‘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

Bozeman football rallies past Oak Hall for first playoff win since 2023

After falling behind early, No. 5 Bozeman football responded with a dominant offensive performance, scoring 47 unanswered points to defeat No. 4 Oak Hall 47-14 in the first round of the FHSAA Independent North B Bracket Thursday, Nov. 12. The victory marks the Bucks' first playoff win since their Final Four run in 2023 and gives first-year head coach Sean Maddox and his team another week to keep their season alive. "It's a good feeling," Maddox said. "The guys had a good week of practice and came out and executed. We're in a way better place now. The guys are still winding down a little bit. They're still wearing off all that excitement." Quarterback Hayden Gay accounted for four touchdowns. The senior threw three touchdown passes, connecting twice with receiver Rylee McNeil on scoring strikes of 25 and 35 yards. He also found receiver Jay Hentz for a 60-yard touchdown. Gay added a rushing touchdown of his own on a 5-yard run. Bozeman's running game turned in its best performance of the season, with Caleb Hentz finding the end zone on a 14-yard run, Blake Durham adding a 10-yard touchdown and Bryant Bragg capping the scoring with a 6-yard touchdown
