Newsom's Music Center was Pensacola's first in-mall "head shop", and located approximately at the midway point of the northern end of Cordova Mall, on it's western side. In addition to records and tapes, Newsom's sold Yamaha guitars, sheet music, guitar strings, capo's, guitar picks, harmonicas, incense, belt buckles, novelty smoking pipes & roach clips, rolling machines & papers, flavored snuff, fragranced oils, rock t-shirts, concert tickets, b&w posters, lava and party lamps, pop/mod jewelry, "worry" stones, onyx eggs, and even had two walk-through tunnels with several dozen blacklight posters adorning the walls. It was a must-see for hippies, and those who aspired to be. After a little more than ten years in business, Newsom's Music Center closed in the 1980's.
