After writing Florida restaurant articles for years, I've come to believe that Floridians want high-quality food when they splurge on a restaurant meal. Although one would think that an eatery that was recognized by the James Beard Foundation might have some longevity - especially when it serves a dish that isn't found in many other restaurants - that wasn't the case with one Florida restaurant.

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.

It's no secret that Publix has both been expanding in Florida and upgrading and refurbishing its older stores to have more modern designs and additional amenities. Some refurbished stores are similar to the old stores that they replaced and others look completely different. One Florida Publix will have little resemblance to the 1960s store it is replacing - because it will be 3 stories.
