Landmark seafood restaurant celebrates 44 years in Fort Myers

It really does fit every occasion. Looking for a friendly neighborhood bar? How about dinner with one or 30 friends? Want to sit outside and bring Fido along? Or maybe you want to sit inside while feeling like you’re outside? For 44 years, The Prawnbroker has been doing all that and more along McGregor Boulevard in Fort Myers . “We opened in 1982,” co-owner Matt Asen said. “It’s worked out so well. This is a good location.” When he, Michael Schilling and Kipp Foster opened their seafood restaurant and fish market in Cypress Square, the Oyster Shell was pretty much the only other restaurant there. Today it boasts Blu Sushi, Bellini’s and Blanc (in Oyster Shell’s old space). “(Back then) we were so busy,” said Asen, who, along with his partners, also owns University Grill in Fort Myers, and The Timbers and The Sanibel Grill on Sanibel. “We took over the place behind us, and then we took over another space.” Seating capacity has grown from 150 in the early years to 220-plus today. Prawnbroker quickly became a neighborhood favorite “We did it the right way,” Asen said. “We grew our restaurant as our customer base grew.” With the early

5 Best Italian Restaurants in Cape Coral, Florida that Will Make You Feel Like You’re in Rome

Cape Coral, Florida — a city where the sun glances off a thousand canals, where pastel houses line the water’s edge and the scent of salt mingles with the perfume of jasmine and basil. Here, neighbors wave from porches, fishermen cast lines at dawn, and the laughter of children echoes through palm-shaded parks. Cape Coral is a tapestry of newcomers and old souls, of snowbirds and sun-chasers, of families who gather for Sunday feasts and friends who linger over espresso as the day fades.

Ground stop lifted: SW FL flights, travelers were delayed as FAA investigated

The Federal Aviation Administration has lifted a ground stop that forced planes to stay put at airports across the nation, including Southwest Florida International in south Fort Myers. The hours long stop, blamed on unstable, old technology, was lifted before 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13. Earlier, the skies had become increasingly quiet as the FAA said it had a communication issue, grounding all planes. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW ), with between 120 to 140 flights a day, as well as the smaller Page Field in Fort Myers and Naples Airport were accepting landings, but there were no takeoffs starting at about 3:30 p.m., which lasted for hours. The stoppage on departures was originally expected to last until at least 11 p.m., with the FAA actually lifting the restriction at 8:15 p.m. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said it would take some time to reschedule all the flights, with those having more passengers given priority. ▶Watch Live: FAA ground stops at RSW, all airport in U.S. The restrictions impacted airports across Southwest Florida. "All outbound flights are grounded as we await further word from the FAA," said Chris Rozansky, executive director of the Naples Airport Friday afternoon. "However,
