Inweekly celebrates 19 years

   July 2, 2018

Inweekly quietly celebrated a milestone on Sunday, July 1. Nineteen years ago we published our first edition of this newspaper. The cover story was “A Sign of Our Times?” with the subtitle, “Surf, Sand but No Suds.”

The article by Lindsey Kelly covered the debate over whether alcohol should be banned on Pensacola Beach. Kelly interviewed Santa Rosa Island Authority board member George Eckes, Dock manager Nick Zangari and restaurant owner Chan Cox. Today, the SRIA and the Escambia Board of County Commissioners are still debating the issue.

It was fun to revisit the first issue and see how much we have changed.
