Although I typically don't seek out street art, I came across the famous Graffiti Bridge on my…read morefirst trip to Pensacola. This bridge has been adorned since as far back as 1935. As Picasso stated, nearly anything imaginable can become a reality here. Over the years, the bridge has hosted countless tributes, holiday celebrations, messages of encouragement, artwork, insignias, love notes, congratulations, sports themes, and various class messages. Whenever I head towards Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach, or Navarre, I eagerly look around with my camera ready to capture the latest artwork. It's important to remember, however, that while the bridge and its vicinity are typically covered in art, painting anywhere except for the bridge's exterior is illegal. Trespassing charges can be filed for being on top of the bridge or for spraying any area outside the bridge itself, such as trash cans, the road, nearby parking areas, train tracks, and so on.

We took a drive to Graffiti Bridge. From the photos I saw, it looks like it changes often. Bring a…read morelock to put on the fence!

Lackluster curb appeal with no colorful local "street art" on the sidewalk, just some postcards out front. Not a good use of a local arts storefront. You would think it would be inviting, with Bright, noticeable local art works from across the park but no. Growing up here in the City of Five Flags & around this area, The French Quarter, New Orleans area, where my grandparents lived, we are surrounded by immense beauty & natural wonders, both land & sea. The Spanish influences, Jazz, French influences, food & wine, British influences in Culture, the confederacy & American Indian historical history are all an extremely fascinating part of this area. We are so rich in our cultured history here, but unfortunately, not much local Artworks are currently available. Art represents the eye of the soul, the seat of the imagination, and the gateway to higher states of consciousness. Real Art gives us what we value, emotionally and epistemically. When it's real, truthful, it's transformative. No one buys art that doesn't speak to their heart. You either love it or hate it. And it's just bad art when you feel nothing. I am saddened by the lack of transformative arts in Pirate'cola. I left empty handed. My heart didn't find any real art, truthful art. Only artworks created based on false history, false narratives, fake ideologies, fake beliefs, fake religions, fake "beauty" all created in concepts of anti-humanism, programmed, inoculated, by artificial intelligence's mainstream media propaganda machine. As the proverb goes: "You are what you eat." You create by which you consume. Artworks created by artificial realities of consciousness, is artificial art. To be an artist, is to BELIEVE in real life. I Believe we can do better.

Where do I even begin?…read more We had our wedding at Garden & Grain this weekend and it was absolutely flawless. I have to start with the most important parts of our day which were Cara & Jadyn, our event coordinators and Nick & Jesse, our bartenders. Cara and Jadyn were literal earth-movers and magic makers. These two helped us get everything decorated and torn down with absolute ease (and we had an awful lot of decor we brought in.) By the time we moved into the ceremony, Jadyn was everywhere ensuring we started when we were ready, the guests were ready for us to enter, and just made us feel so at ease. We heard from so many guests that they didn't even realize the chairs got moved from the garden into the grainhouse between because it was so fast and flawlessly executed. These folks were so stealthy bringing 75 chairs between different spaces. Bravo. Our caterer was just arriving as we were about the walk the aisle. We had no idea the chaos that was ensuing behind the scenes that Jadyn and the team worked out as quickly as possible and without our guests even recognizing there was a delay in the start time of the food service. Obviously catering is a huge part of the day, and it would have been so stressful had we realized they were 30+ minutes behind. The execution of our wedding could not have happened flat out without these two wonderful people. We are so grateful for you both, Cara and Jadyn. You deserve all the praise in the world and are absolutely amazing event coordinators. Oh, and Jadyn, thanks for never letting us have a drink less than half full - your impeccable attention to detail is what every event coordinator should strive for. Now, the other critical aspect to a wedding is bar service. Nick and Jesse had those drinks flowing non stop all night. There was never a guest waiting in line or without a drink from before the ceremony to last moments. Our guests were complimenting all night on how amazing the bar service was. We are a family with one side from New Orleans, we know how to party and going into it with 2 bartenders for 75 people who know how to have a good time was an anxiety for us, but there was not a single mishap in the bar service and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our guests or us. Not to mention, every time I looked at Nick or Jesse, they were both smiling and so happy to be there with us - it meant a lot to feel like your vendors were a part of your wedding. The space lent itself so naturally to our ceremony and reception. It was beautiful, cozy, clean, and just 100% our vibe. Our guests also complimented all night on what a cool venue we had. If you're thinking about booking an event, particularly a wedding here, don't hesitate. There's not a dang thing I would change about Garden & Grain, Perfect Plain and the people they had assisting us and our guests throughout the event. Being able to look back and see how smoothly things ran is every Bride's dream, and without a doubt you will have the same experience that we did here. Thank you G & G/Perfect Plain/Perennial Hospitality for the amazing experience on our wedding date. You have no idea what this meant to us. It means even more to feel that you guys actually enjoyed being there with us. Pat yourselves on the back and know that you are shining examples of what a wedding venue is supposed to operate like. Cheers to you guys, thank you once again for everything!

When I asked if I could take the cart and promised to bring it back (against their policy), he said absolutely and offered to help me walk the items across the street and into the elevator. He waited in the lobby and took the cart back so I didn't have to walk it back (his words). But in that time, he was so kind, conversation was so natural, and you could tell he was a kind soul.
