After Florida launch, ULA Vulcan rocket may be seen in Tallahassee sky

When United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket launches from Florida, it could create quite a show in the sky − even for people in the Tallahassee area. And this so Florida thing is coming up tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 14. The United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan rocket , which has been grounded since February 2026 when it experienced a mid-flight anomaly , is due to return to flight. The Vulcan rocket, which can fly with up to six solid rocket boosters mounted to the side, is expected to transport a batch of Amazon Leo satellites to low-Earth orbit following liftoff from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, according to the ULA , a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The launch window was originally set for today, Friday, Nov. 13, but was scrubbed and is now set for Saturday, Nov. 14. Although ULA Vulcan launches have been seen far beyond the launch pad (even in other states), the Vulcan rocket's returning launch this week may have lower visibility, due to the launch window falling in the middle of the day. But the lack of darkness could be offset by the fact that ULA is using all six of its rocket boosters

Another Wendy's closed: W. Pensacola at Appleyard store is no more

Tallahassee says goodbye to yet another Wendy's storefront. The fast food joint known for its “fresh, never frozen” square burgers, chili, Frosty desserts and more has closed its longtime location at Appleyard Drive and West Pensacola Street. The Walker Plaza shopping center has seen several closures in recent years, with the shuttering of sandwich shop Which Wich as well as Tex-Mex eatery Moe's, leaving locally owned dessert shop More Than Pudding on its own. When placing an order online, a pop-up notification states, "Sorry, unfortunately, this location has closed. Fortunately, you can choose another location and get the same delicious food." The sudden shuttering of Wendy's stores also includes the South Monroe location in September and the Bradfordville location on 3451 Bannerman Road. In late 2025, the Wendy's on Ocala and Pensacola, directly across from the WestEnd Square shopping center, closed. The Wendy’s at 2122 Capital Circle NE also closed. Closures are in line with the company's strategy to close "underperforming units." According to a transcript reported by Investing.com , Wendy's interim CEO and chief financial officer, Ken Cook, announced in an earnings call Nov. 7 that the closure of the underperforming units — up to 360 stores nationwide —

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. PJ Perez, a political newcomer on Matlow's progressive slate, was elected to Seat 3, replacing Matlow there. For the private sector, all eyes are now on City Hall. 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. Matlow said he understands the concerns but added "we have a mandate for change." "People want to see our community go in a different direction," said Matlow, in an interview with the Democrat. "I actually think when we look over the stagnation of the last decade, the lack of growth was part of the issues we're having at City
