When I first met my wife’s parents, they could not believe DeFuniak Springs was in the same central time zone as Oklahoma where they lived.
They also were under the impression that Santa Fe, New Mexico was the oldest city in the U.S. I had to show them in their encyclopedia that St. Augustine was older. Actually Pensacola has a fair claim to being older than St. Augustine. It was definitely settled earlier but no one knows what happened to those original settlers.
We used to go into Pensacola several times during the week's span of time we were there. And we always made a trip to the Naval Air Station down the road to watch the Blue Angels practice their routines.
