  1. Tally Truth, most of Tallahassee IS a crap hole, and those few areas that had a little non-crappiness are sliding down with the rest of it.

  2. Wait, WHAT? He is only facing Second-Degree Murder Charges? He PLANNED IT. It was all PLANNED OUT. It should be CAPITAL MURDER. He should be facing the Death Penalty and nothing LESS.

  3. Just once I would like to see an Investigative Reporter do a Story where they find TWO some ones who want to build a Business in Tallahassee, one in the City and one in the County. Starting at the very beginning, the Reporter follows both through the whole process from Getting Approval, getting the Permits, Breaking Ground, getting the Inspections, building, everything until they are Open For Business. I want to know what everything takes and how long it takes. That Coffee Company would have been a great one to follow since they had to remove BB’s.

  4. Rick Minor is delusional. The North Monroe corridor is a crap hole. Until Tallahassee addresses the homeless issue and crime in that area, it doesn’t matter how much investors put into their businesses, it will remain a crap hole. The Democrats running this city have allowed filth to continue on North Monroe for way too long. It’s sad.
