Upcoming Pensacola Fall Events
As the cooler weather rushes in, so do the fun activities and events. If you are looking for something to do this fall season whether that is strolling through a market downtown or supporting local bands, here are some ways you can spend this autumn season:
Marcellus Williams and The Misuse of the Death Penalty (Opinionated)
In 1998, a reporter named Felicia Gayle was found in her home stabbed to death in St. Louis, Missouri. In 2005, Marcellus Williams was convicted of Gayle’s murder despite the lack of his DNA at the crime scene. Williams spent two decades on death row after his conviction in the early 2000s. The U.S. Supreme Court denied the request for a stay and on September 24th, he was executed by lethal injection.
Hotter. Younger. Prettier. Better. More attractive. More beautiful. More skinny. More “Perfect.”
These are the kind of words used by the mysterious eponymous corporation at the heart of 2024’s most controversial horror film “The Substance” to describe the product’s effects on their customers. A dangerously underground substance, the drug comes into the attention of recently fired actress Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) who just lost her job as main host of an aerobics program for reaching the age of 50, a deliberate move by the network (manifested by a rather quirky performance by Dennis Quaid playing the unsubtly named “Harvey”) to grab much younger, “hotter” talent.
Spotlight on Open Books
Open Books is a local nonprofit bookstore and community project in downtown Pensacola. The bookstore is entirely run by volunteers, with all proceeds going to support the Prison Book Project which donates books to inmates throughout Florida prisons. The project itself has been in the works since 1999, with the CORE (Collective of Resource Empowerment) House.
