'''Brownsville''' is a neighborhood on the west side of Pensacola. It is named for [[Lucius Screven Brown]], who is responsible for the first housing development in the area, seven blocks bounded by [[Pace Boulevard]], [[Strong Street]], [[W Street]] and [[Gadsden Street]]. Centered around [[Mobile Highway]], the formerly-bustling area suffered from the arrival of [[I-10]] in the late-70s. In recent years it has attracted a reputation as a safe haven for criminal activity, including drugs and prostitution.
