Troublewide Saloon? Development Planned For Highway 95A At Highway 29
June 15, 2025
A development application has been filed for a property on Highway 95A at Highway 29 in Cantonment, but the exact details are a bit unclear.
A handwritten application filed by Robert Carlson states the project name is BDR Towing/Troublewide at 160 North Highway 95A. The application states the estimated parcel acreage is 2.3. According to Escambia County Property appraiser records, the parcel is 1.1365 ares — a lot with about 646 feet of road frontage that ranges in depth between 72 and 100 feet located near the intersection.
Associate drawings filed with the county show a 24×36 modular office building that will be placed at the southwest corner of an existing foundation next to a 22×46 shop and a variety of other development including some sort of train, parking that appears to back out into Highway 95A, a gravel path for truck and RV parking or storage and food trucks.
A rendering filed with the county also shows a two-story building labeled “Troublewide Saloon” and train cars. One page of the application also contains an unexplained logo for “Outlaw Country Music Festival”.
No other details were provided in the count application, but county staff did notate “possible code enforcement case” on the application.
The proposal is set for a pre-application meeting this Wednesday with the Escambia County Development Review Committee.

Terrible intersection already so let’s make it worse. Unreal
NO!! NO!!! NO!!! Please NO. Let the State have it for FHP to check Trucks and DUI Check Points. NO Businesses. To Dangerous.
Troublewide… That’s an appropriate name. This will only cause trouble wide, or should I Countywide headaches for our local Government, and Citizens. This is the intersection of Bad Planning and Mismanagement.
Just what we need, more drunks on the road. It is already a congested area with people dodging in and out of traffic. Pensacola is getting way too overcrowded. How sad.
This is a absolute terrible spot for this place to even try to be. Traffic already sucks in cantonment these days and that part of 95a/29 people already dont know how to use smh
“There goes the neighborhood” So, the paper mill and its many toxic incredibly odorous sludge drainage ponds are a community treasure? I’d be more concerned about the parking being a reverse into 95A traffic that’s just asking for well trouble.
There goes the neighborhood.
Wow a salon right on a busy off ramp going to Hwy 95A! What happened to getting a Costco?
Parking backing out onto 95A. Thats a total laugh at that
Busy road.
Wheres the retention pond
Whats the train for. HOMELESS PEOPLEE
I bet that’s the same guy that parks those junk vehicles on the lot, and a couple of years ago the EPA and Escambia county code enforcement had to clean it out. There’s no way they’re going to approve this guy.
That’s the last place a bar needs to be. People already don’t know how to use that intersection.
