A herd of bison roams free on a Florida prairie. Wild Spanish horses graze nearby, and alligators sun themselves just off an elevated boardwalk. I had to read that twice. This is the same state known for beaches and theme parks, yet here is a sweeping grassland that looks borrowed from the Great Plains.

Gainesville's Florida Theater eyes comeback amid rising construction costs

As Gainesville's live music scene continues to grow, longtime Gainesville music stakeholder Bill Bryson is betting the historic Florida Theater can become its next cornerstone. But while reconstruction is underway to reopen the century-old venue, how he will pay for the project remains uncertain amid rising costs and other financial challenges. Bryson hopes to reopen the concert venue at 233 W. University Ave. by 2028, its 100th anniversary. He purchased the theater in 2017, and its last event took place the following year. Bryson has been a major stakeholder in Gainesville's music scene for decades. In the 1990s, he owned The Covered Dish, which stood where the now-closed High Dive was later located. With the Florida Theater now under his ownership, Bryson told The Sun on Nov. 12 that restoring it will be a multimillion-dollar project. According to city records , the Gainesville City Commission voted Feb. 6 to add the Florida Theater to the Local Register of Historic Places, opening the door to grants, tax credits and other incentives. Bryson told The Sun in a previous interview in 2025 that throughout plans to renovate the future two-story venue, he has had to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, rising labor and

‘Super slammed’: Brewing Thoughts sees surge after Streatery opens

Less than a week after the city’s long-awaited Streatery opened, downtown coffee shop Brewing Thoughts has already felt the effects, with its co-owner describing business as “super slammed.” With a blanket of stars overhead and strands of dimly lit orange and blue string lights illuminating the plaza, several Gainesville city commissioners, officials and Alachua County Commissioner Marihelen Wheeler cut the ribbon Nov. 6, ending a more than six-year wait for a project first conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic to expand outdoor dining. The Streatery, which stretches along Southwest First Avenue between Southwest Second Street and South Main Street, converts the former roadway into a walkable pedestrian plaza with overhead string lighting, new landscaping, enhanced tree canopies and upgraded stormwater drainage infrastructure. Construction crews began fencing off sections of Southwest First Avenue on April 13. The Nov. 6 ribbon cutting marked the end of nearly seven months of construction and the completion of another effort to create more pedestrian-friendly spaces downtown. Businesses along the Streatery include The Bull, Loosey’s, Capone’s, Nest + Nibble, Lor Kebab and Brewing Thoughts. Brewing Thoughts co-owner Titan Wojciak, a UF electrical engineering student, told The Sun on Nov. 9 that he and his girlfriend and fellow

Noah Doubt About It: Gainesville area FHSAA region quarterfinal HS football picks

The most wonderful time of the year is here. No, I don’t mean Christmas, even though the commercials have started and the displays in stores are up (that shouldn’t start until after Thanksgiving. It’s fall, not winter). I mean the FHSAA high school football postseason. Battles have been fought, and the war is over. The pretenders are gone. Only the contenders remain. Each week, the field will dwindle. As it begins, we stand at nine teams. Many are your usual suspects. Buchholz , Hawthorne and Columbia are each top two seeds in their respective regions and dream of the deep runs we’ve seen in years past. Others, such as Fort White, Santa Fe and Bradford aren’t state title contenders per se – but they are favorites and would like to secure a playoff win. Finally, for Williston, Chiefland and Palatka, the odds are stacked against them, but you really never know what can transpire in the postseason. That won’t stop me from predicting what I think will occur. Let’s pick all these games, shall we? In the last regular season games two weeks ago, Noah Doubt About It finished with a 7-5 (0.58) record for a 130-39 (0.77) mark so
