I often write about Florida restaurants, and while I concede that Floridians are often very excited to get new concept restaurants that offer the latest and greatest in food trends, the opposite can sometimes be true as well.

Victory church pastor Rodney Locklear has been indicted. The Richmond Times Dispatch reports that a Virginia church has closed its doors, but not for the same reasons other congregations in the Commonwealth have been shuttered. It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters. Victory church has ceased to exist because the pastor has been accused of s$x crimes against a minor and now faces six additional charges.

Grabbing a donut, muffin, bagel, or coffee on your way to or from work can be a nice way to give yourself a sweet treat or pick me up without spending much money. Unfortunately, a Florida restaurant in this genre was recently closed down. I frequently write about restaurant closures, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a violation like the one that caused the closure.

As food costs have risen and inflation takes hold, some Floridians have stopped eating out as much, and, as a result, I've written about several Florida restaurants that have either struggled, allegedly gotten behind on rent, or gone out of business as a result.

It's no secret that in 2023, Florida lost 41 Bed, Bath, and Beyond stores when the retailer filed for bankruptcy and shuttered stores. Often, the closing Bed, Bath and Beyond stores were anchor stores, which meant their absence left a huge void in some of Florida's shopping centers.

After writing about Florida's restaurants for some time, I've come to believe that, although Floridians want excellent food for a reasonable price, they're not exactly picky about where that food comes from.

As more people shop online, there is a greater need for delivery services. As a result, it is easy to think that shipping and delivery companies are safe from closure or job loss.

If you are a Floridian of a certain age, you might remember when shopping at a mall was seen as a fun way to spend a weekend. Perhaps your parents would drop you off to get a snack at Orange Julius. Or maybe you'd get some cash and were told to buy yourself some school clothes.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

Clearwater, Florida: Although many people know Kirstie Alley from her time on the wildly popular sitcom Cheers, there was much more to her than that. Alley was also a mother, and, at least part-time, she was a Floridian living in a home in Clearwater, Florida, that she purchased from Lisa Marie Presley. (The home recently sold for just over $5 million after Alley's death.)
