The popular California-based grocery chain opened a new Orlando location Nov. 5, but more Florida stores are planned for 2027, including one in Vero Beach, according to company spokesperson Nakia Rohde .

Florida bar closed after 19 years; new name and concept is a secret

A Vero Beach bar that closed Nov. 4 after 19 years in business will reopen with a new name and concept, but the owners want to keep it a secret for now, they told TCPalm. Filthy's Fine Cocktails & Beer on 16th Street, between U.S. 1 and Old Dixie Highway, will reopen Nov. 13 after getting a facelift, said owner Angela Novak, who opened the bar with her husband, Nick, in 2008. Back then, the couple was in their early 20s and had no children. Now in their 40s with two children, they want their bar to reflect the new chapter of their lives. "We aren't those people anymore. We're closing that chapter," Angela told TCPalm on Nov. 5. "It's time to step into our adulthood and a community mindset with a concept that serves our community better." Filthy's bar in Vero Beach closed after 19 years The Novaks "want to keep the suspense going," so Angela wouldn't reveal any details about the new bar, except to say it won't be a Western theme or anything to do with Overpass Arena. The Novaks manage the new rodeo grounds west of Interstate 95 for owners John and Shelley Englehart. Angela was

Chimp sanctuary delivers an ape's food by drone amid Florida floods

A Florida chimpanzee sanctuary had to deliver food to one of its 200 apes by drone this week because the property was swamped by heavy rain . But the animals stayed safe, and the water finally was receding significantly on Saturday, the organization said. As rainstorms soaked southeast and central Florida from Sunday through Tuesday, Save the Chimps' care houses were secure on high ground, CEO Ana Paula Tavares said in a statement. Some veterinarians and other employees stayed overnight on the 150-acre (61-hectare) property near Fort Pierce to ensure the animals' care. Canals overflowed and submerged the internal roads that normally are used to deliver 3,000 pounds (1,361 kilograms) of chimp food per day via golf carts, facilities director Mark Yohannan said by phone. A high-clearance swamp buggy helped but soon broke down. And one chimp, a 38-year-old named Kaleb, had remained in an outdoor area that was cut off by water. The organization bought a delivery drone some time ago for just such an emergency, Yohannan said. Staffers used the device to bring Kaleb food and blankets until he decided on his own to head for somewhere more accessible. Save the Chimps captured video of Kaleb munching a
