September 17:

• 1719 – French Pensacola: For the second time that year, the Spanish garrison at Presidio Santa María de Galve surrendered to a French attack.
• 1912 – An L&N train robbery took place sometime in the night between Pensacola and Flomaton, during which the culprits replaced $70,000 in express packages with magazine paper.
• 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 Commissioner W. D. Childers.
