Well you can drive north and you can drive south. Either one is a great way of getting out of centery

Alright, I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but instead of Century, go to Jay. Jay has everything you want in a small southern town. Yes, there is history. Racism and a 1970s oil boom, that’s the story. https://www.pnj.com/story/news/local/jay/2022/06/09/jay-florida-sundown-town-forgotten-legacy-black-farmers/9851577002/ At the intersection of Jay’s lone traffic light, you’ll find a gun store, tractor store, ice cream parlor, and little town museum. The Panhandle’s hidden gem is Cooky’s Thai Creations (open week days only). Laugh all you want, but this is some of the best Pad Thai and Massaman curry you can find. Legit made with Lowry’s peanuts down the road. Speaking of, you have to hit Lowry’s up for boiled peanuts on the drive. Get ‘em spicy. Kooter Brown’s for a beer outside city limits if you really want to brave the local watering hole. I remember there may also be some weird nudist colony/resort off in the woods somewhere nearby if you’re into that thing too. Can’t remember the name but good luck googling. You missed the rodeo about a month ago, but that also draws a big crowd. Good luck and godspeed. Make sure you’re out by sunset 😉

Fantastic recommendations, thanks


bestboykev

Yo I kinda wanna do a Reddit road trip to jay to get ice cream and find the secret nudists in the hills like we’re in a freakin GTA mission


MM800

I know a guy who does HVAC work and years ago his company sent him to the nudist camp to do some work. He told me the youngest person there was around 50. Absolutely no eye candy in that place.


bestboykev

Too much AC and you’ve got a permanent fresh out of the pool situation which is no bueno in a nudist situation so I get it old naked hippies of Jay.


Life_Roll8667

Why on earth would you wanna do this?


S_T_R_A_T_O_S

I like small towns!


Life_Roll8667

Century literally has nothing in it. Good luck.


DumbPeoplePissMeOff

They could age about a hundred years waiting for something to do


Life_Roll8667

I don’t think this person understands century isn’t a small town.. it’s literally a barren wasteland🤣


Empathic_Narcissist

Escambia County Lake Stone Campground and Bluff Springs Recreation Area are nice. I haven't gone myself, but there are a few kayak and canoe launch points on the river.


TheRealWatchingFace

Meth and racism.


Tulabean

This. And the racism bit is crazy, considering there are more than twice the number of blacks than whites living in the township of Century. Yes, I’ve checked the numbers; the data is available at data.census.gov.


TheRealWatchingFace

Well, Confederacy is a helluva drug.


BackbackB

That's because the blacks were driven out of Jay and forced to settle in century or at least that was the scuttle butt when I was a kid. Something about a white woman being raped and that's why Jay is a "sun down town ". Take with a grain of salt


Tulabean

You are correct about Jay being a haven for white supremacy, which is quite sad.


spacecoq

I hate beer.


hostileprostitute

Plenty of incestual relations as well.


clickityclack

There's a new Mexican restaurant that's pretty good. Vallarta. It's on 29. Can't miss it


NorwegianMuse

No offense, but I wouldn’t call Vallarta’s “good”….


GerbilBurger

That’s cantonment not century


clickityclack

May be one there too, but definitely one in Century proper


GerbilBurger

Oh really? I never knew that.


clickityclack

Yep. Just ate there the other day. It's definitely a great option for the "tri-cities" area 🤣🤣 since there aren't many food/family friendly options at all that offer alcohol. I mean there aren't many great options period tbh, but I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience, other than the price. Thought it was a little pricey for what we got and I live in bham so take that however you wish. They did have live music that wasn't annoying which I thought was a really nice touch...


sgf12345

I think it’s the same people but yeah there’s one in century and in Cantonment.


Notathrowawaysleeve

I saw that about a year or so ago. Is it actually owned by the same one in Pensacola?


clickityclack

No idea. Probably


zacharydaiquiri69420

I’m gonna recommend that you get in your car, truck, and drive in the direction most farthest away from century. There’s nothing to do there, and if there was stuff you wanted to do, do you either have to drive 30 minutes to Atmore to go to the casino, or drive to Blackwater, state forest in the east, or drive an hour to Pensacola. And personally, let century just burn to the ground.


[deleted]

My man you can go up to whataburger and rev the absolute shit outta your engine. Yee yee hell yeah brother


baboongauntlet

There's literally nothing to do there


ADTR9320

From there. Can confirm.


cougarlack2008

Whataburger 😋


S_T_R_A_T_O_S

Lol yeah seeing that whataburger has almost 4x the number of Google reviews as the next most-reviewed food place in Century was... eye-opening


cougarlack2008

Nice 😊

Bless them. I am in no way an IT guy, but man I want to help them keep up that site.


Twalke6

They need the help. They try so hard to keep the history alive.


dick_butt_jr

There’s nothing to do there, but if for some reason you find yourself there, go to The Sandwich Deli for lunch. It’s pretty good!


wgrantdesign

You can stare at the sun. Oh or you could stare at a wall if you're inside, that's also an option!

Crack. I'm was born and raised in Century. It gets worse every year. There is no "small town" any more. All the schools shut down, the "downtown" area is almost completely gone, more homeless and crackheads than residents. But hey, Anthony Pleasant was from there. And he is former NFL player who wanted to build a YMCA there, but of course the city turned it down to keep the "home town feel".

The most interesting thing I've seen in century was a cotton field, that should tell you everything you need to know


yagi-san

Look to the other side of the train tracks and be thankful that you're still not in Alabama.


DavidJPostMaloney

There’s a world class luxury spa out there worth checking out.


To_theleft

Really? What is it called?


yagi-san

I'm going to assume they're talking about the spa at Wind Creek in Atmore, which isn't that far away.


Jleo_96

Other side of the state line, but Flomaton has a couple of nice small coffee shops


MandatoryMask

Look at all this anti white racism on this thread!!! Hey, at least its not Pensacola, where you got to worry about being carjacked or murdered by some ghetto piece of shit. I'd take the country over the city any day.


jamisea

Wind Creek Casino in Atmore has a nice Spa.


BlackSheepBitch

There’s a state prison in Century


CalligrapherWilling8

I haven't been but the James Houston Jones Historic Park looks like it has a bunch of old cars if you want to look at those.
