I drove by the Longhollow site this morning and it's looks promising.
A couple of things I noticed were the large open area and the covered
spaces nearby. These are begging us to build mobile things, robots,
electric vehicles, whatever.
The site is so close to the interstate that we even could launch a
tethered balloon with the site info on it (and blinkies!) to generate
buzz. I can see this emblazoned on the side: "Tweet #pcolamaker and
[any color] to change this balloon." Or "Visit
makerspacepensacola.com
to change the color of this balloon."
And then our arduino-based internet appliance changes the LEDs that
light up the balloon. Could have a wifi-enabled IP camera also.
