7 Florida Dollar-Stretching Grocery Outlets Where Brand-Name Pantry Staples Fill A Whole Cart

My favorite grocery fact this year involves a Florida salvage store that once sold bikes. Not bike baskets, actual bikes, at up to 60 percent off, a few aisles from the canned beans. That’s the energy of the stores on this list. They buy overstock, closeouts, and reclaimed goods, then...

Lakeland linebacker Charles Calhoun aims to make statement in playoffs

LAKELAND — If defense indeeds wins titles, Lakeland senior linebacker Charles Calhoun couldn’t be happier with that responsibility. He certainly knows what it’s going to take on his part and his defensive teammates as the postseason run begins, especially beginning against Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas on Friday. “We got to come out, dominate,” Calhoun said. “We got to hit them in their mouth first. You can't let them hit us in the mouth. This whole week we've been practicing hard, you know what I'm saying, working hard, getting it in, so we got to come out, hit them in the mouth first, play 48 minutes of tough football.” Lakeland renews its rivalry against St. Thomas Aquinas in the first round of the Open Division playoffs at 7 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale. Lakeland has the overall edge in postseason matchups, but the Raiders have won the last two meetings with shutout wins in the championship game. For Calhoun, it’s his first time facing the Raiders as he transferred from Auburndale to Lakeland for his senior season.

Kids Pick Their Own Strawberries Every Winter At This Plant City Family Farm

A blueberry surplus once turned a family nursery into a full-blown farm destination. Now, every winter, kids grab buckets and head into strawberry rows to fill them by hand.

Dozens of speakers convey ardent opposition to Auburndale data center

AUBURNDALE — It was a familiar scene in Polk County. Speaking to an overflow audience, city officials explained that approvals were already in place for a planned data center. A representative of the developer provided details on the project intended to reassure the public that the project would yield economic benefits without causing environmental harm. And a boisterous group of citizens mostly expressed skepticism shading at times into anger. The Auburndale City Commission held a special workshop the evening of Nov. 10 to discuss the Auburndale Technology Center, a data facility planned for two existing buildings at 810 Pace Road. The meeting came less than a week after Hillwood Development Company filed a building permit following about a year of rumors regarding a data center in Auburndale. Rather than holding the meeting in the City Hall commission chamber, which seats about 50, Auburndale hosted it in the Ariana Suite of the Ariana Civic Center. Citizens filled all of the roughly 250 seats, with another 150 or so standing at the sides and back of the room. Nearly all the spectators waited through about 100 minutes of presentations and discussion among city commissioners before getting the chance to speak during the
