It may not be much, but its beauty lures you.
Mission San Luis - Tallahassee's Best Kept Secret
JhwTally Says: Maybe they don't have a huge advertising budget, but there is one attraction in Florida's Capitol City that shouldn’t be missed by visitors from around the globe or right nearby. Namely Mission San Luis. The only reconstructed Spanish mission in the Southeast, this gem of a...
BruceDunning Says: The boats operate on the hour from 10-5. Cost is $8 for the 3 miles ride and that takes 40 minutes, or for the glass bottom boat ride for 30 minutes for $8. That just re-opened after over one year of not being able to see the depth very well due to pollution and sewer...
BruceDunning Says: This is a very large lake to the north of the city on Hwy 27. It is low in depth, so many mereican Lotus lily pads are growing on the surface. It is pretty, but I imagine boaters have to be cautious about where they go, so as not to get the motor prop tangled up in the mess....
BruceDunning Says: This is a famous spring that gushes out water. The source is over 200 feet deep in the lake area coming from underground rivers/channels. The flow is 15,00 gallons a second, and it keeps the river pristine. Ed Ball, a wealthy person who inherited money as a Dupont heir,...
BruceDunning Says: This is one fantastic tour of the mansion, and the grounds. The main house was built in 1840, and still in the same condition with only minor upgrades; like water and plumbing. It was to be the plantation of Henry Croom and family, but they died in a shipwreck on the way...
BruceDunning Says: There really was not much to see along this two block stretch. It is called chain of the parks, but is actually just a green area with some grass and trees, but does have a Vietnam Vet memorial in a gazebo.

Marie Livingston's: Questionable Service / Spotty Food Quality
semtenn1 Says: Arrived at 8:35 for dinner, party of 3, Wednesday night, restaurant approximately half full. Was seated and waited 12 minutes for a waiter to present himself to the table. When the waiter arrived, he advised he was not told he had a table. Asked for water and if the...
Sonny's BBQ: Tried and True Southern BBQ
BruceDunning Says: I have eaten at Sonny's at other places, and it is good, and reliable, and cheap. What else did you want? Beer even is only $3 a 24 ounce. Ribs are the best, but they have all the kinds of BBQ meats, and chicken besides, and I think even pasta? All you can eat slab of ribs...
Calico Jacks: Seafod/CAjun/Wraps
BruceDunning Says: There is a pretty good selection of food at this restaurant, and all was good that we had. The wraps seemed especially good based off mine choice; Ahi Tuna wrap. The fish and calamari plate Micky got was also good food. They specialize in all sorts of chicken wings. Prices...
Capital Punishment (and the Jailbreak Betties): Roller Derby in Tallahassee
850prc Says: OK, I had a tough time. I couldn't decide which category to write up Capital Punishment and the Jailbreak Betties, Tallahassee's two roller derby teams. Sure, it's a sport, but...in the end I chose nightlife tip because it's more of an event than a game.Roller Derby has been...
BruceDunning Says: There are few places to find to park around the Government complex since most spots are for employees. However, the parking garage is form visitors, and the best choice. YOu can park there for $5 a day, or if you go to the Florida Museum of History, you get a coin pass to...
La Lanterna - Italian Market & Deli: Italian treats and eats in Tallahassee
850prc Says: A unique, authentic, family-owned market and deli, offering a wide selection of imported Italian grocery items, meats and cheeses. They also have freshly prepared food for takeout dining, including bread(s), fresh pasta, lasagne and cannelloni, desserts, salads and...
Tallahassee Farmers Market: Tallahassee's Saturday Morning Farmers Market
850prc Says: For quite a few years, Tallahassee has benefited from having a Saturday morning "Farmers Market" over at the Market Square Shopping Center. Basically, farmers and producers from around the area come and set up in the covered "center space", offering fresh vegetables, fruit...
BruceDunning Says: The loop around the south and east side is CApitol Circle Dr, while the north and west side is US 10, a main thoroughfare through the city. Residents use the loop for nearly every place they go because the city is somewhat laid out on a spoke concept that funnels traffic...
BruceDunning Says: This small but quaint town has a large number of antiques stores. After the commerce trade of rolling cigars died off and went to Cuba, little else was left for work. The town struggled for years, and then the concept of those tourists with money to spend and bring back some...
BruceDunning Says: This is a small town, but has a number of antebellum homes from the good old days of commerce and trade coming up and down the Flint River. Not much commerce is left now, but the homes are intact, and preserved real find for some areas. eare no homes to tour, and the town...
BruceDunning Says: This is a very nice town that is about 35 miles north of the city. Take HWy 319 out the the north part of the city. The historic preservation downtown, as well as scores of homes has kept a real pristine image for the town. There also is a county museum that has a nice...
BruceDunning Says: We went down Hwy 393 to Hwy 98 to get the Shell Point and St. Marks village, both on the water. The drive was an additional 20 plus miles from Wakulla Springs, and would be about 40 miles from Tallahassee. The beaches are not used as much as in other places, but also not...
BruceDunning Says: The hike is 6 miles one way. If you merely want to get exercise, do it. I went 2 miles down the path, and it was utterly boring, going through the tree line along a well worn path. You see not water, especially since it has hardly rained here for a long time. Sweat
FSU Baseball, America's pastime, college-style
850prc Says: Baseball is considered a lesser sport in the college ranks. Clearly, football and basketball are the main sports contested between America's universities. However, for those of you who LOVE baseball, and adore a relaxing afternoon at the old ball park, I heartily suggest you...
