They performed live at Destin's Nightown on November 5, and opened their show with their single "Psychotherapy" from their seventh album "Subterranean Jungle", which was released in 1983. Tickets for the show sold for five dollars each. On November 7, 1984 they performed at Tipitina's in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Mike Danger)<br />

<hr />
<div>2001 Club, 2001, or '''2001 Disco''' as it was often referred to, was a popular nightclub located on the north side of the Town and Country Plaza building on Fairfield Drive. It opened in the mid-1970s to cater to the latest disco music craze. During the club's more productive years, 2001 was managed by Richard Sarli. It had a large dance floor, up-to-date lighting and effects, and two main bars. A smaller side bar called The Enterprise Room had a more intimate atmosphere, and often hosted small bands such as The Hi-Fi's, or the Instant Daddios. There were nightly drink specials, and best known was probably 'Welfare Wednesday', for the middle-of-the-week working crowd.<br />
The others were Bahama Mama (Saturday) and Super Sunday .25 Bar Drinks. <br />
<br />
2001 also hosted male dancers, (Aldo Chila Ladies Night) and fashion shows by I, Woman and II Guys Menswear. Most flower sales were managed by Magnolia Roses and Ivan's Balloon Company, who also sold logoed / themed balloons. <br />
<br />
1978 DJ was Dick Roseman and Ken. 1979-1983 DJ was Lance Kelly, who also spun Records at Big Daddy's (Cordova Mall), The Met (Mobile,AL), and Phineas Phoggs (Seville Quarter). <br />
<br />
Despite the mid-eighties waning in popularity of disco music, 2001 saw a rise in business with the closing of several live rock clubs such as Franco's, Jere's, and The Show Palace. In 1986, it was purchased by recently relocated California businessman Robert Martire, who managed the establishment until its closing in the early 1990s.<br />

<hr />
<div>The original '''Machinegun Kelly's''' was the area's most popular live rock-and-roll entertainment establishment during the mid-to-late 1970's. Originally owned by Jack Wing and later sold to Buddy Davis, it was located at 666 Scenic Highway, on the east side of the curve at Cervantes Street in East Pensacola Heights, and previously dba the Scenic Terrace. <br />
<br />
Often referred to as "The Gun" or "The Guns", the venue was probably best known for hosting a different touring band every week and for it's "Nickel Beer" Monday night specials. Their limited snack menu included foot-long hot dogs, nachos, and popcorn. Machinegun Kelly's also sold their own logoed t-shirts, and gave away logoed hurricane drinking glasses with the purchase of their famous Flaming Hurricane beverage. They also had a signature drink called the Kelly Killer, along with logoed mini-frisbees,butane cigarette lighters and matchbooks. Another plus was the spacious back terrace which provided a scenic view over Escambia Bay. <br />
<br />
The Gun(s) was in business for approximately 14 years between the late 1960's and early 1980's. Several local bands performed there including Flame and The Heaters, Lyman Slack, Slayer, Ringwraith, and Southern Comfort. Touring faves The Raisins, Silverwing, and The Vandals each played there several times to a packed house. Ron Young, a well-known Elvis Presley tribute artist, Joey Dee and The Starliters, and soon to be top 40 recording artists Brownsville Station also performed there.<br />
<br />
After the sale of the club to local realtor Douglas Halford, Davis relocated and opened a tack shop in Beulah, and The Gun(s) continued in business for a few more years. Competition from newer clubs such as the much larger Franco's Lounge certainly affected the whole area's entertainment scene, especially those inland from the beach. Soon after, Machinegun Kelly's closed and the building reopened in 1983 as a restaurant.<br />
<br />
From 1985 to 1986, a second Machinegun Kelly's operated under different ownership at 4520 Mobile Hwy, just north of Fairfield Drive.

<br />
The '''Bushwacker''' is a frozen alcoholic drink that was made popular here after a local lounge owner enjoyed its original version at Sapphire Beach Village in St Thomas, Virgin Islands where it was advertised as the house drink. Sandshaker Lounge owner Linda Taylor Murphy stated that while on a 1977 vacation trip to St Thomas, she first tasted a blended drink made of dark creme de cocoa, Mt Gay rum, chocolate ice cream and Coco Lopez coconut milk. <br />
<br />
Upon her return to Pensacola, she made her own version of the drink - minus it's too-chocolatey richness - by blending white creme de cocoa, milk, Kahlua, and coconut milk with ice. Any liquor added was according to the choice of the customer, and was usually a type of rum, vodka or even bourbon. The local Bushwacker was born, has evolved to include mostly rum as its alcohol base, and has often been described to taste like a coffee and coconut-flavored milkshake. It has grown in popularity, spread to other parts of the world, and has been recognized as a must-have for many tourists who visit the Pensacola nightclubs. <br />
<br />
The annual Bushwacker festivals held on Pensacola Beach continue to attract thousands of party-goers, and add to the growing history and legacy of the area.</div>Hallgshttps://www.pensapedia.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=File:Shakerbushwacker2.webp&diff=29583File:Shakerbushwacker2.webp2022-05-23T03:47:53Z<p>Hallgs: </p>

<br />
[[Westwood Mall]] was a 350,000 square foot shopping center located at 4335 W Fairfield Drive at Mobile Highway. It sat on 35 acres of land, provided parking for 2000 cars, and employed 400 people. The five million dollar facility was negotiated in 1968 by Robert Cramer Realty, who also handled the business leases, and was developed by Stanley J Harte. Construction began in 1970, and it opened on October 11, 1971.<br />
<br />
The anchor stores were WT Grant and JM Fields. The latter, along with Pantry Pride, enjoyed an earlier opening date of September 28, 1971, and to a record 10,000 customers. <br />
<br />
Other stores included American Handicrafts, Ava's Ladies Ready To Wear, BookLand, Cal's Shoes, Dipper Dan Ice Cream, Gilberg's Fabrics, Grice Electronics, Johnnie Cox II, Karmelkorn Shoppe, La Marick Beauty Salon, Motherhood Maternity, Merbler's Jewelry, Morse Shoes, Nelson's, Oakcrest Barber Shop, Pizza Wagon, Playtime Child Care, Rich's Britches, Silhouette Children's Wear, Sir Lance's Lot, SuperX Drugs, Wash Bowl Laundromat, and others.<br />
<br />
The Westwood 4 Cinemas opened on the later date of October 28, 1971.<br />
<br />
The grand opening was followed by slowly decreasing customer traffic, which led to many of the smaller businesses not renewing their leases. In 1976, WT Grant vacated, and in April 1979, JM Fields followed suit, resulting in close to half the retail space being left unoccupied.<br />

'''Franco's Lounge''' was a live rock and roll music nightclub located at 5060 Bayou Boulevard, near the southwest end of the Cordova Mall parking lot. For more than five years, Franco's had been Pensacola's largest freestanding, live entertainment venue. This was due in part to the facts that the civic center had not yet been constructed, and the Municipal (later Bayfront) Auditorium had been under alternating management between the City of Pensacola, and Escambia County authorities, therefore limiting the number of events it hosted. <br />
<br />
During the years Franco's was in business, many 'B' and 'C' circuit entertainers performed there. They included Elvin Bishop, Iron Butterfly, Vince Vance and The Valiants, Bebe Buell, The Back Doors, Clevelend, Truc Of America, and others. Most notably was The Producers, who performed several separate concerts there. Their list of original songs included radio hits such as "What She Does To Me", "I Love Lucy (She Don't Care)", "She, Sheila", and "What's He Got (That I Ain't Got"). A few more of the popular bands that performed more than once at Franco's were Midnite Special, 24K, Momentum, Baghdad, The Pilots, Four In Legion, Saint Savage, also Pensacola's own Exodus, Slayer, X-Statics, and Flame and The Heaters. <br />
<br />
The Sept 17, 1984 closing of Franco's Lounge left a longtime void in the accessibility of a large venue for local fans of live rock and roll music, and it was many years before a comparable-sized venue was locally available, and utilized.</div>Hallgshttps://www.pensapedia.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Franco%27s_Lounge&diff=29568Franco's Lounge2022-05-01T09:01:43Z<p>Hallgs: </p>
