Nearly seven years ago, I started this labor of love now known as My Sanford Magazine. At that time, we were experiencing difficult times in our community, and Sanford wasn’t portrayed at its best. I knew it wouldn’t be an easy challenge, but God enlightened me and allowed me – together with my excellent staff – to see the birth and growth of this publication that continues to serve the community. Despite the ups and downs, Sanford is seen in a better light – as a unique town full of love for the community and for its visitors.

More details to come. Until then, thank you for your continued support of MySM and our beloved Sanford.

As we strengthened our presence in the community, My Sanford Magazine decided to launch an awards ceremony to recognize the efforts of our businesses and volunteers that work so hard to make this city better. Today, I want to celebrate with each one of you – our 5th Annual ‘BEST OF SANFORD’ Awards will be back and better than ever this year, featuring the ‘Top 10 Best of Downtown Sanford.’

ANTIQUE DISCOVERY

THROUGH THE LENS OF AN ADVENTURER

Maya Books & Music

BY NEASHA DALEY

he City of Sanford is well known for its rich history. The atmosphere of downtown Sanford is inviting and relaxing, offering a wide variety of fun activities to choose from and exciting places to visit. When exploring the brick streets of this captivating city, visitors are transported back in time. One the most noteworthy activities is the art of antiquing, which involves visiting antique shops and collecting timeless items. There are a few antique and book shops in the area, satisfying the curiosity of visitors and locals alike. Park & 2nd Antiques, Tree House, Maya Books and Music, and an antique car show, known as the Celery City Cruisers, are some of the great options to explore. Antique shopping can be used as a remedy for uplifting the spirit, cheering the heart, banishing boredom, and gift giving for a loved one or special occasion. The list of “good finds” usually includes clothing, hats, shoes, sunglasses, jewelry, stationery, books, furniture, pictures, paintings, wall art, tools, silverware, pots and pans, plates, drinking glasses, teapots/ teacups, kitchenware, tablecloth, dinner napkins, and much, much more. Taking a stroll down Park Avenue, before or after grabbing a bite to eat, is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening. On your way, you will discover a unique antique shop called Park & 2nd Antiques. This nostalgic store showcases vintage finds, as well as valuable collectibles. Park & 2nd is an antique lover’s paradise. Items range from retro typewriters to rare coins. Tree House is another wonderful discovery. It is not uncommon to visit this lovely establishment and leave with several purchases after being totally mesmerized by the plethora of pieces, great and small. Antiquing is a creative way to spend time alone

or quality time with your kids, partner, or friends. Antique shopping is also proven to be the perfect outing for a girls’ trip or day date with your partner. There are many wonderful benefits to antiquing. Many pieces come from natural resources, such as wood, stone or metals. As such, they last longer than the manmade options in big-box stores today. Buying it secondhand means your purchase requires no new resources and is better for the environment. The investment you make in antique pieces will be well worth it, both for the beauty of your home and for the earth. Another wonderful thing about antique shopping is the convenience. Since you are going to be in downtown Sanford, I recommend a stop at Maya Books and Music. There you will find a great variety of vinyl records. Discover some new music to enjoy in the comfort of your home. The store's shelves also display a vast collection of books in every genre you can think of. The store has an eclectic ambience that sparks the interest of visitors from the moment they enter. Sanford has an exceptional way of making you want to visit over and over again. Several events are hosted throughout the year, one of them being the famous antique car shows.

COVERSTORY

BREAKING

THE CYCLE I BY JENNIFER LUCE

“

Scott opened his heart to our readers and shares his story as he overcame adversity when all odds were against him from the beginning. Born in Winter Park, he moved to Sanford at a young age. Scott grew up with a family that never said, “I love you.” He and his two brothers moved so frequently, he never had a place to call “home.” In fact, he was homeless as a child, always changing schools with no true foundation. Scott dropped out of high school in tenth grade to fend for himself. He later obtained his GED from Seminole State College. During his mission to survive, Scott was surrounded with negative influences, looking for love in all the wrong places, the love he lacked so deeply throughout his childhood years. At age 22, Scott was arrested for driving under the influence. Life is full of ups and downs, and as we all know, with the bad comes the good.

I love riding a bike, it gives me emotional and physical freedom. It provides me with a sense of peace and calms me down if I am agitated. It is not a hobby for me, nor a way to exercise, it is the best therapy!” — Scott Boutin

Soon after that experience, Scott met the love of his life, Chrissy, who later became his wife. It was at that time when he realized he needed

KELLY CLORE WITH KABIKI STUDIOS

n both our personal and professional lives, we are constantly faced with great adversity, most of which we have no control over. What we can control is how we respond, how we adapt and how we take action to prevail. Randy Pausch says it best, “it’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.” I was honored to interview one of our very own Sanfordites, Scott Boutin, and this experience brought me to tears as I remembered the emotional pain I endured from my own struggles over the years. We all are confronted with challenges and sadly, some experience significant defeat repeatedly throughout life. It is difficult to stand back up after being knocked down so many times, but I’ve learned it’s how we react and overcome those challenges that truly help us become a better version of ourselves.

to break the cycle if he ever wanted to pursue his dreams and he now had someone to share them with. When they met, Scott only had a car and two crates to carry his clothing. Regardless of the material things he lacked, Chrissy saw Scott’s potential almost immediately and recognized his genuine heart and his passion to help others. Scott disconnected himself from the friends and family who had negatively impacted his life over the years and focused on making a better life for himself and his new wife. Chrissy and Scott bought their first house together in 2000 and by 2005, he had his mortgage broker license. During this same time, he also opened his own lawn business where he taught himself everything to succeed. He decided to strive for better and obtained his insurance license in 2010. Continuing this career for over ten years, he managed his own office and received gold awards for outstanding production levels, including hitting one million in premiums per year. He did this more than three times!

Even during peak moments when his life seemed to be moving in the right direction, Scott was often brought back to his difficult years, and many times, he didn’t feel deserving. Chrissy watched him relive the pain of his past and encouraged him to focus on the future. She also witnessed Scott battle Generalized Anxiety Disorder, in which he was diagnosed with in 2011. He later started counseling and discovered this disorder was caused by his traumatic experiences as a child and young adult. He was also diagnosed with sleep apnea and lost a significant amount of weight due to the intensity of his work life, and his anxiety caused him to have a distaste for food in general. Over time, he was prescribed many different medications, with trial and error, to see if anything could reduce his anxiety levels. This very experience, another obstacle for him to overcome, led him to conduct his own research on natural supplements that helped with anxiety. Being the self-motivated person he is, Scott took free courses on building his own supplement brand. He developed a true passion wanting to help others conquer the same battles he faced, which led him to establish his own business again. He created a website to offer supplements that help people with anxiety to gain peace and serenity in their lives. The supplements that Scott offers are all natural and even benefit those with sleep deprivation. Because of his own experiences that led to severe

anxiety and depression, Scott is now using his story to help others overcome mental health issues. He shares therapeutic ways to reduce anxiety like spending time outdoors visiting the beach. Scott’s eyes lit up as he described his love for riding his bike. “I love riding a bike, it gives me emotional and physical freedom. It provides me with a sense of peace and calms me down if I am agitated. It is not a hobby for me, nor a way to exercise, it is the best therapy!” He and Chrissy also spend much of their time in the butterfly and bee garden they built at their home, which greatly reduces his anxiety levels. They continue to strive for improvement and live by the motto—enjoy life today because yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is never promised. Scott’s goal is to be the one person that advocates for change in someone’s life. He constantly reminds people that “you don’t have to live where you came from and never allow your surroundings to defeat you.” He knows all too well that no

Some choose to never break the cycle and instead let it define them. Others use the challenges they have faced as steppingstones to achieve success and pursue their dreams! Looking back at my own story and journey, there were many times I wished my hand would’ve been dealt a little differently, but I’ve used those experiences to not only become who I am, but more importantly to never become the type of person I didn’t want to be.

Pushing for Positive Change Behind the Scenes

Attorney William Colbert

BY DANIELLA HUME

ith Sanford roots going back over one-hundred and fifty years, Attorney William Colbert has witnessed firsthand how this beautiful town evolved. Not only did he see it, but he was also part of it. For the past 40 years, Colbert has been Sanford’s City Attorney. “I have participated in a lot of things in the community, I definitely don’t take credit for those things happening,” Colbert tells us, “but I have been fortunate enough to be part of it. And for that, I am very thankful.” Colbert’s ancestors moved to Sanford in 1865. He tells us Sanford was much smaller when he was growing up. “It used to be a very small town. I went to the First Baptist Church in Sanford and so did my doctor, my neighbors. Everyone knew everyone.” He went off to college and then law school, only to find himself back in Sanford after he graduated. He joined the Stenstrom Law Firm in 1971. “A lot has happened in Sanford over the last few decades but if I was picking which events had the most impact, I would boil it down to about five,” Colbert said.

COURTESY STENSTROM, MCINTOSH, COLBERT & WHIGHAM, P.A.

Establishing the Commercial and Residential Historic Districts

When Sanford’s Navy Air Station closed in the 1960s, the population started to dwindle. At the time, the city was in rough shape and a lot of the homes were rented by the week, day and hour. It was clear that changes needed to be made. One commissioner had the idea of creating a historic district and pitched the idea to Colbert. He went ahead and drew up something for the commissioners. Despite hesitation from some, the establishment of the historic district passed. It began to make a difference in the town says Colbert. Property values started to rise, and the city continues to grow in a positive direction. “Some homes there are even on the historic register and that to me is one of the most significant things that has happened to this city in the last 30 years.”

Creating the Community Redevelopment Agency

In the 1970s, there was a group of property owners on First Street that wanted the city to do some improvements like add benches and planters. This group of 10 called themselves the Downtown Development Association. They reached out to Colbert’s law firm and asked for assistance. Colbert and his partner drafted a presentation free of charge and brought it to the city. The proposal read that if these property owners painted 10 buildings and spruced them up, the city, in return, would make improvements to the surrounding areas. It didn’t happen as quick as they wanted, but eventually, all the buildings were painted, and the city started following through with its promise. Despite a lawsuit, the city defended it and won. It started to look good around town, so people wanted to do more. “The way you do more is with the Community Redevelopment Agency,” said Colbert. “So, the city created the CRA and then used tax dollars that were growing to do the improvements that you see today.”

Opening of the Seminole Towne Center

Back in the day, most of the west side of town was made up of vacant fields. There were a few malls outside the city, but nothing close to Sanford. On and off, people talked about putting a mall in town near State Road 46 and I-4. The city manager at the time talked to Colbert about how much he would love to see a mall. He got on the phone with the mayor and told her what they had in mind. Two weeks later, Colbert got another call from the city manager, but this time telling him he had a client interested in building a mall in the very spot they talked about. The rest is history. The footprint of the mall led to other development between downtown and I-4.

Construction of SR-417

Before the toll road was built, there was a debate about where it should go. Some people

didn’t like the idea of a tollway coming through town, saying it would divide the city. However, Colbert made the argument that I-4 runs through Orlando, helping bring more commuters to town. He told them it will be an alternate route for people to travel and have access to Sanford. So, it was decided that it would come to Sanford. “We got the river, we got the railroad, we got the airport, we got the interstate, and we got the bypass,” Colbert said, “We have good access, and having that has really helped the city overall.”

Finding an Airport Operator

When the military left Sanford’s Naval Air Station, the city inherited the property, and it became a private aviation airport. No airlines were going in and out, and there was not much industry around it. As Orlando International Airport got more crowded, there was interest in the airline industry to have a more accessible airport. Colbert saw an opportunity for Sanford. Because the city appoints the airport authority, he encouraged Sanford’s leaders to find an operator for the airport. The authority still manages the airport, but the terminal, the flights, and many improvements were done by the overall management company. They started bringing in charter flights from Europe and South America. That eventually led to Allegiant and other airlines coming in. The airport authority started to concentrate on the development of businesses around the airport. The arraignment brought jobs, revenue, and passengers to the airport. “I truly believe getting that operator approved for the airport has brought a significant boom to Sanford,” Colbert told us. For decades, William Colbert has been involved in Sanford’s growth and prosperity. His time and experience here make him confident in the city’s future. “I think the best days are ahead for Sanford. This is a great time for the city,” he said, “a lot of things are coming together and it’s all for the good.” n

From a Weekend Hobby to a

Maressa Valentin

WORLD RENOWNED BUSINESS BY DANIELLA HUME

hat once started as a weekend hobby now has Maressa Valentin fielding calls from the Food Network, theme parks, and some of the world’s top chefs to collaborate with. This wasn’t always the plan: She had a full-time career in the pharmaceutical industry with the occasional love for weekend-baking as a therapeutic outlet. A now 30-year culinary journey would have her give up the briefcase for a different kind of passion: baking.

8 M Y S A N F O R D M A G A Z I N E | S U M M E R 2 0 21

Before moving to Florida, Maressa started her journey in Puerto Rico, where she was featured in a local newspaper for her baking trends. Over the years, Maressa received requests for her decadent desserts for private events then stridently changed from a hobby to a new profession. She wanted to succeed and commit to investing in classes, learn the art of baking and become diligent on her new journey. “Baking is an expression: it is the only form of art that you can eat after all. From planning, to baking and executing a finished design, there is something unique that allows an edible project to be turned into a happy memory for someone special. That immediate gratification inspires you to move forward.” Maressa’s hobby turned into a new adventure. “Suddenly, I had a business in my hands that required new techniques, new ideas, discipline and the challenge to learn more. When your talents are commissioned to create a celebration piece, you want to get it right and have it end with a smile.” Through her journey, she joined the International Cake Decorating Society for inspiration and trends to share with other talented bakers. With that, she started a mission. Once in Florida, she learned about a new opportunity: The Cottage Food Law, which allowed her to conduct a “home base business” from out of her kitchen. Resulting in a new venue of opportunities ready to be revealed. She took over her whole house with so many tools and gadgets that her husband finally said it was time for a storefront. “…it took time to think and digest all the challenges ahead to this idea because I wanted something unique; a place with a mission, to gather, to get inspired and open to everyone. Like the inspiration you get when you visit an arts and crafts store. Your mind can go all over with ideas. I wanted to provide that same feeling for those in the edible art world.” Maressa and her husband worked for 7 years to come up with a concept. Inspired by her own travels and colleagues, Maressa and her husband got to work, and a new creative venue emerged: The Sweet Chalet Shoppe. “We want to provide a blank canvas for people to get inspired, create sugar work, edible artwork, and masterpieces.” In Spring of 2016, she opened the doors in Sanford with a baker’s supply store, a school, and a place to gather and learn the business of sugar art. In the first few months, it became a trendy place with an opportunity to network and share new skills with local and international pastry chefs. “There are bakers that just need encouragement,

inspiration and new ideas to keep moving with the trends. That is where we come in,” Maressa said. “We found a great opportunity to reach that kind of audience and help them with their creativity and business ventures.” The Sweet Chalet Shoppe becomes known as the home of the cake & sugar artist and a great tool for those who are operating their home base business under the Cottage Food Law. You cannot find commercial products at the grocery store for professional results. The Sweet Chalet Shoppe is the place to shop for those unique supplies. On top of that, they will be at your side, teaching you how to use those products to support your initiatives. Need ideas? Bring your list, tell them what you want to do, and they will help you get started. You can even learn the business part to succeed in your new venture. “After The Sweet Chalet Shoppe appeared on the Food Network at least four times, we realized that our popularity had become global. We started getting emails from fans overseas, and we didn’t know why until discovering that our store had been featured on a tourism show that aired in Germany. We also notice that people who travel to Orlando from far away places, like Africa and Australia, make a point to stop by the store during their visit. If that is not enough, one of the best-known international baking publications listed The Sweet Chalet Shoppe as one of the top five retail stores in the U.S. by popular choice.” It has not always been easy; the pandemic of 2020 makes certain of that. During this time, TSCS adjusted to the new reality, provided curbside services, brought easy baking solutions to the community, and changed their ways to keep moving forward. They Sweet Chalet staff members (l-r): Sam Rivera, CFO; expanded their online store Megan Scala; Maressa Valentin, Owner/CEO; Debbie Martinez and Jarid Altmark. Not pictured: Camille and shifted their business Rivera, Product Development approach with no hesitation. But every sacrifice has its reward and in 2020, The Sweet Chalet, acquired the rights for an established line of Kosher food colors called Artisan Accents & Chocolate Chameleon, as well as their own line of flavors and professional baking solutions like pre-mixes, cake pastry fillings and so much more. The baking community loves it and it sold out last year. Now production for the Artisan Accents Color System is part of The Sweet Chalet Enterprises, LLC, which is new to Sanford and committed to bringing more business to our beloved city. As big as her business has grown, Maressa never forgets her humble beginnings and her mission to share the love of baking to everyone on her path. Families can gather back in the kitchen. “It doesn’t matter what your budget is, if you bring a homemade sweet to someone’s house, it will speak in volumes because you created that with your hands of love.” This little jewel has become an ambassador of our beautiful Sanford! Drawing visitors from over 57 countries around the world, this business has put our city on the map for international tourism. n

(Low inventory x low interest rates) + Out of State Buyers = BUYING FRENZY

But We Have Good News for Both

SELLERS & BUYERS! BY CL AUDIA MUNDLOS

o many, the real estate market might seem like quite a dilemma right now. Not only are buyers challenged in this market, but sellers are left with a burning question as well. After successfully selling their home with multiple offers in just a few days, where do WE go now? Inventory is still at an all-time low. In Sanford, there is less than one month worth of inventory on the market right now. So, to say the market is blazing hot is certainly not an exaggeration. For comparison, a balanced market should have around six months of inventory! Comparing Sanford’s latest data (April/May 2021), home values have increased anywhere from 20-40% over the past year!

José Vicente Rodriguez and Claudia Mundlos

Rather than kicking yourself for not buying last year or the year before, we’d like to point out the bright side of this market. By now, it should be clear that Florida is not in a so-called bubble, but rather an elevator with sustainable prices driven by real demand. Prices continue to go up and real estate is a solid investment, now more than ever, especially when considering the possibility of inflation. Yes, we might see a decrease in prices once inventory and interest rates go up. Don’t we all wish we had a crystal ball into the future? Rather than wait for that to happen, we encourage you to calculate your actual monthly mortgage payment if you were to finance a home today, as opposed to your potential payment in the future calculated with the desired lower sales price. However, remember to include a higher interest rate in that calculation as well. Rather than paying rent for another year or living in a home that you have outgrown, you might as well get moving! Buying a home right now is not for the faint at heart, but if you go in professionally represented with realistic expectations, know what you want and are willing to give it your best shot, everything will be alright!

We also would like to let you know there are options out there and it’s worth exploring them! For example, last year we were able to help several families obtain down payment assistance for their new homes. There are even zero down payment loans available right here in Sanford. And Sellers, don’t despair! Thanks to a new bridge loan program, your offers don’t need to be contingent upon the sale of your home! You, too, can buy and finally use that hard earned equity to move up or downsize! We would be happy to discuss the many options available with you anytime and share the latest market insights so you can make the right move! n We are proud to call Sanford home and as local Realtors with 30+ years combined experience, we hope that one day we will be able to help you and your family with all your real estate needs.

Seminole High School. LIA joins alongside other leadership classes like Men and Women of Excellence, which empowers African Americans. LIA is a curriculum designed to empower Latino youth to lead and strengthen their communities through college and career readiness. This program is in twelve different states all over the United States, and it is part of the curriculum of more than 200 schools. Latinos in Action class accomplishes this by focusing on four pillars: leveraging personal & cultural assets, excelling in education, serving the community, and developing leadership skills. The LIA program allows students to serve as a role model, mentor, and literacy tutor for neighboring elementary school students. Latinos in Action’s first year at Seminole High School has been a successful one. Latinos in Action worked hand in hand with the community. The class partnered with Pine Crest Elementary. Each LIA student had two Pine Crest ESOL students assigned. Twice a week they met with their tutees and help them improve their literacy skills. Jose Colon, President of Seminole High School LIA said, “The opportunity of collaborating with Pine Crest Elementary has been inspiring. As a tutor, it has helped me to develop my communication, professionalism, and empathy.” This has not only helped me, but it has also helped my tutees with their reading and writing skills.” SHS Latinos in Action Class also partnered with City Church this year to help distribute food to the community and during their Thanksgiving food drive. Gretchen Gómez SHS LIA’s Academic VP said, “Distributing food with City Church was an enriching experience. It helped me to have a different perspective; we forget to be grateful for all that we have. Distributing food made me realize how fortunate I am and how thankful I should be.” The class also received various workshops from prominent Hispanic leaders and entrepreneurs and a visit from the famous Dominican writer, Lidia Martinez de Macarrulla. Latinos in Action has been a powerful addition to Seminole High School. n If you would like to become a Latinos in Action mentor and/or would like to partner with the class to help monetarily with the community service activities, please contact Mrs. Danisha Rivera at 787-647-3248.

SUMMER by Amber Clore of A.Clore Interiors

CREATE A NATIVE PICTURE GARDEN

BUILD A BACK YARD COTTAGE

EMBRACE THE OUTDOOR SHOWER

With families of all ages at home so much more now, there is a renewed interest in cultivating flower and vegetable gardens. Native plants are great to incorporate into your garden because they are easy to care for and provide benefits for regional birds and insects. Take into consideration the views from the interior so you have a nice focal point out of your window. Having something interesting outside that changes can bring joy.

Sometimes described as "granny flats", these secondary dwellings are gaining popularity among multi-generational households. They can be pre-assembled and delivered to provide additional shelter for older relatives back from an assisted living facility, adult children needing a temporary home, tenants for additional income, or just to increase functional space like study areas, spare bedroom suites, work from home offices, gyms or meditation areas.

An absolute mainstay in upscale resort communities in places like Hawaii, with huge potential for luxury homes in Florida, private open-air showers and lounging areas will be one of the amenities most requested in residential projects this year. Driven by a deep connection to our natural surroundings, we will see products from stone to wood to more unique designs. It is the perfect addition to your backyard oasis and will add value to your home.

THE OUTDOOR "GREAT ROOM" This year, outdoor and landscape trends reflect the desire to bring the indoors outside. The latest outdoor room trends are using interior design features and amenities to create comfortable outdoor living spaces that are functional and beautiful. There is a multitude of ways to style the many different outdoor spaces, patios, decks, or outdoor kitchens that fit many lifestyles. We are finding that the humble freestanding grill will no longer cut it. Clients are requesting fully equipped outdoor kitchens with fridges, storage space, and custom-built grills. The one-stop-shop of backyards that the whole family can relax and enjoy. With warm days and cool nights come outdoor fêtes, gatherings around the fire pit, and afternoons relaxing by the pool. These outdoor activities are all the more enjoyable when you also have a few interior comforts to enhance the experience!!

WELCOME BACK,

SANFORD! Food & Beverage Lessons Learned from a Pandemic BY LEON KONIECZNY

The previous night, we were people-watching from across the street in front of The Sullivan Public House. Magnolia Square was packed on a Saturday night, typical—before the pandemic—and lots of those folks were waiting to get into “The Tree” as it is known locally. But The Sullivan was packed, too, with standing room only inside, and the two bartenders and barback were busy, as was the kitchen. Next door at The Imperial, the same thing, busy. Earlier that evening, we ate at a favorite, El Zocalo, on Sanford Avenue. Outside, folks were getting ready for the monthly Sanford Avenue Block Party. Eventually, the streets were filled with people enjoying the live band and patronizing the local bars and clubs. It was a remarkably busy night in Sanford. Yes, Sanford is back, and we are so glad. But while Sanford is back and has survived the pandemic, there have also been some changes. The Old Jailhouse has a new chef and menu and has reduced lunch hours to one day a week, on 20 M Y S A N F O R D M A G A Z I N E | S P R I N G 2 0 21

Saturday. The District now only serves dinner 6 days a week. Reservations recommended for both places on the weekend though—a good sign. A few places have not, and most likely, will not reopen. We are sad to see them go, but others have filled the void. Henry’s Depot, whose food court was just getting off the ground as the pandemic started, is going full steam with all food court venues filled and bustling. Sanford Brewing Company and Wops Hops Brewing are pretty much full on weekends now, just like old times. Buster’s Bistro has a new menu and new hours as well. In the middle of the pandemic, Mr. Z’s changed ownership and transformed into Slam Pizza, though now only open 5 days a week. Manikin’s Lounge on Sanford Avenue has expanded into the space next door, another sign of growth. And Shantell’s has added a huge tent in back, more outdoor space for patrons. Retail is surging as well. Magpies Modern Store expanded into a larger space next door, while transforming their former space into clothing—and this occurred during the pandemic. Several new shops have opened on Magnolia Avenue near 3rd, and by the time you read this, Dee’s Brothers Brewery will be open and serving their own brews right across from the Wayne Densch Theater. Tuffy’s remodeled an indoor space and is packing folks into the Music Box on weekends as well—live music and entertainment. And the list goes on and on. Yes, Sanford is back. Events have The returned as well—with a ven“Loggerhead Watermelon Moonshine Lemonade” from Throwbacks. geance. Pints and Paws was a great success in

March, drawing many folks with their fourlegged friends to Sanford. Memorial Day services returned to Veterans Memorial Park on Lake Monroe at the end of May—the event was only virtual one year ago. Most local merchants reported that May 2021 was their best month— ever! In June, the 14th Annual Hurricane Party returned, sponsored by West End, Celery City, and Tuffy’s. It was a huge success with live music, streets closures, and it, too, drew large crowds to Sanford. But perhaps the biggest announcement of the year is that Sanford’s Star-Spangled Fireworks event is back and will take place on the Fourth of July! The Best of Sanford Awards, which was live streamed last year, is set for September 8th in all it’s red carpet glory and the annual Christmas parade will return in December. Sanford is indeed back, and my sense is that Sanford has rebounded and is now stronger than ever. Welcome back, Sanford, and welcome to Sanford. n

Leon Konieczny is a local Central Florida foodie and food blogger who’s been writing about Sanford and Seminole County area “good eats” restaurants for the past twelve years. He’s big into eating at local mom ‘n’ pop shops where high quality ingredients, love, and a dose of home cooking make all the difference. While he occasionally eats at the big chains, he claims it’s only to remind him where a real quality dining experience lurks — in the small restaurants which are the heart and soul of every neighborhood and community.

anford is back and booming, looking a lot like pre-pandemic times. How do I know? Recently, I was out for a Sunday morning walk through downtown, normally a sleepy time downtown. But what did I see? Why, there was a line of people across Magnolia Square, waiting for something. Glancing at my watch, I realized that it was 10:58—Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Café opens at 11 AM. And that is what the line was for, waiting for lunch at Sanford’s premiere destination restaurant.

HENRY'S DEPOT CULINARY COLLECTIVE

BY LEON KONIECZNY

ten sell out early, so strike while the iron is hot. The newest venue at Henry’s Depot is Maggie Dog Specialty Links. Maggie Dog features craft sausages—it also includes game meats like rabbit, buffalo, boar, etc. The varieties may vary, but the menu also includes other northern hot dog classics. The one constant, however, is the classic Chicago style hot dog. And no, it does not have ketchup on it.

hat the heck is a “culinary collective,” and what is one doing inside of an old railroad depot in historic, downtown Sanford? The first railroad depot in Sanford was built in the 1800’s by Henry Plant. In 1940, Henry Plant’s original depot was demolished and a new one built on that site. Rail traffic declined and eventually disappeared, so the building sat empty for many years until Sean Kelly brought his vision and his idea for a culinary collective to Sanford. Henry’s Depot is the result of Sean’s vision to take a grand old building with a glorious history and repurpose it for something new and great.

The culinary collective is not only about dinner and bar drinks, either. Henry’s Depot includes Mahogany Coffee, classic craft coffees made while you wait, many available iced as well. It is so much better than those national chains. And do not forget dessert, head over to The Greenery Creamery, an Orlando-born artisanal

So, what is a culinary collective? Restaurant? Bar and lounge? Entertainment venue? Coffee shop? A local hangout? The answer is yes!—it is all those things. Henry’s Depot features 8 oneof-a-kind tenants — each local, each unique, and each passionate about what they do.

The Basin at Henry’s Depot is a bar/lounge, which includes a large open patio and ample seating for dining or relaxing in a Florida-themed atmosphere. The Basin’s bar features signature and craft cocktails, wines, and a variety of craft beers. While relaxing at The Basin, sipping your favorite beverage, you can order food from any of the seven other establishments that make up the culinary collective. You can order at The Basin or at any individual venue and the food will be delivered right to your table, wherever you are— and there is something for everyone. Dharma Fine Vittles features plant-based BBQ. If you have never tried plant-based food products, you are in for a real treat. You will find it hard to believe that their tasty fare is all meatfree and totally vegetarian. Across the hall, for those who want meat, you will find great craft sandwiches at Salvatore’s Prime Sandwiches where the portions are huge, and the sandwiches are freshly made to order while you wait. While I recommend the Classic Italian, there are many great choices and you will not leave hungry, for sure.

If pizza is your thing, you can head over to get a custom made, oak fired pizza at Oak Flame Pizza. Each pizza is made to order and cooked in their wood-fired oven. Build your own; you will not be disappointed. Perhaps seafood is calling you? Then step across to The Current Seafood Counter. I recommend that you follow them on social media since their standard fare—which is quite tasty—is often supplemented by pop-up specials, such as a whole Maine lobster, fresh gulf shrimp, or other fresh catch of the day. But be aware, the specials of-

ice cream boutique featuring traditional and plant-based, small batch ice creams—think classics, reimagined—and way better. Henry’s Depot Culinary Collective is a great, family-friendly place to gather with family and friends and you will find something for every taste right there. It is a comfortable place to hang out for an hour or an afternoon. All food items can be ordered to-go, too. But whatever you choose, you will not be disappointed, of this, I am sure. n
