» Steps taken toward opening Orange Avenue downtown to vehicles on weekends
In another change to nightlife in downtown Orlando, the city implemented the second phase of a plan that could fundamentally change the flow of both pedestrian and vehicle traffic on Orange Avenue. Starting Friday, Jan. 17, existing barricades placed along a stretch of Orange Avenue downtown after the Halloween shooting in the area in November were expanded to include center-lane barricades on Pine Street and Central Boulevard. It’s in part an effort to instill habits in downtown pedestrians to stay on, or in close proximity to, sidewalks. The roads are currently still closed to cars. This is all in service to theoretically making downtown at night a safer proposition for Orlandoans. There is no exact date yet for the Orange Avenue switchover, which will open all three lanes of the street to automobiles on weekends — and eventually, turn the one-way street into a two-way thoroughfare.
» Orlando holiday drone show crash caused by several data errors, reports says
The National Transportation Safety Board has released its preliminary report on the Orlando holiday light show drone crash on Dec. 21 that injured a 7-year-old in attendance. The report concludes that “combined errors” before the start of the show led to a misaligned flight path for the aircrafts, causing some of the 500 drones to crash into each other and plummet. Several drones were also not receiving launch data up until five minutes before the show started. Video of the show confirmed the aircraft did not launch in uniform layers as intended, causing them to shift position and altitude, which contributed to the collisions and loss of control. In addition, the aircraft operator also reported the show position was rotated by 7 degrees — a misalignment that led to the “geo hard fence being too close to the audience.” This fence was set at 5 meters rather than the industry standard of 1 meter. The NTSB’s investigation into the incident is reportedly ongoing. The mess of a show, put on by Sky Elements, saw several drones collide and plunge into a crowd of hundreds at Lake Eola Park during peak holiday season. A 7-year-old boy was hit by a falling drone, and reportedly had to undergo emergency open-heart surgery due to his injuries the following day.
» Brightline onboard attendants vote yes on union
Nearly 100 onboard service attendants for Brightline’s passenger rail system voted to unionize with the Transport Workers Union, establishing the first union of Brightline workers in Florida. The union election — taking place by mail, over a span of about two months — came after union-busting tactics first deployed by Brightline shortly after the union announced the organizing drive publicly in August. Brightline’s president emailed anti-union propaganda to employees, and the for-profit railroad also hired lawyers from the notorious union avoidance law firm Littler Mendelson to represent them as the union drive was underway. Littler Mendelson has also represented companies like McDonald’s and Starbucks that have also launched aggressive, anti-union campaigns in the face of worker organizing. According to the National Mediation Board, overseeing labor relations in the rail and airline industries, workers voted 30 to 17 in favor of unionization, out of 87 eligible voters. According to the union, attendants formed a union to address issues such as wages, job benefits, and safety.
» Kissimmee nurses accuse HCA of flouting new floating policy despite danger to patients
Registered nurses at HCA’s Osceola Hospital in Kissimmee rallied last Thursday as part of a national day of action with their union, National Nurses United. The union represents more than 200,000 nurses across the U.S. Nurses locally say that staffing levels continue to be a major concern at their hospital, which happens to be one of HCA’s top 50 most profitable. HCA is a Nashville-based company that has been accused of understaffing hospitals in Florida and elsewhere multiple times over the years by members of unions like NNU and the SEIU. Elisabeth Mathieu, a RN at HCA Osceola and chief representative for her union, said HCA is also violating a floating policy in nurses’ union contract that requires HCA to only float nurses to units that they
are properly trained for. Mathieu, who’s worked at HCA Osceola since 1997, compared it to allowing a foot doctor to perform brain surgery — it’s not ideal to have someone who isn’t trained in a particular area to oversee the health and safety of patients. HCA did not respond to Orlando Weekly’s request for comment on the accusation.
» Orlando bar owner, partner indicted on multiple child pornography charges The former owner of Orlando bar and LGBTQ+ community hub Southern Nights has been indicted on multiple counts related to child pornography. Richard Kowalczyk, owner of Southern Nights Orlando and Tampa, and his partner, Eric Patrick, were indicted by the U.S. District Court Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division. The indictment says Kowalczyk participated in conversations on private messaging platform Telegram that go back as far as 2019. The “graphic exchanges” found on Kowalczyk’s phone during the investigation reportedly included images and videos featuring minors suspected to be as young as 7 years old. Teams for Southern Nights and District Dive, in a statement shared with Orlando Weekly, say Kowalczyk has transferred his ownership and “will step aside from all responsibilities.” They add, “Southern Nights & District Dive has always strived to be a safe space for everyone. Being an LGBTQ+ nightclub, we are constantly standing in the face of adversity. We have fought hard for our reputation and for our community. The allegations that have recently come to light are not ones we take lightly, and absolutely do not condone. Our businesses have no involvement in these allegations. We are committed to continuing to maintain our locations as the place they have always been: a place of community and a safe place where people can go and enjoy themselves.”

SIGNS OF LIFE
Overdose deaths
in
Central Florida went down in 2023. Will Big Pharma settlement money help speed the decline?
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
It’s been a devastating and life-changing few years for hundreds of thousands of people across the United States who either use illicit drugs or care about someone who does.
In 2023, for the first time since before the pandemic, the number of U.S. drug overdose deaths fell from a record high of more than 111,000 deaths in 2022 to about 107,000 in 2023.
Although a sign of progress, welcomed by many, it’s still a shocking figure — more than double the number of overdose deaths reported a decade ago. The surge has largely been driven by illegally manufactured forms of fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid that can severely depress the central nervous system and slow or stop breathing. Just a couple of milligrams of the drug can be deadly for someone who’s never taken it before.
Experts say that fentanyl has increasingly been found laced into other drugs in recent years, including cocaine, meth, heroin and counterfeit pills — often unbeknownst to the user.
In Florida, the rising number of overdose deaths — a majority of which involve fentanyl — prompted state lawmakers in 2023 to decriminalize fentanyl test strips, which can help people detect fentanyl in their drugs.
Both the state and the federal government have also expanded access to naloxone (also known by the brand name Narcan), a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose and save lives.
Efforts to prevent fatal overdose — and protect families from life-shattering news — have had some success in Florida. State data shows that in 2023, drug overdose deaths declined about 5 percent statewide, the most significant sign of progress since before the pandemic.
With communities around the country beginning to see funds trickle in from settlement agreements with opioid manufacturers found responsible for contributing to the opioid epidemic, many are starting to see a decline in overdose deaths.
Experts have attributed this, in part, to initiatives expanding access to naloxone, evidence-based addiction treatment for opioid use disorder, and public awareness campaigns.
According to Project Opioid, an Orlandobased nonprofit on a mission to combat the drug overdose crisis, advocates are beginning to see signs of recovery in Central Florida.
“The repetition of death and carnage we’ve seen from the opioid crisis and from fentanyl being pumped into our society has been unlike any tragedy we’ve seen in modern history,” said Project Opioid founder Andrae Bailey at a press conference in downtown Orlando Monday. “But today, I think we see light at the end of the tunnel.”
Overdose deaths in Orange County — one of the state’s most populous counties — dropped from 439 deaths in 2021 to 410 in 2023, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, compiled by Project Opioid.
Data from the Medical Examiner’s Office, provided to Orlando Weekly , shows at least four of the people who died of drug-related causes in 2024 were teenagers. All four deaths involved fentanyl.
At least nine of those who died of overdose that year were identified as “transient,” meaning they were homeless. But most were not, and had a Florida address.
In Seminole County — a county with about one-third of Orange County’s population — overdose deaths dropped from 169 deaths in 2021 to 123 in 2023. In Osceola County, south of Orange, overdose deaths slightly increased, from 124 deaths in 2021 to 149 deaths in 2023.
Following the money
All three municipalities are in the process of allocating funds they received from the national opioid settlements through a process overseen by the state and federal government.
“We have historic amounts of money in every county in this state that come from Big Pharma, who were sued, who were responsible,” said Bailey. “How is that money being used?”
Bailey didn’t know the answer when Orlando Weekly asked if he could clarify how that money is being spent in Central Florida.
Nor did Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma, who was in attendance at the downtown Orlando press conference (while Orange and Osceola County sheriffs were not). Lemma, evidently a “tough on crime” kind of guy, has helped lead efforts to address the overdose crisis in Seminole County from a law enforcement perspective and sits as delegate chair on the Statewide Council on Opioid Abatement, a body that coordinates state and local efforts to address the opioid epidemic and overdose crisis.
A website for the statewide council, however, offers a database of plans submitted by Florida municipalities to the council, outlining what they expect to do with their funds.
Some plans are more detailed than others.
A plan submitted by Seminole County, for instance, shows the county plans to earmark a “TBD” amount of money for the Sheriff’s Office’s collaborative opioid response team.
A budget proposal presentation from the Sheriff’s Office, for the 2024-25 fiscal year, shows the agency requested $1.26 million in opioid settlement funds to retain staff on the Seminole Collaborative Opioid Response Efforts team, and to support a “Hope & Healing” addiction treatment facility that opened in 2021 as a collaboration between the Sheriff’s Office, the county and Advent Health.
The plan submitted to the state shows that Seminole County plans to allocate $750,000 for that treatment facility this fiscal year.
They’ve also allocated $1.45 million for unspecified “prevention” strategies and other treatment and recovery services, including wrap-around services such as housing and transportation for those with substance use disorder.
Orange County, meanwhile — which is expected to receive over $50 million over the next 15 years from the settlements — allocated about $800,000 from July 2023 to June 2024 for initiatives such as naloxone and fentanyl test strip distribution, support for incarcerated (or recently released) people with addiction — who account for one in five overdoses in the county — a mobile treatment clinic, and public awareness campaigns.
Dr. Thomas Hall, a substance use treatment provider and director of the county’s Office for a Drug-Free Community, said the goal is to spend closer to $3.5 to $4 million annually for the first five years they receive funds.
“This year, we’re going to spend probably triple that amount,” Hall told the county’s Opioid Advisory Committee in November. “Which is good news.”
The board meets quarterly, with representatives of law enforcement, paramedic services and healthcare providers present. Dr. Hall told the board they recently managed to softlaunch their highly anticipated “Better Access to Treatment” mobile clinic — which they call the BATmobile.
The county has also used settlement funds to increase capacity for a no-cost residential treatment program, run by the nonprofit STEPS, that specifically serves low-income pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorder. Urgent care and emergency department visits for drug overdose in Orange County have consistently declined since early 2023, according to data collected by the committee. So have most all types of fatal overdose — including overdoses involving fentanyl.
“I think naloxone has been — not gonna call it the magic bullet — but at least it’s definitely assisting in the endeavors,” said Lt. Shane
Dejarnet, of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. In 2024 alone, Project Opioid — a recipient of Orange County settlement funds — said they distributed over 100,000 doses of naloxone and conducted more than 100 overdose reversal trainings across Central Florida. “We’re getting naloxone out in ways we haven’t before,” said Bailey.
“Any community not distributing naloxone, not giving medications for people struggling with drugs — any community that doesn’t have a clear path for a young person when they’re struggling and not using the billions of dollars that their counties and all of their leaders have been given, should be asked tough questions,” he added. “And the death rate tells you the truth.”
Based on preliminary data, Lemma said he projects a 42 percent drop in fatal overdoses in Seminole County in 2024 — noting that while they saw 427 overdoses last year, only 66 were fatal.
“I don’t want people to hear about the reductions and just take a victory lap and think that our work is done,” Lemma cautioned.“The hard work still lies ahead of us, but what we’ve seen here in Central Florida, and we’ve seen, quite frankly, across the state of Florida, is a shifting paradigm when it comes to substance use disorder.”
More people are talking openly about struggles with addiction, he explained. More people are seeking help, or otherwise have access to it where they previously did not.
Lemma said his office has also lobbied state legislators to toughen penalties for those who sell drugs like fentanyl to deter drug sales and trafficking.
“We now have the ability to charge a drug dealer with a second degree felony, culpable negligence, when we can prove that they dealt drugs and we revived the patient — the victim — with the use of an opioid antagonist,” said Lemma, referring to naloxone. “And that was pretty significant.”
He said they’re looking to do the same thing this year for xylazine (also known as “tranq”), a non-opioid sedative that can compound the deadly effects of opioids when mixed together.
Xylazine, a drug that has historically been used only in veterinary medicine, isn’t affected by Narcan, and can cause other serious health problems, like ulcers and skin infections.
A bill has already been filed for consideration during the 2025 Florida legislative session, beginning in early March, that would provide criminal penalties for the possession, sale, manufacturing, or trafficking of xylazine.
The bill, HB 57, is sponsored by Central Florida Republicans in the Florida House.
“What we’re doing is now we’re lobbying the legislative body to make sure that the [mandatory minimums] and the same penalties for trafficking xylazine match the penalties for trafficking fentanyl and other substances,” Lemma said.

PREMATURE ACCELERATION
DeSantis releases a list of immigration proposals he expects the Legislature to pass in an early session
BY MITCH PERRY, FLORIDA PHOENIX
Two days after Florida’s GOP legislative leaders said that they were not aware of any specific guidance from Donald Trump about his plans to combat illegal immigration, Gov. Ron DeSantis responded Wednesday with a detailed list of proposals he expects the Legislature to approve when it convenes in the special session he has called for later this month.
“We are not approaching the new administration in a lackadaisical fashion,” DeSantis said during a press conference at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. “We in Florida have a sense of urgency to accomplish this mission, and the mission is very simple. We need to end the illegal immigration crisis once and for all in these United States of America.”
The proposals he said he wants the Legislature to pass during the special session he called for
Jan. 27 include:
• Requiring that city, county, and state law enforcement officers have “maximum” participation in any program to assist the federal government in enforcing federal immigration laws.
• Enacting criminal penalties for illegal entry under state law.
• Appointing a state immigration enforcement officer to coordinate with federal authorities.
• Empowering local authorities to detain and deport undocumented immigrants.
• Broadening the legal definition of “gang-related activities” so that it includes undocumented immigrants.
• Education and voting reform to discourage undocumented immigrants.
POLSKY TAKES EXCEPTION
Florida Democrat files bill to change six-week abortion ban after mother was forced to watch her newborn suffocate
BY JACKIE LLANOS, FLORIDA PHOENIX
Democratic state Sen. Tina Polsky filed a bill Thursday changing the definition of fatal fetal abnormality in the Florida law banning most abortions after six weeks’gestation.
The Democrat representing parts of Palm Beach and Broward counties decided to file SB 288 after hearing about a Florida woman who had to watch her baby suffocate for 94 minutes after birth while Florida’s 15-week abortion ban
• Tightening voter registration laws to ensure that only Florida citizens can legally vote.
• Increasing penalties for undocumented immigrants who commit voter fraud.
• Imposing ID verification for foreign remittances.
• Bail and flight risk presumptions when undocumented are brought up on charges.
• Repeal of the 2014 law allowing undocumented students to pay in-state tuition rates to Florida colleges and universities.
Attacks on legislative leaders
Throughout the press conference, DeSantis issued implicit (and later explicit) verbal attacks on Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez for their response to him that it was “premature” to host a special legislative session, saying it “appalls me to see these guys run for office, tell the voters what they want to hear, and they get in and they get amnesia.”
Joining DeSantis at the press conference was Attorney General Ashley Moody, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey and Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, all of whom trashed the Biden administration’s record in enforcing immigration laws over the past four years and welcomed Trump’s plans for mass deportations to begin shortly after he takes office.
Judd said it is imperative for the Trump administration to eliminate federal regulations that he described as “woke/left.”
“Listen, those of you that are writing for the Trump administration, get that crap out, and
let us do what we do best,” he said.
Two DeSantis allies in the Florida Senate — Republican Hillsborough County state Sen. Jay Collins and Hernando County state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia — also joined the governor. Ingoglia sponsored the major anti-illegal immigration bill in the Senate in 2023, strongly pushed by DeSantis at that time.
“We need to go on Day One — ready on Day One — so these guys can do their job,” Ingoglia said, referring to Polk County sheriff’s deputies who stood behind him.
“The Biden administration was literally tearing the walls down and fostering more and more illegal immigration. Now we’re debating whether we want to do this now or wait? … We should not hesitate. We should not equivocate. We should do everything we can working hand in hand with the Trump administration, through our great governor Ron DeSantis, and get this done.”
DeSantis later told reporters that he was “surprised” by the letter that Albritton and Perez wrote rejecting his call for a special session.
“You’re basically saying that after four years of Biden’s really, really destructive immigration and border policies that it’s somehow premature for us to act with a new president coming in? Are you kidding me? This is the time to act. We don’t have time to wait, and it’s never premature to do the right thing.”

was in effect, according to a press release.
Deborah Dorbert shared her experience about carrying her baby to term despite knowing about a kidney defect while advocating in favor of the unsuccessful amendment to enshrine abortion access in Florida’s Constitution.
Under Polsky’s bill, only one physician instead of two would have to determine if an abortion is medically necessary when a fatal fetal
abnormality is incompatible with prolonged life and would result in death shortly after birth.
The change would allow for more flexibility in cases in which the abnormality doesn’t cause immediate death.
“Having now lived under Florida’s abortion law since May of last year, it’s become clear that healthcare providers are unable to apply the ban’s originally intended exceptions under the law as currently written,” Polsky wrote in a press release.
“While I may personally oppose the overall ban, this bill is not intended to change the substantive provisions. It’s about making sure that the exceptions that the sponsors intended to exist — for cases involving fatal fetal abnormalities, and when a pregnant woman’s health is at risk — provide clear guidance to physicians.”
Additionally, the bill would change the exceptions when the health and life of the pregnant person are at risk.
The existing exception allows abortions beyond six weeks’ gestation to save the life of the mother or if continuing the pregnancy would cause substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function. The change would extend the exception to prolong someone’s life and if carrying the pregnancy
would result in a medical condition related to a major bodily function, even if the damage is not permanent.
Abortions to prevent impairment to the patient’s fertility and psychological harm would also count as medically necessary, according to the bill.
“Passage of SB 288 would clarify the statute and ensure that women aren’t being harmed due to their doctors’ and their hospital’s inability to decipher confusing statutory language,” Polsky wrote. “Let’s allow doctors to care for their patients and save lives before it’s too late.”
In September, a report from the nonprofit Physicians for Human Rights found that Florida’s abortion ban led physicians and other health care providers to delay treatment for patients facing life-threatening complications out of fear of criminal charges and loss of their medical license.
Another exception in the six-week ban allows survivors of rape, incest and human trafficking to get abortions up to 15 weeks’ gestation if they can provide documents such as a restraining order, police report or medical record. SB 288 doesn’t make changes to that section of the law. news@orlandoweekly.com
Once Stella Nova launches successfully, it should become Orlando’s smartest spot to spend your next staycation
We’re only five months away from May’s official opening of Orlando’s first brandnew theme park since the turn of the millennium, and the buzz building around Epic Universe is becoming deafening. After spending years scouring through construction permits, press releases and aerial photographs in order to write a guidebook about Universal Orlando’s eagerly anticipated expansion, last week I finally got my first opportunity to set foot on the new campus, located on former Lockheed Martin land near the Orange County Convention Center. The occasion was a media preview of Stella Nova Resort, the first of three new Loews-operated hotels located alongside the upcoming park, which welcomed its first paying guests Tuesday, Jan. 21. And although I didn’t get to stay overnight, if my first impressions are accurate, these celestial-themed properties are about to raise the bar for value-priced hotel rooms into upper orbit.
Both Stella Nova and Terra Luna — its sibling hotel across the street that opens on March 25 — are instantly identifiable by the 144,000 color-changing dichroic glass tiles covering their curved exteriors, which rotate through a rainbow of hues as you shift your viewing angle. That show-stopping exterior will get all the attention from influencers, but once I stepped inside the inviting lobby, my eye was instantly drawn to the arching white walls, elaborate overhead lighting fixtures and gleaming terrazzo floors. The gorgeous Googie design flourishes extend outside, from the expansive organic-shaped pool (the 10,000 square feet of water was delightfully warm despite the winter weather) to the comfy curved couches gracing the Galaxy Bar and Grill.
All these elevated architectural elements appear influenced by the same “Space Age”
jumped into the deep end
aesthetic that birthed Disneyland’s beloved House of the Future. Such inspired adaptation of mid-century aesthetics in service of affordable accommodations has become a signature of Russ Dagon, Universal’s senior vice president of resort development, who led the creation of Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort and Endless Summer Inn and Suites, among many others.
“We work hand in hand with Loews on all that, because everything we do, they’ve got to be able to maintain and keep clean and make it a compelling guest experience, so that it’s compelling a year from now, not just on day one,” says Dagon, regarding Stella Nova’s use of vintage finishes to evoke a timeless retro-future.
That subtly extraterrestrial vibe extends to the 750 standard 315-square-foot guest rooms, which all sport double queen beds, cosmic images from the James Webb telescope, and iconic spaceship-esque curved windows that are certain to go viral in vacation selfies. “We had challenges pulling that off, but they look spectacular and it does set the tone for the room; you don’t feel as if you’re in a traditional hotel room,” says Dagon. “We played with that five years ago in the model room to make sure that we could do it right.”
When Terra Luna comes online, Dagon says it will offer a “different color palette” that focuses on earth tones like green and brown, rather than Stella Nova’s celestial teals and purples. But otherwise, he says guest rooms at both hotels “from a functional standpoint, identical; from an experiential standpoint, I’d say they’re parallel.”
However, there will be a couple key differences between the two properties. First, only Terra Luna will offer a dedicated vegan menu in its café; they’ll run a separate kitchen dedicated to preparing plant-based food. I didn’t get to sample
the vegan dishes, but I did sample some pancakes, hot honey chicken pizza, and cornflake-crusted croissants stuffed with cream cheese and berries (my favorite) from Cosmos Café, Stella Nova’s casual three-meal restaurant.
Second, and perhaps more importantly, although pedestrian access is possible from both hotels, only Stella Nova advertises a direct walking path to Epic Universe. I wasn’t able to walk that path, but the hotel’s parking lot lies tantalizingly close to Super Nintendo World, providing backstage views of Mount Beanpole and Donkey Kong’s Mine-Cart Madness roller coaster. Guests staying here might be even closer to that groundbreaking ride — which will likely garner long lines as soon as early entry hour starts — than those coming from the upscale Helios Grand Hotel attached to the rear of the park.
Stella Nova’s proximity to 2025’s hottest new attractions should be enticing enough to fill its beds this summer and for months to come, which makes it somewhat shocking to see Universal offering rates under $150 per night (with a fournight minimum). In fact, under Loews’ revamped hotel classifications, pricing for Universal’s Prime Value properties like these overlaps with Value Inn & Suites like Cabana Bay. Add in the fact that only three of the top-tier Signature Collection resorts include unlimited Express passes — which won’t work at Epic Universe anyway — and everything you previously knew about where to stay on-site at Universal Orlando is about to be upended. Assuming that Stella Nova clears its pre-flight checks and launches successfully, it could become Orlando’s smartest spot to spend your next staycation without spending the sun and moon.

ALL THEY KNEAD IS LOVE
J’adore the French Bakery in Altamonte Springs is a croissant and bread lover’s dream
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Teddy and Sophia Dumoulin arrived in Florida just three months ago, having sold their home and bakery in France with the intent of establishing a bakery just like the one they had back home. And while the Altamonte Springs/Longwood border in no way resembles the quaint village of Saint-Geniès-desMourgues, the breads and pastries being crafted out of J’adore’s kitchen in the Sand Lake Center are just as good as you’d get in that quaint little village in the south of France. “Even bet-teur,” says Teddy in his accented English.“I don’t know why, but the croissants I make here are superior.”
I just hope he feels the same way when those humid summer days roll around.
Now, I have no shame in saying that I’m a proper putain de croissants, walking the mean
streets of every city I travel to in search of tricks of the laminated-dough variety. It took me a while to find this one, however. The marquee above the bakery is blank, but Abdul — the friendly proprietor at Mediterranean Food Market at the other end of this plaza — took pity on me after witnessing my hapless meanderings.
“It’s over there,” he said, pointing to other end of the plaza. And when I walked into J’adore, it appeared that Abdul had directed many others this way. The place was packed, and it was past noon on a Sunday. I took my place in line and was able to snag a croissant ($3.70), pain au chocolat ($3.70), quiche au fromage ($10) and a Paris-Brie sandwich ($12.50) and took them all home for closer examination. A cross-sectional analysis of both croissant and pain au chocolate

J’ADORE THE FRENCH BAKERY

revealed the sort of layered bubbling indicative of a master baker. Dumoulin’s freezer is stocked with sheets of Isigny Sainte Mère French butter, while the back of the kitchen is stacked with large bags of Bagatelle T45 pastry and bread flour, also from France. The latter is used to make J’adore’s French baguettes, which are then sliced and stuffed to make superb handhelds. Whether it’s the “Le Pâté” ($11.50), with its slabs of country forcemeat ($11.50) punched up with cornichons and black pepper, or the aforementioned Paris-Brie with French butter, French ham and, oui, French brie, there are no wrong choices here.
That flour is also used to make their “traditional” baguette. For this version, the dough is refrigerated overnight, and the cold retardation yields a beautifully caramelized loaf with a soft crumb and slightly nutty flavor. Enjoy it for breakfast (they’re open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.) with French butter and Bonne Maman raspberry or strawberry jam and your choice of coffee or orange juice for $10. Add a croissant or pain au chocolat for $2 more. If you get one of these tubular beauties to go, it’ll be handed to you the way they do in France — with a small piece of deli paper wrapped around the middle of the loaf for gripping.
A more substantial breakfast option is quiche — both the vegetable, with its mix of peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and nutmeg blended with Monterey Jack cheese ($11), and the savory, with five different cheeses ($11), are accentuated by a perfect shortcrust pastry. It’s no wonder Dumoulin bakes with such effortless precision — he’s been doing it since he was 11 years old. Even quit school at the age of 14 to pursue his passion for baking. When he sleeps, I don’t know: “I’m here every day at 3 a.m. and often stay until 11 p.m.,” says the now 40-year-old artisan.
But if there’s one pastry he’s particularly proud of and would recommend to everyone, it’s the “Altamonte Cross” ($3.50) — a small brioche in the shape of a cross draped in custard that’s cooked, cooled, brushed with melted butter and dipped in caster sugar. Well, of course it’s every bit as good as it sounds, but so is the apple turnover with a house-made filling ($5) and the crispy bacon sacristain ($4.20), a twisty specialty from the south of France.
But for me, it’s all about the croissants, humanity’s finest pastry (don’t @ me). J’adore this French bakery, and all you croissant sluts out there will too.

HE’S GOING TO DISNEY WORLD?
Michigander’s Jason Singer is excited to play his new songs in Orlando … and maybe meet Mickey Mouse
BY KYLE NARDINE
Jason Singer really wants to go to Disney World.
“We are trying to finagle our way in there on a day off,” says Singer on the horn from Nashville.“We have never been to Disney World. I would really like to see the Star Wars thing.”
But before Singer goes to Disney, he has to actually visit Orlando first. And he will on Wednesday, when his alternative-rock project Michigander makes a stop at the Social along with Sydney Sprague.
Singer’s introduction to music came when he found an old guitar in his father’s closet, and desperately wanted to play.
“They had a Teen section, and I remember Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay was there, and Transatlanticism by Death Cab, and there was the White Stripes and Oasis,” says Singer about the library. “There were all these bands there that were impactful to my sound and quote-unquote process.”
Those library trips were influential for Singer, and shaped the type of music that he wanted to create.
“Something about the music that just drew me,” says Singer about the CDs he would check out from the library. “It felt big, and it felt genuine. I remember putting those CDs on my parents’ computer and ripping them and putting them on my old iPod and being in the lunchroom and being like, ‘This is so crazy.’”
Those memories stuck with Singer, and you can hear the bigness in the music that Michigander creates. Recently, Michigander turned a decade old, and there’s no better way to celebrate than to release a new record.
Michigander’s self-titled LP will be released in February, Singer’s first full-length album after a decade of releasing EPs. Much like how Singer might react when waiting in line for Space Mountain or the Tower of Terror, he was hesitant about moving forward. But he felt like it was time to release the record.
“I felt like I was ready for it,” says Singer of his new record. “I felt naturally ready for it and the songs were there. I felt like I was good enough to create it, and everything was firing on all cylinders. I wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t good enough. There’s no reason to do that. Everything came together and it was the time to do it. Ten years in, too, and it feels like I’m ready for it. Like I’m hitting a deadline in a way.”
Taking his time also meant Singer could produce the record he truly wanted. He not only learned lessons musically making the record, but life lessons as well.

The Social 54 N. Orange Ave. foundation-presents.com $20
this one, I’m going home.’ I grilled up a bratwurst and drank a beer and went home. It was nice and I didn’t even spend the night there. That song is the anthem for the people-pleasers.’’
Singer will no doubt let us know when he finds the answer to people-pleasing, but he offers other lessons on the upcoming record. The song “Peace of Mind” is about how the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
“That song is about living rich on minimum wage and how money doesn’t solve all your problems,” says Singer. “Falling in love doesn’t solve all your problems. We are humans and we are always wanting more. We are never satisfied and I don’t know if we will ever be.”
Human nature aside, Singer is satisfied in one area and that’s being able to have new music to play on tour. He’s looking forward to playing the new songs, and adjusting his setlist accordingly.
“Playing the older songs doesn’t feel genuine to me anymore,” says Singer. “The newer songs are a better representation of who I am now. Everyone has good memories of their past, but also some people are glad they have changed as a person. I am glad I have changed as a person, but sometimes it is hard to play those songs sometimes because you feel like they aren’t good enough or you don’t resonate with the message and the lyrics.
“I’m looking forward to having a whole album of new music and retiring some of the older songs.”
“‘That seems cool, I want to learn that,’” says Singer about his dad’s guitar. “So I got some chord charts. I would print out chord charts and tabs and learn songs. I felt like playing the guitar was cool. I wasn’t really good at anything else, but I was the best at guitar at that age (but not anymore). I felt like it was my outlet or it was my sport because I played it so much. I was the kid who carried the guitar around in school.”
Singer also would be helped by going to a place that is just as, if not more, magical than Disney: his local public library. Having a library card is a lifelong FastPass to knowledge and, in Singer’s case, CDs.
“I wanted to make my best work and work hard doing it. I wanted to make sure the songs were good and that I believed in them. As far as the production, I got to record it in Nashville where I live now, and make it with my producer Jeremy Lutito. We could work on it as much as we wanted, but we could work on it for a week and then take a break,” says Singer. “We had an attitude on the songs where we could zoom out and be like, ‘This needs to change’ or ‘That song’s not good.’ It was really helpful. We could take our time with it. I learned to slow down, take our time, and do it how you want to do. And [to] make it with your friends; that is important, too.”
Another lesson Singer learned? At times it’s good to quit while you’re ahead. He learned this on a trip to a cabin when writing the song “Giving Up” for the record.
“At the top of 2024 I went away to a little cabin and I was like, ‘I’m gonna write some songs,’” Singer explains.
“I was gonna stay the night. I got my guitar and I started working and then ‘Giving Up’ was the first song I wrote. I went, ‘I’m not gonna top
The upcoming tour will be Singer’s first time in many of the cities in the Sunshine State and he’s coming with a ton of touring experience. In the past couple of years he has played with Foxing, Manchester Orchestra and Andrew McMahon.
“I learned how to be confident in myself, and be serious in what I do, but don’t take myself too seriously,” says Singer about what he’s learned on previous tours. “That is their vibe and they all work super hard and take their craft seriously, but there’s a line between being serious and professional and taking yourself seriously. Being around those guys has been cool to watch and be inspired by.”
Singer will be spending a decent amount of time in Florida, with five shows up and down the state. Previously, he has only visited the Panhandle and is looking forward to seeing what Florida has to offer.
“I don’t know anything about Florida,”explains Singer. “I’ve been to Destin, Florida. We are diving into Florida and we have five shows there. I am truthfully excited for the Orlando show, and excited to check out Orlando. ”

LOCAL RELEASES
Two songs that still hold hallowed canonical status with bass and electro aficionados are The Beat Club’s “Security”and Eon’s “Spice.”That shit’s not even up for debate, especially here in Orlando where our penchant for funky beats is enshrined in dance-music history. These two bangers have climaxed dance floors around here ever since they came out in 1988 and 1990, respectively. That’s why many may find the new release by Orlando artist Arcade Apocalypse of particular interest. Free Plays Vol. 1 is a two-track drop of Arcade Apocalypse’s cover versions of both “Security” and “Spice.” What makes this even more Orlando is that Arcade Apocalypse has translated these dance classics into another genre that also has storied club history here.
As a heart-on-sleeve retro synth act that employs actual hardware synthesizers and drum machines, Arcade Apocalypse takes “Security” and “Spice” back to roughly the same original time but to a very different place. In a take both alternate and alternative, these versions are now EBM stompers. Pounding, mechanical and imposing, the songs on Free Plays Vol. 1 play like lost anthems of the classic industrial dance era. It’s an imaginative stroke that takes jams that rocked The Edge and makes them sound straight out of Visage. (IYKYK.)
Free Plays Vol. 1 is on YouTube and Bandcamp as a name-your-price download.

well-curated intersections of the area underground’s most interesting corridors. This latest seven-act lineup combines Black Wick (the warped musical vehicle of IP label boss Joshua Rogers), left-field rapper Snotnoze Saleem, avant-garde chameleon Derek Dunn, garage punks Los Jarritos, dronegazer Danielfuzztone, ambient droner Pothole Skinny and noise hero Dylan Houser. To complete the alternate reality, Rogers’ own Broken Machine Films will provide visuals. All told, this is as current, colorful and stacked a primer to Oddlando as it gets. (7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, Uncle Lou’s, $10)
Sparta, Here Here, Like Father: OK, for real this time. Sparta was one of the many concerts that were unceremoniously aborted last October due to Hurricane Milton. But now that it’s the one time of year when our weather isn’t an asshole, the El Paso indie heroes are kicking off 2025 with a special run to make up the two
canceled Florida shows (us and Miami) and finally celebrate the 20th anniversary of second LP Porcelain. As classic a Sparta record as they come, Porcelain is a post-hardcore masterpiece that goes down in history as a triumphant balance between accessibility and intelligence. Opening will be Orlando emo bands Here Here and Like Father. (7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25, Will’s Pub, $30)
The Dirty Nil: You know how I often try to champion brainy music here? I just do it in the hope that it makes me look smart. Really, deep down, I just wanna fucking RAWK like everybody else. Few bands right now feed that need quite like Canada’s The Dirty Nil. Their big, kicking rock combines 1970s bombast and 1990s punk edge into a stadium-sized sound. Opening will be California punks Grumpster, Virginia alt-rockers House & Home and Orlando garage rockers Kyle & the 8-Minute Miles. (6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 26, Conduit, $20)
Smalltalk, Backstep, Saucers Over Washington, Dayspells: Didn’t I tell you shoegaze was en vogue again? This fuzz-worshipping lineup is yet another case in point. Topping the bill is Savannah band Smalltalk, who operate on the unimpeachable principle that the best accompaniment to pretty melodies is thick shoegaze haze. The Orlando openers will also bring the noise. With a defining debut album last year, Saucers Over Washington have become the current pacesetters of Orlando shoegaze. Backstep, meanwhile, blend shoegaze with grunge and emo. Although the least gazey of the lot, Dayspells nonetheless round out the bill with their reflective indie rock.

FRIDAY, JAN. 24
An Evening With John Green
Get ready, Orlando — the man who had you chuckling through An Abundance of Katherines and sobbing uncontrollably with The Fault in Our Stars is coming back to where it all began. This special event, “An Evening With Author John Green,” promises an engaging dive into his literary world, exploring the inspirations and creative processes behind his acclaimed works. Green’s best-selling novels span the genres of young adult fiction, coming-of-age tales and romance with The Fault in Our Stars, Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns. He has sold over 24 million books, translated into more than 55 languages. Beyond his writing, Green is also a YouTube pioneer, co-creating the Crash Course educational series and connecting with fans as one half of the Vlogbrothers. Green’s visit marks the launch of the OCLS Lillian Louise Pharr Author Series, which aims to bring renowned authors to Orlando and foster meaningful literary conversations in the community. For Green, this isn’t just a gig — it’s a homecoming. As an Orlando native, his ties to the city run deep. In fact, July 24, 2015, was officially proclaimed “John Green Day” by then-Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, celebrating the release of the Paper Towns movie adaptation (which was set in Orlando). Much like in Green’s novels, be prepared to experience a rollercoaster of emotions — and welcome a fellow Orlandoan home. 8 p.m., Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $30. — Camila Escobar

Laura Gibson
The second of the “Sessions at CAC” quiet-isthe-new-loud concert series more than lives up to the prestigious precedent set by debut artist William Tyler. Indie-folk singer Laura Gibson, aside from being a formidable songwriter, was
the actual inspiration behind NPR’s long-lived Tiny Desk concert series after she played in the studio in 2008. Now, she’ll bring some of that same intimacy to CAC as part of their series of collab shows with The Listening Room in Gainesville. The Portland musician spent much of 2024 sidestepping the spotlight and grind of club touring by instead playing a long and winding road of living room shows all over the U.S. and U.K. — the unconventional spaces and itineraries agreed with her, and now she’s playing three quirky Florida spots in shows that should be absolutely dreamy. Her last album, Goners, was a series of haunting musical epiphanies on love and mourning. Practice hiding those tears now. 6 p.m., Casselberry Arts Center, 137 Quail Pond Circle, Casselberry, casselberry.org, $10.

The brewery plans to release two beers that day: Sideward Sabbath Vol. VI, a Baltic porter with a 6% ABV; and Electric Funeral, a double IPA. Guests can enjoy these new brews alongside meaty eats and heavy bands worthy of playing an event named after Ozzy and co. Excellent local avant-metal screamers Thrull are performing alongside Skeletizer, Vicious Dreams, Blunder Club and Gainesville psych-rockers Supertwin.
