In honor of George Washington’s birthday and @America250FL, Florida State Parks will offer free admission from Feb. 13 through Feb. 16, so you can experience the landscapes that shaped the nation’s earliest chapters.
You may not realize it, but San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park, Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park and more #FLStateParks have significant ties to the Revolutionary War era.
Free admission applies to day-use only and excludes Skyway Fishing Pier State Park and Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park. All other fees, including overnight accommodations, special events, concessions and rentals from park vendors, will remain in effect.

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.
Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident.

If you grew up in Tampa, you’ve probably had scachatta, an Ybor City delicacy with Cuban and Sicilian roots.
But, if you’re new to the area or live across the bridge, a tray of this cold pizza-like bread may leave you scratching your head: tampabay.com/life-culture/fo…
