So, my cousin, Melissa, got married this weekend in Pensacola, Florida. I left on Friday and drove through the night. When I got to the city, I was worn out. The reception was held at the Pensacola Museum of Commerce. What a cool place this was. As I walked around, speaking to various family members, I began to look at the exhibits. The museum is set up with various displays that showcase the history of the area. But, these displays are rooms with specific items that highlight the history of the area. The cool thing about this place was the atmosphere it gave off during the reception. It was a great place to have a party.
Even beyond the cool venue was the fact that most of the people I talked to (outside of my family) were very familiar with Greenville and the work we’ve done as community to make Greenville a sustainable, cool community. Many comments were made about how Pensacola needs to follow our lead. Kinda fun, yeah?

I completely agree that the Blown Away campaign and site is a wonderful way to sell this community. I have been impressed by it's rollout.
Although, I must say, in looking at the site, I am very disappointed. The homepage show such a lack of diversity and inclusion. There is one african american man, and its Branford Marsalis. If one of the purposes of the campaign was to sell Greenville and dispell the myths associated with the South, then I certainly think that building more of an inclusive testimonial point of view couldn't hurt.
