Many Floridians enjoy all-you-can-eat buffets as they offer plenty of food variety for one fixed price. Unfortunately, one popular option in this niche - Plant City Homestyle Buffet - was closed for three days after a state inspection. Unfortunately, this isn't its first closure.

Grabbing a donut, muffin, bagel, or coffee on your way to or from work can be a nice way to give yourself a sweet treat or pick me up without spending much money. Unfortunately, a Florida restaurant in this genre was recently closed down. I frequently write about restaurant closures, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a violation like the one that caused the closure.

Victory church pastor Rodney Locklear has been indicted. The Richmond Times Dispatch reports that a Virginia church has closed its doors, but not for the same reasons other congregations in the Commonwealth have been shuttered. It was not a declining or aging congregation or financial matters. Victory church has ceased to exist because the pastor has been accused of s$x crimes against a minor and now faces six additional charges.

It's no secret that Publix has both been expanding in Florida and upgrading and refurbishing its older stores to have more modern designs and additional amenities. Some refurbished stores are similar to the old stores that they replaced and others look completely different. One Florida Publix will have little resemblance to the 1960s store it is replacing - because it will be 3 stories.

It's not unusual for old Florida buildings like Kmart and Golden Coral to be demolished to be repurposed for other things. And now, a Florida Burger King has been torn down for a somewhat surprising downsizing reason.

When homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it usually means there will be an intended purpose to keep the structure alive whether it’s through historic restoration, repurposing, or general maintenance. Sometimes, too, these places get demolished.

After writing about Florida's restaurants for some time, I've come to believe that, although Floridians want excellent food for a reasonable price, they're not exactly picky about where that food comes from.

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone. It's hard to tell if it's true or false without personal experience, or at least whether someone in a family's long history line was treated with one of these stones.

Kentucky coach Mark Pope never played high school basketball in the Bluegrass State. If you didn’t know any better, you would think he has bled Blue all of his life. His three seasons at Kentucky from 1994-96, including a year he had to sit out because of NCAA transfer rules in place at the time, was all it took for Pope to understand what it means to wear the Blue-and-White jersey.
