Gainesville's Florida Theater eyes comeback amid rising construction costs

As Gainesville's live music scene continues to grow, longtime Gainesville music stakeholder Bill Bryson is betting the historic Florida Theater can become its next cornerstone. But while reconstruction is underway to reopen the century-old venue, how he will pay for the project remains uncertain amid rising costs and other financial challenges. Bryson hopes to reopen the concert venue at 233 W. University Ave. by 2028, its 100th anniversary. He purchased the theater in 2017, and its last event took place the following year. Bryson has been a major stakeholder in Gainesville's music scene for decades. In the 1990s, he owned The Covered Dish, which stood where the now-closed High Dive was later located. With the Florida Theater now under his ownership, Bryson told The Sun on Nov. 12 that restoring it will be a multimillion-dollar project. According to city records , the Gainesville City Commission voted Feb. 6 to add the Florida Theater to the Local Register of Historic Places, opening the door to grants, tax credits and other incentives. Bryson told The Sun in a previous interview in 2025 that throughout plans to renovate the future two-story venue, he has had to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, rising labor and

Fort Matanzas Was Built to Defend a Back Door

A fort does not have to be enormous to reveal what an empire feared. South of St. Augustine, the Spanish spent two years constructing a small coquina tower beside a marshy inlet because a city with imposing walls could still be reached from the water behind it. Fort Matanzas was not supposed to impress anyone standing in the plaza. Its assignment was simpler: make a narrow approach too dangerous for an enemy vessel to use.

St. Johns County will try to flex its golf might Nov. 13-14 at the FHSAA Class 3A state boys golf tournament at the Mission Inn Resort El Campeon Course in Howey-in-the-Hills. A fourth of the 16 qualifying teams are from St. Johns, led by Ponte Vedra, the top team in Class 3A according to the state's iWanamaker rankings. Also in the field are Tocoi Creek (fifth), Beachside (seventh) and Creekside (23rd). All four teams played in District 3-3A (won by Tocoi Creek), advanced to Region 1-3A and are now in the state tournament. St. Johns also has the top-ranked individual in Class 3A, Beachside senior Jaspreet Kondal. Tocoi Creek has two top-10 players, No. 4 Ambrose Kinnare and No. 8 Brady Dougan , and No. 2 Maxwell Morgan leads Ponte Vedra. However, the area teams still need to show up for 36 holes.

Native American Heritage Month in St. Augustine: History & Sites

It is easy to experience St. Augustine through its Spanish history. The Castillo, old streets, and mission sites dominate the city, while the Indigenous history associated with those same places can be much harder to spot. Spanish records mention Native communities throughout the colonial era, but archaeology preserves evidence that reaches much further back. That evidence has helped researchers identify settlements, burial practices, and other traces of Native life in the St. Augustine area.

The Hidden History Behind Downtown Jacksonville's Street Names

Every day, thousands of people travel along downtown Jacksonville’s streets without giving much thought to the origins of their names. Yet, hidden in plain sight, these familiar thoroughfares tell stories of the city’s founding, its early settlers, political ambitions, and transformation from a small frontier settlement into a major Florida city. Some streets honor American presidents and political figures who helped shape Florida’s transition from Spanish to American control. Others commemorate Jacksonville’s earliest residents, including members of the Hart family, whose influence remains visible on the city’s street grid two centuries later. Other streets received their names from natural landmarks, neighborhood institutions, or the everyday activities of early Jaxsons. Together, these names provide a window into the people, places, and events that shaped the city during its formative years.
