Seriously. Mad props to Habitat. They are awesome. They have given back so much to the community…read moreand have helped so many people. It is just awesome. If you have a chance, you totally need to volunteer with them. I was down here for the Collegiate Challenge. Awesome experience. Seriously, how many times can one say 'awesome' in a review? The crew that we worked with was ah-maz-ing! Ed, Joanne, & Wayne gave us such valuable information and helped turn the 17 of us into skilled carpenters that can hammer nails with the best of them, put windows in a house, and lay a roof down in four days! Four days! All we started with was the cement slab. What I really like about the program that they have is the homeowners (not necessarily of the house you are building) have to complete so many 'hands on' hours before they can move in. It was pretty neat to see a couple of them right there next to us. Don't know about Habitat? Here is a little information. Habitat builds houses in partnership with low and very low income families in need of decent shelter. To keep the cost of our houses affordable, Habitat uses the labor of thousands of volunteers. Habitat's partner families pay for their homes. Partner families invest more than money, they offer their own labor - sweat equity - into building their own homes and the homes of others. Their goal: To witness to the Word of God and the love of Jesus Christ for all persons through our words and actions. To build bridges among all economic and ethnic segments of our community by establishing new relationships, a sense of community and a renewed commitment to "the common good." To welcome participation from all individuals, groups, or organizations who desire to join with Pensacola Habitat for Humanity because of their shared concern and compassion for those in need. If you have the opportunity to do so, I suggest coming down and helping out. The program is awesome! There is a reason we have been coming down for 10+ years. Just being able to give back to the community is a great feeling. I wouldn't spend Spring Break any other way.

The Artel Gallery was so much fun and even provided live music for a few hours. The place was a bit small, but it offered quality art form local artists which was a major plus. The only reason the place didn't get 5 stars was because the representatives from the AG were sitting down, texting the entire time. I would have loved to write a 5 star review about this spot from our visit last night, but I was never greeted by any employees/representatives/staff... I know I'll definitely be back and would love to change my review to 5 stars, just simply asking to be greeted.
