N. conspiracies.
…if your big break career-wise finally came when you got elected.
…if PTA meetings double as family reunions.
ROUND TWO
Name six bars and night spots that no longer exist. Two must be in the Belmont-Devilliers neighborhood and none on Palafox.
Submit answers in the comments.
- ROUND THREE goes live at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. This will get more difficult.
