Tallahassee business leaders brace for Mayor Jeremy Matlow era

A war of words for years has pitted progressives in power against influential developers, business owners and other leaders in how Tallahassee should grow. Tallahassee City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow , a vocal critic of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce in the past, will be the new mayor in a matter of days.

In interviews with the Tallahassee Democrat, some business leaders said the city's sluggish growth will only get worse. They say not to expect any groundbreaking economic developments in the months ahead. While others, even with the acrimony and tough talk leading up to the election, say there needs to be a willingness to move forward and band together on priority issues.

At Wakulla Springs, the Marble Is the Story

The counter measures seventy feet and three inches. That is an astonishing amount of marble to put in a place where people might ordinarily expect a soda fountain and a modest souvenir shelf. At the Lodge at Wakulla Springs, the counter is not a decorative flourish added after the building was finished. It helps explain the ambitions of the man who built the place.
