I had lunch the other day with a woman who works for one of the local Convention and Visitor Bureaus. She said she's been especially busy this summer because of the oil spill.
I expressed surprise, noting that the oil hasn't come close to us. But she said that people hear it's in Florida and they stay away. They don't realize that South Florida is 500 miles from Pensacola, and that it faces the ocean instead of the gulf.
