Clearwater residents sue city over Scientology land deal

A fight over a portion of downtown Clearwater roadway has landed in court. Why it matters: It's the latest escalation in the battle over a block of South Garden Avenue, where the Church of Scientology has already broken ground on an auditorium and plaza named after its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. State of play: Resident group Save the Garden sued the city last week after City Council members voted 3-2 not to take action on a petition aiming to reverse a previous Council decision to give the roadway to the church. The petition's 7,577 verified signatures met the threshold to challenge that decision, according to meeting documents. Yes, but: City Council members, acting on advice from the Florida Attorney General's Office, stood by it instead, WUSF reported . They also declined to put the question to voters as a referendum. Repealing the decision would violate a state law that bars citizen petitions from changing certain land development policies, City Attorney Owen Kohler said, according to WUSF. The church praised the decision, saying in a statement that the attorney general's opinion "confirmed what the church has maintained all along: This petition is unlawful," Fox13 reported . What's next: Save the Garden

Florida has a surprising number of buffets that treat snow crab legs like a main event instead of a rare treat. One of them even pairs the crab with whole lobster, and it has been feeding hungry crowds for decades.

After Bruce Levitt’s Death, Tree Companies Step In to Help His Seminole Family

Damaged trees were removed at no cost from a Seminole home after 73-year-old Bruce Levitt was killed while trying to clear branches from the property. The Australian pines at 10779 64th Avenue were damaged during Hurricane Milton in 2024. Leota, Levitt’s sister-in-law, said some of the tall trees were diseased and weakened, and the family had spent about two years trying to find help removing them. She said the trees were already on the property when the family bought the home and described them as non-invasive. Florida agriculture officials classify Australian pines as nonnative and invasive in the state.
