Fave Fotos: Places That Aren’t There Anymore

In a posting back on June 19th, I featured the well-known local spot Yellow Dog Eats in one of my reviews. I like the place. A lot. Unique Eatery in Gotha is how the header begins, if you’d like to check it out. And yes, YDE… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Places That Aren’t There Anymore”

Jeff Willey and Those Smokin’ Torps Are Killin’ It in Central Florida

Jeff and his top-flight band The Smokin’ Torpedoes are well-known to lovers of live music here in Central Florida. Jeff is very good at his craft.

How Much Fun are Zip Lines, Anyway?

Bulldog loves to zip. Only done it three times but I’m going again when I get the chance. I’ve done the one at The Central Florida Zoo. It’s good, but too many rope ladders and assorted obstacles between zips. Most of the zippers are… Continue Reading “How Much Fun are Zip Lines, Anyway?”

Fave Fotos: Florida Hospital Landscaping

I’ll be featuring some of my photos here from time to time. Here’s one that I like from sometime in 2013. I was visiting my mother in the hospital and thought some of the landscaping around the grounds at Florida Hospital would make for… Continue Reading “Fave Fotos: Florida Hospital Landscaping”

Something Tells Me It’s All Happening at the Zoo

Bulldog really loves going to the Zoo. Pretty much any zoo. I’ve had annual passes to two zoos around here. That would be the Central Florida Zoo in Sanford and the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne. I love them both, can’t wait for the opening… Continue Reading “Something Tells Me It’s All Happening at the Zoo”

Orlando Brewing is a Hidden Gem in Orlando’s Sodo District

To this beer lover, Orlando Brewing is a truly unique establishment. Central Florida has its share of microbreweries, but none plowing the same ground, so to speak. You’ll find this low-key establishment in the southwestern corner of the downtown area, just west of ORMC… Continue Reading “Orlando Brewing is a Hidden Gem in Orlando’s Sodo District”

Bill and Eli Perras, Florida Folk Musicians Extraordinaire

I’ve had two great musical partnerships in my life. One of them is on the acoustic or folk side of the musical universe; it’s the work I was privileged to have done with husband and wife duo Bill and Eli Perras. They invited me… Continue Reading “Bill and Eli Perras, Florida Folk Musicians Extraordinaire”

Fuel, the new barbecue joint next to The Alley in Sanford

If you’re into bars in Sanford’s historic district and like live music, you probably know about The Alley. They’ve been around for about twelve years now and everyone who’s anyone has played there. In addition to the killer music, they’ve got cold beer, a… Continue Reading “Fuel, the new barbecue joint next to The Alley in Sanford”

A Dark Tale of 49 Murdered by Hate, revisited

The story of the slaughter of 49 partiers at Pulse has been told many times. By a thousand journos and bloggers. Orlando and her people are still coming to grips with what happened there in the early morning hours of June 12th; all the… Continue Reading “A Dark Tale of 49 Murdered by Hate, revisited”

Great and Authentic Florida Eatery on the Banks of the St. Johns

My companion and I enjoyed lunch recently at the Swamp House Grill in DeBary; it has become a fave spot for me in east Central Florida. The food is fabulous and the service is consistently good. I had my usual: the blackened seafood trio.… Continue Reading “Great and Authentic Florida Eatery on the Banks of the St. Johns”
