This is far from being done, but Rome wasn't built in a day.
I'm starting with Pensacola. This is far from being done. But, please look over the format, and let me know what we can provide that will make your visit to the Panhandle more fruitful.
I'll eventually update and provide information of Fort Walton Beach and Panama City/Panama City Beach, and/or whatever you find to be useful.

You may want to be discrete as well, so all eyes that shouldn't see SPECIFICS do not see. Does us all no good if safe places like hotels are revealed to just ANYONE that can log on here and view things. Just my opinion.

I’ve pm’d a mod to remove the hotels listed on the first post.
I’ll only list airports, hospitals, stores, restaurants, etc publicly.
I’ll make a special list for providers only that will have things like hotels, banks and ATMs.
I will only share the interactive Google Map with providers only.

Historical Pensacola
Preface by Blackbird_Nevermore: Pensacola is the oldest settlement in North America, being founded in 1559 by the De Luna Expedition. However, a year later, the settlement was wiped out by a hurricane.
Pensacola is a very strategic. It's on a peninsula and a deep water port. The Spanish used it as a naval base. A resting location for Spanish galleons transporting gold from South America to Spain.
Being on a strategic peninsula, Pensacola has flown five flags. The Spanish, French, British, Confederates and Americans have all occupied it.
Pensacola and Spanish Florida were ceded to the United States in 1820. Seminole Indians would cross over to Alabama and Georgia and slaughter American civilians. General Andrew Jackson, the hero of the Battle of New Orleans and the future 7th President of the United States, invaded Spanish Florida.
He defeated the Seminoles, and then marched into Pensacola. The Spanish garrison was in Mexico putting down a revolt. General Jackson placed the Spanish governor in jail, and his forces occupied Spanish Florida.
Basically, we had an international incident where General Jackson loosely interpreted President James Monroe's instructions and invaded another country. The Secretary of State John Quincy Adams brokered a deal to occupy Florida in assuming $5 million dollars of claims against the Spanish government.
Facts
Historic Pensacola encompasses 8 1/2 acres and 28 properties, 11 of which are open to the public. As you experience our site, you'll see examples of a range of architectural styles including Mediterranean Revival, Renaissance Revival, Greek Revival, Classical Revival, French Creole, and Folk Victorian.
In addition to architectural style, you will also see these properties interpreted in a variety of time periods, such as Colonial, Victorian and World War II, through furnishings and other artifacts from our collection of more than 150,000 artifacts of historical and antiquarian interest to the City of Pensacola, Escambia County and West Florida. You will also get to interact with our living history interpreters who bring history to life.

Trader Jon's
Martin "Trader Jon" Weissman, owner and namesake of Trader Jon's Bar, was well known for his personal eccentricities such as his famously mismatched socks and "Tradernomics" as well as his eclectic establishment. One of Pensacola's top tourist destinations for decades, Trader Jon's, decorated with photos and memorabilia, some traded for drinks, was a safe haven where young flight students, military personnel, astronauts and movie stars rubbed shoulders with local politicians, characters and the occasional ne'er-do-well. Trained as a U. S. paratrooper in WWII, Trader's lifelong love of naval aviation and his livelihood were inseparable. There was truly nothing like it on Earth! Step inside and experience the legend that was Trader Jon's.

13. Manuel Barrios Cottage
212 Church St, Pensacola, FL 32502
850-595-5985
Description: The Dorr house was built by Clara Barkley Dorr in 1871 during a time of economic prosperity in Pensacola. This prosperity was partly the result of a thriving lumbering industry. Currently interpreted as a Victorian era family home in Pensacola after the Civil War, the home is an example of Greek Revival architecture in west Florida. The house is included in the guided tour of Historic Pensacola.
The Dorr House is located on its original site and demonstrates Greek or Classical Revival features, a style out-of-date in other parts of the country by the 1870s. This is curious because by this time, builders were adopting Gothic Revival and Victorian styles. Classical Revival styles peaked decades earlier. The house also represents some of the area’s natural resources and industries, namely yellow pine lumber and bricks.It is the best preserved example of post Civil War Classical Revival architecture in the Pensacola Historic District.

It is the only surviving form of this urban Creole architecture in Pensacola. The cottage, included in theself-guided tour, represents the cottage of a working class African-American family during the era of Reconstruction.

Preface by Blackbird_Nevermore: Pensacola is the oldest settlement in North America, being founded in 1559 by the De Luna Expedition. However, a year later, the settlement was wiped out by a hurricane.
Pensacola is a very strategic. It's on a peninsula and a deep water port. The Spanish used it as a naval base. A resting location for Spanish galleons transporting gold from South America to Spain.
Being on a strategic peninsula, Pensacola has flown five flags. The Spanish, French, British, Confederates and Americans have all occupied it.
Pensacola and Spanish Florida were ceded to the United States in 1820. Seminole Indians would cross over to Alabama and Georgia and slaughter American civilians. General Andrew Jackson, the hero of the Battle of New Orleans and the future 7th President of the United States, invaded Spanish Florida.
He defeated the Seminoles, and then marched into Pensacola. The Spanish garrison was in Mexico putting down a revolt. General Jackson placed the Spanish governor in jail, and his forces occupied Spanish Florida.
Basically, we had an international incident where General Jackson loosely interpreted President James Monroe's instructions and invaded another country. The Secretary of State John Quincy Adams brokered a deal to occupy Florida in assuming $5 million dollars of claims against the Spanish government.
