I was sad to read that the Central Bark Bakery, a wonderful little unique shop, is closing in downtown Pensacola.
Every day there are stories talking about revitalizing downtown, and here we have a good example of a great specialty shop that is not going to survive.

Lincoln High School defensive end Kirkland Gainous decided to reward Mississippi State University's persistence by making an early commitment to the Bulldogs prior to the start of his senior season with the Trojans.
