Ladies--The next time your husband says, "I need to run to the hardware store," say, "Great! I'm coming too," that should stop him in his tracks.

Local Business Spot Light....Pensacola Hardware

The question here is, where do we start? How about 1851...The start of something great. 

This Pensacola treasure tucked in downtown is, I must say, amazing. As you enter you find immediate, knowledgable, friendly service coupled with a HUGE array of products for both him and her.   As I went through the store I was drawn in by each new section featuring great selections at every turn.  Hold on for the ride while we tell ya what they have...
    Ladies first... They have got counter top appliances, kitchen gadgets, cookware, bake ware, glassware, pot and dish racks, cooking utensils, cutting boards, tabletop, knives, barware, thermometers and scales, salt, pepper and spice mills, kitchen linens, kitchen decor, gourmet foods, pressure cookers/canning, books, home and gift items, lampe berger, fireplace, bath and body, lawn and garden, grills and accessories, paint, holiday, seasonal, pet items, Pensacola items, wedding and gift registry, Nina Fritz... whew, that is a mouthful! Yet that is just the topping, it gets better! They carry Kitchen Aid, Le Creuset, All-Clad, J.K. Adams, Totally Bamboo, Burt's Bees... Need I go on? Ladies, this is a shopping experience you don't want to miss. Just think of all the shopping you can get in while your husband picks up all the necessary items for that hunny do list!

  

Speaking of the hunny do list let's get to "his" side..We have hardware items, Masonry Tools & Supplies, Builders Hardware, Concrete Products, Forming Products, Fasteners & Specialty Screws, Paint & Supplies, Safety Equipment, Power Tools & Accessories, Coatings & Waterproofing, Hand Tools, Electrical Supplies, Plumbing Supplies, Cleaning & Janitorial, Lawn & Garden, Firestop Products & Solutions, Abrasives & Sandpaper, Tape, Carpentry Tools & Supplies, HVAC & Mechanical Supplies, Decorative Concrete Products, Trench Drain, Erosion Control, Wire Rope, Chains & Cordage, Ladders, Compounds & Lubricants, Rainwear, Detectable Warning Products, Grills & Grill Accessories...  Ok, they say a picture is worth a thousand words... let's see what you think!

The purpose of this spotlight is to give you just a "taste" of Pensacola Hardware but I think you're just going to have to go have a look for yourself.  You may say, "Now Skip, hardware is not my thing"; well, I am guessing there is something here for just about anyone, so get up and go take look at a piece of good old Pensacola history.  Hey, and while you are there pick up something you need...because I KNOW you're going to find something here you need!  They are located downtown on 20 East Gregory Street.  Their number is 850-438-3186 Toll Free 877-727-0767 and if you want to get a little better look at what they do check them out on the web at http://www.pensacolahardware.com/ for the hardware side and http://www.pensacolahardware.net/ for the housewares side. 
Grace & Peace...

Local Business Spotlight.....Southern Mill and Supply

Here we are at Friday, and another great local Pensacola business spotlight...Southern Mill and Supply.  To get to this local spot, you will need to leave the downtown Pensacola's city lights in the rear view mirror and trade them in for some good old-fashioned wide open spaces.  As you pull into the parking lot, you will notice some chairs out front and a long, shady porch to greet your arrival--sit down a spell, take a load off...you're welcome here.

As you enter, you find a warm country atmosphere; and behind the counter, you'll find Lester (store owner) friendly and ready to help.  You say, "Time out, Skip.  Wait, I could run to a big box store."  Yes, yes you could, but it doesn't matter if you were talking horses, pigs, rabbits, chickens, gardening, or how hot or cold the weather is...here you'll glean knowledge.  As you circle the parking lot at the big box store, I think we can all admit knowledge is not what we are getting!  Listen, take it from me--it's worth the drive...go see Lester and stroll the isles of Southern Mill and Supply, tell them Skip Sent ya!

Local Business Spot light...Drowsy Poet

Hot...Cold...Smoooooth!  Here in Pensacola there are no lack of local "hot spots".  Today I would like to introduce to you The Drowsy Poet.  Call it a coffee shop, hang out, quick lunch stop or a breath of fresh air...go by and find out for yourself .  While there you can find a nice quiet spot with your coffee/frozen drink or maybe come by when Bill (owner) hosts a local artist to perform.  Oh and don't forget to pick up a bag of FRESH roasted coffee, yep watch them roast it right in the front of the store.  You say I don't have time for all that, well go through the drive through and enjoy an authentic Pensacola original .  Tucked just off the beaten path on 86 Brent Lane just off Hwy 29 it is on my must do in Pensacola...soon to be on yours!
