đź“° In the news
Statewide disaster readiness boost: Florida’s Division of Emergency Management has opened a state emergency operations center in Tallahassee, 208,400 square feet, built to withstand 200 mph winds, with room for nearly 200 responders — get all the details.
Artist-photographer reimagines cultural space: Stan Johnson recently opened an African-themed gallery in Tallahassee during Black History Month, renaming the former Anderson-Brickler Gallery, with exhibitions, music and poetry nights, workshops, and community events planned — learn about events and membership.
Safety concerns uproot renters: Residents at a Tallahassee apartment complex must leave today after fire code violations prompted an evacuation order, a move officials say is rare as they aim to resolve by mid-March — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Wing night, solved: Between FSU and FAMU, The Wilbury satisfies wing cravings with smoky, saucy plates, backyard vibes, and side quests like pool, mini-bowling, and darts. Perfect for that friend who swears they can handle heat, it’s a low-stress, high-fun hang that hits when the craving spikes.
Hair day, solved: Cali’s Beauty Supply stocks wigs, bundles, protective-style essentials, and everyday hair care, all in aisles locals actually use. With multiple Tallahassee locations, you can pop in when frizz hits or inspiration strikes… perfect for your next edge-control emergency.
Make cleanup effortless: If your workspace needs a reset this week, Professional Building Services brings 45 years of know‑how in janitorial and porter coverage, pressure cleaning that lifts grime, and those basic handyman fixes you keep postponing. Clear your plate and your brainspace so you can focus on what matters.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week đź‘€
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
