Holley or some of her biggest supporters or favored employees must live up there where the air is thin. They will still service less people than if they had stayed in the same area. It will be like the building dept. on 29 last time I tried to use it no body was there and was supposed to be open. Another waste of money.

YAY…Finally something actually North of 9 mile Road & better yet, North of Cantonment! Never thought I’d see the day, especially after all the county offices that have had major cut-backs or closures (tag offices, driver’s license offices in Century).

To Supporters: THANK YOU!!!!!
To Non-Supporters: We are so over due up here. Yes, we choose to live where
the air is much cleaner, less traffic, less trouble (compared to the city)…just
as you choose to live IN the city. Come on out & visit, you might like it . It
takes less time to drive 20 miles, once north of Cantonment, than 5 miles in
town. By the time you sit at all those redlights at every corner, you have used
the same amount of gasoline. I guess the bottom line is just, “shhhh, quiet,
let us have our moment”.

I guess some people think Molino is just a bunch of fields. You might be surprised how many people live here, and they are not all retired. I am glad to see something in the north end of Escambia County for a change!

Well if all I had to worry about was going north to view all the peanut fields and cotton fields I’d go for that ride too. Or if I lived on the north end where I was retired. I would still have to go south to buy my sugar, flower and a few yards of cloth to make clothes. I would buy my tags or pay my taxes on that monthly trip. But that’s what’s wrong the very few influential rule the majority. I bet if all thoes people don’t go north to use it. It would be closed or have reduced employees and times of use. Still a waste of time, fuel and wear and tear for me. I wonder if they did any kid of survey to determine where people came from to use the old facility.

please remember there are many retirees in the north end! let me clarify, the real north end, Walnut Hill, Etc. not all of us travel south to work. all of my friends are retired as well. we have been up here for many years and enjoy not having to go into the city for services.

@ HOBBY. It is amazing to me how many people think Escambia county north ends at 9 mile rd. If you want to drive downtown then by all means do it.
For those who don’t exist in the rest of the county, We appreciate not having to drive an hour, and put up with traffic.
Also, it helps the older drivers who may be intimidated by all the traffic. Feel free not to come up here in the middle of no where, I’m sure you will not be missed.
The real north end has lost a lot in the last few years, it’s nice to get something back.

I am looking forward to driving up to Molino and conducting business at the new Tax Office, makes a great reason for a drive in the country.

Moreover I am of the opinion that boat registrations be dated to expire one year from date of purchase as opposed to the owners birthday.

Cost to much to drive that far out. It’s not on the way to anything out there. Actually it’s out of the way for I’d say about 75% or more of the citizens its intended to service.
Remember most on the north travel south for work and shopping. Want be there ever.
