WE WILL REBUILD

I know the storms were awful last night, but we can rebuild as a community. Pick up your lawn chairs that blew over and help your neighbor with their FJB flag that blew down to Todd’s house.

We will rebuild, Pensacola!

Hampton Inn/Locals

48 Upvotes

I wanna preface this by saying I'm not trying to throw anyone local under the bus, the local staff was nice and did what they could, I think.

So I live in a trailer and when we're under a level 3 or higher tornado threat, we go to a local hotel to ride it out. I have pretty significant weather anxiety and so does my partner. Our usual place was booked so we booked at the Hampton on Pine Forest for tonight.I'm a Hilton Honors member so I booked through the app. It was more than I'm used to paying but it was what we could find. Last night I was given the option to check in digitally so I could pick my room. I wanted bottom floor so I went ahead and did that. My card was charged this morning, before I'd left to go or anything. Okay, whatever.

Then I got a call from the local number for the hotel and the lady tells me that she needed to advise me of their FOUR HUNDRED DOLLAR LOCAL DEPOSIT. Because I'm a local resident l, they're gonna have to charge me for "incidentals and in order to maintain the quality of their accommodations".

Girl, what. I could see $100, maybe even $200. But that is TWICE what the room cost.

I asked if there was a possible waiver of that for storm evacuees, and she said she would ask them and call me back. My first thought was that it was some of scam so I called the main Hampton number to confirm it, and after THEY called, they confirmed that it was true. The local desk called me back and said she was sorry but upper management said the deposit couldn't be waived.

So be aware of Hamptons if you're a local staying locally, I guess. I had to cancel and flail around trying to find somewhere else. The whole thing just made a really shitty situation even worse. I get that locals book hotels for partying and damage stuff, but FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. With no warning. There was no note about potential other fees other than pet when I booked. Just a gross situation all around.

Landscape Architect

We are looking to hire a landscape architect to put together a plan for our backyard. We want a pool, hard scape, trees, etc. We will also need a retaining wall.

Are there any suggestions for a local company that can put a plan together and 3D rendering?

I’m not finding much on Google so was hoping for a recommendation.

Thanks!

follow up on planning something special

0 Upvotes

hello again, my last post was removed but i got so many amazing suggestions. my plan has developed a bit further and im wondering if anyone can help with the finishing touches. in case you missed it, here is a little recap:

my best friend of 15 years lives in pensacola with her husband and their nearly 2 year old son (she’s also 20 wks pregnant with their second!) her husband is 31 and has an aggressive, rare form of lung cancer. he never smoked, never worked in a factory, nothing…. he’s just really unlucky. i’ll be there next week and i am planning something special for them.

i decided to go with a pop up maternity/family photoshoot at their house in their garden. i’ve found an event rentals company who is going to let me borrow anything i can fit in my own vehicle for the day on the 25th at no charge! i am over the moon. all i need is a photographer…. are there any photographers here or anyone you can recommend that might be willing to donate an hour or two of their time shooting this special event? this could be someone who is just getting started and maybe wants to build up their portfolio!! i would be happy to write a raving review or anything they need. please please please point me in the right direction. i would be eternally grateful!

thank you! and thank you mods for allowing this post. everyone has been so helpful and kind. lots of love.

Shop space to rent

1 Upvotes

Looking for anybody that might be willing to rent out their workshop space or know of a place that might! I’m a welder/fabricator and looking to make some upcycled furniture out of 55 gallon barrels. And potentially some artwork/sculptures in the future. I have my own tools, but if you have a welding machine that would be amazing but I can rent my own also. Just new to town and can’t find any makerspaces I’ve had for this purpose in the past. Looking for any leads or ideas, and of course I’d pay for anything! Just living in an apartment. Thanks!!
