Fort Myers Beach, Florida

A friend’s husband, just this last weekend, was dolphin fishing 32 miles off of Marathon in the Florida Keys. He said they ran into an huge oil slick. Has anyone else heard of this?

Did anyone else witness the 4 Sheriff’s cars intercept this “Can of Sardine stealing” bandit? He apparently was seen shoplifting and then tasered in the parking lot. Apparently it took six deputies to accomplish this…

Here we are in the middle of September and the beach is very QUIET.  Those businesses that haven’t closed permanently (Dusseldorf’s, The Bridge) or are closed for cleaning (Beached Whale) or remodeling to meet American with Disabilities Act (Dairy Queen, S.O.B.s) are in that grey area where there’s speculation as to whether they will reopen or not (Mango Street Market).

BUT:  the town has actually started paving the sandy/grassy areas between the street and the sidewalk from Red Coconut to Palermo Circle (Beached Whale).
