*1984 - This was the final business day of '''Franco's Lounge''', which was located at the south end of the Cordova Mall parking lot, near the northeastern corner of 9th Avenue and Bayou Boulevard. For over five years, Franco's had been Pensacola's foremost, privately-owned, live entertainment venue. This was due in part to the fact that the Pensacola Civic Center was still under construction, and the Municipal (later Bayfront) Auditorium had been under alternating management between the City Of Pensacola and the Escambia County authorities. During those five years, many "B" and "C" circuit entertainers performed there. Most notably was The Producers, who performed four separate concerts at Franco's. Their song list included such radio hits as "I Love Lucy; "She, Sheila"; and "What's He Got (That I Ain't Got"). The closing of Franco's Lounge left a longtime void in the accessibility of a large venue for fans of live rock and roll music.                                                                            *[[2002]] – '''[[Willie Junior]]''' pleaded no contest to political corruption charges and agrees to testify against fellow [[Escambia County Commission]]er [[W. D. Childers]].
