HAPPY MONDAY!

RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY

🗓️ February 17th, 2025

An unofficial & clearly made-up holiday, RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS DAY  takes place when an act of kindness that’s given without any thought of recognition or praise and as simple as giving a person a compliment out of the blue or paying for the person behind in line.

THE DIGEST

CORDOVA MALL Adding NEW STORES in 2025! 🛍️

Word on the street says Cordova Mall is changing things up with a new national retailer marketing a healthy lifestyle, Lululemon. Four new stores to open at the mall in 2025 include:

  • Lululemon

  • Estethix

  • JD Sports

  • Kids Empire

GOOGLE Officially Changes to GULF OF AMERICA  🗺️

Gulf of Mexico America. “Pensacola, located on the Gulf of America”. Google maps accepted the change and took action by officially changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America for people using the app. The name change came in response to the President’s request.  

PENSACOLA TRAFFIC 511 🚖 🚔

HONK if you HATE TRAFFIC. Pensacola traffic…when one area of construction clears up seems another big pot hole appears in the road. Here’s an easy app to make your commute more navigable, FLORIDA 511. Be sure to click incidents, construction, closures and cameras to be in the know. 

Oh, and in case you observed the electronic signs seen along major US highway’s - the one’s with hilarious messages about car safety - they aren't sticking around. The Federal Highway Administration has given states two years to change those signs — which they say can be distracting to drivers.

“Only sparklers should be lit."

"Hocus pocus – drive with focus"

"Visiting in-laws? Slow down, get there late."
