Host Rick Outzen sits down with CPA Jeff DeWeese for a fascinating look back at the contentious battle over Pensacola's Maritime Park 20 years ago.
DeWeese offers a unique insider's perspective, having worked closely with community leaders such as Admiral Jack Federman and Quint Studer, while also attending every "Save Our City" opposition meeting.
In this candid conversation, they discuss how Pensacola was a vastly different place before the park - when downtown was empty and visitors were taken to the mall or Navy Museum.
DeWeese shares stories about the grassroots door-to-door campaigns, the strategic intelligence gathering at opposition meetings, and the election night that would change Pensacola forever.
