Homeless artist finds hope on a Tallahassee sidewalk

A cotton candy-colored sunset over a tropical island. A crisp starry night falling over a mountain range. Stephon Davis can imagine himself transported to these places as he paints them onto a canvas. Back in reality, the 49-year-old is sitting on the hot sidewalk along Village Square Boulevard in Tallahassee, dripping in sweat as he tries to make a living. How Stephon Davis became a homeless artist Davis has been homeless for nearly two years. He uses his art not just as a form of income, but as an escape. When his mother died nearly three years ago, he was left with her bills, which he couldn't keep up with. This led to Davis being unable to pay his own rent and having his car repossessed, leaving him without transportation to work, he says. He lost his job as a construction worker restoring homes damaged by natural disasters. He wound up in Tallahassee while working with his cousins writing raps and poetry. Eventually, they all went their separate ways. After the series of unfortunate events and financial hardships, Davis ended up on the streets and has gone back to the thing he loved doing since he was a child —

This Rosie the Riveter is still flexing, Florida

This Rosie the Riveter is still flexing at 101, Florida. Tallahassee’s Kate Kerr was barely out of high school when she left home to help build B-24 bombers during World War II. Eight decades later, she has plenty to say about when women learned to stop asking for permission. Here's a little more of what's going on across Florida: Bernie at the beach: Sen. Bernie Sanders and Senate candidate Angie Nixon drew thousands to a rally in Florida’s heavily Republican Brevard County. It was one stop on a weekend swing through Florida. Leather weather: Byron Donalds, Ashley Moody and Randy Fine hit Daytona's Biketoberfest to rev up Republican voters ahead of early voting. He left with a custom piece of biker campaign gear . Buy one, complain free: Floridians are still grumbling that Publix makes them buy two items to get its BOGO deal. Opinion editor Roger Brown thinks we just might be making too much of this .

Susan Cerulean's new book is 'more than a nature memoir'

Among the sun-baked naturalists in Florida’s Big Bend and beyond, the birth of a new book by Tallahassee’s Susan Cerulean is cause for celebration. They’ve been gobbling up her written works for more than 30 years. If you search on Goodreads, you’ll find her name listed 22 times as writer, co-writer, editor or contributor. Her titles tell you where her heart lies. “The Wild Heart of Florida.” “A Journey After Swallow-tailed Kites.” “What Have You Done for Wildlife Lately?” In her newest book, “The Call to a Wilder Wisdom,” Cerulean’s heart is on display as never before. And she’s writing not just for her card-carrying compatriots. She’s writing for all of us, including the weekend naturalists, the ones who admit we too often think of Mother Earth as only a distant relative. We’re the same ones who might be tempted to think, “Oh, another nature book.” Well, no. Each book builds on its predecessors. And this book charts a significant shift in Cerulean’s outlook. She writes in her introduction: “For three decades, St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge has been the center of my conservation work, my prayers, and my awe. When I cross the tidal waters of Indian Pass, I
