Looks like we have a new neighbor....

Is one of Florida's most infamous tabloid fixtures, Casey Anthony, living on Siesta Key? That's the rumor that one private investigator is currently digging into.....of all places!

For those in need of spiritual guidance....

If you haven't been keeping in touch with Island Cove residents here's something that might come as of a surprise. One of our very own has become a self-proclaimed Reverend. Reverend Gerry, as he prefers to be called, is available for all of your spiritual and emotional needs. Rev. Gerry titles his current sermons "Happy Hour" and encourages new parishioners to attend. If you just need a hug or a shoulder to cry/lean on Rev. Gerry is there for whatever you need. For many of us this comes as a shock, Gerry has been called many things over the years but we never thought Reverend would be one of them.

For all of you Ford's Garage fans....

Ford's Garage gets to continue being Ford's Garage. The burger-and-craft-beers restaurant, which opened its first location in downtown Fort Myers in February 2012, has entered into a brand-licensing agreement with Ford Motor Co. It is the first restaurant to be allowed rights to the iconic blue-oval logo, as well as other of the automotive giant's brand imagery. Thank goodness because Ford's Garage sounds a heckuva lot better then _____ Garage!!!  (You fill in the blank)

Looking for the best tasting tacos of SW Florida.

Food critic Jean Le Boeuf is looking for the restaurant making the best tacos in all of Southwest Florida. The public is nominating their favorites and the highest vote getters earn a spot in the finals. JLB (or the Boofer, as he's called in the biz) will visit will top 10 vote getters and pick a winner on July 23rd. Aside from the drunken binges at 2 a.m. at Taco Bell, what is your favorite taco joint? 

To be cont.

900 jobs coming to SW Florida...

Looks like I'll be able to retire sooner then expected with hundreds of jobs coming to Southwest Florida by the end of the summer.  Alta Resources is hiring twice as many part-time employees this year as it did last year. Alta Resources handles customer service and health insurance calls for larger companies. Let's see if I meet the qualifications..... The ideal candidate will be a college student (check) who has a friendly voice (check) is computer savvy (check) and is bi-lingual (el checko). Well, based on that I like my chances. 

BREAKING NEWS TO PREVIOUS POST!!!!!!

This just in.....4 hours ago Cleveland won the unanimous backing of a Republican National Committee panel all but guaranteeing the GOP's 2016 presidential pick will accept the parties nomination in perennially hard fought Ohio. Now the "Mistake by the Lake" will be known for more then polluting the Cuyahoga River and it's sports teams...(do they still have sports teams?) "As Ohio goes, so does the presidential race," said party chairman Reince Priebus.......Oh boy!!!!!!

For Our Ohio Residents!

If you've ever googled "Ohio tourist attractions" (and why would you) you should have noticed nothing comes up or it will direct to another state, say like Michigan or Indiana. Well apparently this doesn't seem to bother the Republican National Committee as a panel is recommending Cleveland to host the party's 2016 presidential convention. The full 168-member RNC is expected to ratify the choice next month. 

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Hopefully everyone enjoyed a wonderful and happy 4th of July as we remember those who made this day possible......not to brag but this past 4th was one of the best I/we have ever celebrated. If you ever get a chance to go to the "Hollar" (and you won't because you probably won't be invited) there is no better place on this earth to spend the 4th of July. Great people, great food, great music and more importantly iced cold beer!!! If you are looking for a "Hollar" type of time surround yourself with genuine, warm-hearted friends, great home cooked food (minus the nasty fish) and your favorite cocktail...then be prepared to smile, laugh and simply enjoy life the way it was meant to be enjoyed. As we here thank the wonderful and generous hosts of the "Hollar" make sure you do the same and thank those who made your 4th possible.

Took a Little Break....

As happens during most summer months life gets busy and some things seem to take precedence over others and in our case the blog suffered the most. Don't worry we are back and refreshed!!!! We are ready to entertain our two (2) followers with more sarcasm and silliness. So pull up your Jordache jeans and strap yourself in......
