Jones Swamp
The PNJ caught up with my reporting on the effort to evict homeless families from Jones Swamp. The area has been used for years as a place where families could camp while children attended school and parents worked. Missing from the article are any recommendations or help from Opening Door, which runs the Continuum of Care that is responsible for reducing homelessness.
More on Downtown Shooting
The buzz I’m hearing is the victim of Sunday morning’s shooting on South Palafox was also homeless. I hope to get more details from Mayor Reeves either during his radio interview this morning or at his 10 a.m. presser.
PNJ Food List of the Week
The once-daily publishes a list of restaurants weekly – first in print mid-week and then online heading into the weekend. The lists focus on a menu item. Last week it was sandwiches, and this week it’s mullet.
Our favorite, Chet’s Seafood, made the mullet list, of course. Other PNJ recommendations:
- The Dog House
- Capt. Joey Patti’s Seafood (PNJ mistakenly lists as Joe, not Joey. A rookie mistake)
- Olde East Hill Grille
- The Fishing Hole
- Jerry’s Drive-In
- The Point Restaurant
- Shannon’s Seafood Kitchen
- Cafe NOLA (Pensacola Beach)
