• Florida’s Prime Meridian — the marker from which all surveying in the state is based — is located about a quarter-mile away from the Capitol building in Cascades Park in a plaza behind the Capital City Amphitheater.

• Leon County’s population was 293,582 in the 2020 census. It was 275,487 in 2010 and 240,201 in 2000.

• Tallahassee is the only municipality in Leon County, and about 66 percent of county residents live within the city limits. Voters have gone to the polls four times (1971, 1973, 1976, 1992) to vote on consolidating the city and county into one entity, but it was rejected each time.

• All Tallahassee/Leon County is within Florida’s 2nd congressional district, represented since Jan. 3, 2017, by Republican Neal Dunn. Florida’s two U.S. senators are Republicans Marco Rubio, since 2011, and Rick Scott, since 2019.

• At 22 stories, Florida’s Capitol is the tallest building in the city. The modern structure was built behind the more classically styled “old” Capitol, which was supposed to be demolished after the new building was completed. However, the Historic Capitol was preserved, and the juxtaposition of the old and new buildings creates a unique vista for those driving west ward on Apalachee Parkway.

• Historians suspected that Hernando de Soto wintered in Tallahassee in 1539 during his explorations, and in 1987 a state archaeologist, the late B. Calvin Jones, pinpointed and exca vated the site. About a mile away from the Capitol building, it is the only site in the U.S. definitively associated with the de Soto expedition.

Tallahassee can be considerably colder than Central and South Florida, with temperatures dipping below freezing on some winter nights. But don’t break out the skis and snow boots just yet. According to the local office of the National Weather Service, Tallahassee has had measurable snowfall only eight times since 1891. However, Tallahassee saw its first measurable snowfall in almost three decades in January 2018, when .1 inches was recorded. It was the first snow in Tallahassee since December 1989, when 1 inch fell, and it’s the first recorded measurable snowfall in the Capital City during the month of January since April 1885. The most snow Tallahassee has seen, 2.8 inches, fell in February 1958. ALMANAC

WELCOME to Tallahassee

FAMU, the only historically black school in the State University System of Florida, is home to a much lauded pharmacy school, a celebrated masters in business administra tion program and a nationally recognized marching band, the Marching 100. Music and theater lovers frequent the amphitheater at Cascades Park for perfor mances big and small. Tallahassee’s collec tion of delightful and eclectic juke joints includes Bird’s Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack. H i there, you must be new. This calls for an introduction.

By Emma Witmer There’s a stack of flattened boxes 3-feet high at the curb in front of your new home. And now you’re looking at a list of to-do’s longer than an FSU graduation ceremony. It’s hard to know where to begin. Grab a glass of wine or sweet tea, and let’s figure this out What’stogether.that?Yes, sweet tea. You call it “tea with sugar?” Oh, you do have a lot to learn. Let us serve you as your guide to Florida’s capital city. Whether you’re in search of great schools, a family doctor, scrumptious eats, things to do or you just need to get your water turned on, we’ve done your home work for you. To begin with, you’re in luck. Tallahassee is rich in Southern hospitality. You’ll always find someone willing to lend a hand, share a smile or joke around in the grocery line. But don’t go hanging around the water cooler without brushing up on college sports. This is, after all, a football town. But it’s much more than that. Tallahassee is the hub of innova tion, education, government, culture and commerce situated in the midst of beauti ful topography that lies between the rolling Red Hills region, with its rich farmland, and the northern crest of the Woodville Karst Plain, a coastal lowland dotted with springs and transected by wild rivers. Here in town, we tap into these natu ral assets with lush parks and greenways, fresh Gulf seafood and farmers markets. Stroll the manicured grounds at the Alfred B. Maclay Gardens. Whiz from tree to tree on ziplines and come face-to-face with black bears, red wolves and the Florida panther at the Tallahassee Museum. Or travel back in time to 1703 and break bread with Apalachee Indians and early Spanish settlers at Mission San Luis. When you are ready to escape the city, the area affords you lots of daytrip options.

You’re in Luck; You’re in Tallahassee

FSU School of Theatre′s Spamalot No other place from Pensacola to Jacksonville to Key West embraces its arts, neighbors, nightlife, bike paths, history, college sports and canopy roads in such a way.

Welcome to Tallahassee, neighbor, or as we affectionately call her — Tally.

The historic St. Marks lighthouse, the salty city of Apalachicola and St. George Island’s beaches are all within a twohour drive. The St. Marks, Ochlockonee, Wakulla and (my personal favorite) Wacissa rivers are perfect for kayaking and small boats. While the Ochlockonee attracts anglers pursuing bass and bream, the Wakulla is a good bet for catching a glimpse of our lovable manatees. The crisp, spring-fed waters of the Wacissa surrender arrowheads and fossils to those who know what to look for. Time to eat? Tallahassee’s locally owned restaurants have been inspired by cultures the world over. For far eastern cuisine, I recommend Lemongrass or Lucy Ho’s Azu. For my Greek/Lebanese fix, Sahara and Little Athens are go-to’s. When I’m crav ing carbs, Tour of Italy serves some of the best pasta in town. But you don’t have to take my word for it; consult the Facebook group “Tallahassee Foodies,” a community of upbeat locals who will point you in the rightTallahasseedirection.is home to two major univer sities.

After a beer or two at Bird’s, extend your evening by heading to Midtown and sampling its humming nightlife. Among the city’s festivals, Springtime Tallahassee — with its parades, music, food, markets and children’s events — is the grand est of them all. The arts thrive in downtown Tallahassee. Murals and other types of public art line the streets. Check out the crafts and curios that vendors at the Saturday Downtown MarketPlace have to offer. Take in the exhibits and enjoy the bird’s eye view at the Capitol’s 22nd-floor gallery; admire the work of local artists at the LeMoyne Arts Gallery; or become part of the Railroad Square Art District’s First Friday gatherings. Or do nothing at all. There are those days when nothing beats sitting in the shade of a live oak with another glass of sweet tea. But first, let’s get that piano of yours moved. It looks like you could use some help.

Anticipating a Milestone

I n the early 1970s, because there was only one hospital in Tallahassee, physicians sometimes had to wait weeks to schedule their surgeries. Patients traveled to other Florida cities for care.

8 Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 2021-22

Seeing the need for another hospital, Tallahassee native Jim Tully, a prominent real estate developer, company president and community leader, formed the Capital Medical Center Group in 1974 along with several local doctors and businessmen. The group sought approval from the state to break ground on a new facility to be located on Capital Circle, which was largely undeveloped at the time.

In 1977, the same year that the state board granted the necessary Certificate of Year By Al Krulick CRMC boosts its specialized care capabilities

“ These projects will be positive for the hospital and for the community. They will yield over 125 new jobs for our community as Tallahassee continues to grow. ”

Keesee explains that these improvements will serve to update and improve the center’s tertiary care services. (Medical services are divided into primary, secondary and tertiary care. While primary care focuses on general care for overall patient education and wellness, secondary care and tertiary care treat more severe conditions that require specialized knowledge and more intensive health monitoring.)

“These projects will be positive for the hospital and for the community,” Keesee said. “They will yield over 125 new jobs for our community as Tallahassee continues to grow. We’re excited to be advancing the tertiary care capability here at Capital Regional, further defining Tallahassee as the health care hub for the region. So, we’re very, very optimistic for our future. And 2022 is going to be a milestone year.”

Alan B. Keesee, Capital Regional’s CEO, said there is more change coming soon. “We have over $42 million in major capital projects underway, and a lot of them will be coming to life next year,” he said. “We’ll be building a 20-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility, which will provide extended care for patients as they recover after their hospital stay so that they can get home healthy. And then, we have three new procedural operating rooms where we’ll have advanced stroke care, heart care and other services.”

2021-22 Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 9 Need, Tully was diagnosed with throat cancer. He died a year later — one year before the new Capital Medical Center (CMC) opened its doors and began serving patients. In 1980, the Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) purchased the center, and it became HCA Tallahassee Community Hospital (TCH). Throughout the ’80s, TCH introduced new technologies and services, including a CT scan, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cardiac catheterization and an open-heart surgery program. In the ’90s, the TCH Family Center began offering labor and delivery services, a new cardiac surgery ICU was opened and access to primary care was instituted via several community-based offices. A $1.1 million expansion of the Emergency Department occurred in 1998, and by the year 2000, the hospital had opened a new Progressive Care Unit and an 18-bed orthopedic/neurology unit. A new $100 million replacement hospital was completed in 2003, and it opened as the Capital Regional Medical Center (CRMC). Over the last two decades, CRMC’s physical structures were expanded, more in-house medical offerings and programs were instituted, and more outpatient services were added. Today, Capital Regional Medical Center has more than 1,100 employees, approximately 500 physicians and 266 beds. It includes a bariatric center, comprehensive women’s health center, cancer center, family center, accredited chest pain center, 24/7 emergency services in Leon and Gadsden counties, certified primary stroke center, a Surgical Services, Heart & Vascular Center, wound care center and affiliated physician practices. It also serves military personnel from Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, Georgia; the Mayport Naval Station east of Jacksonville; and the U.S. Coastguard Sector – Jacksonville.

TMH has a long and distinguished record of medical “firsts” created for the benefit of its patients in the greater Tallahassee region. It had the area’s first blood bank, its first ambulance service, home health care program, cardiac catheterization lab, freestanding emergency center, neonatal intensive care unit, and Level II trauma and emergency center, among others. It also has the first and only neuro-intensive care unit, comprehensive stroke center and animal therapy program. TMH has the longest continuously accredited cancer program in Florida, is home to the Panhandle’s most advanced neurosurgery team, and its specialties of gynecological oncology and surgical oncology are exclusively available in the region only at TMH.

TMH adds clinics, adds presence in Southeast Tallahassee

10 Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 2021-22

This past July, TMH was once again recognized by U.S. News and World Report

T allahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) is a private, not-for-profit community health care system that serves a 17-county area in North Florida and South Georgia. Originally founded in 1948 as Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, TMH has grown in size, scope, offerings and services over the years. Today, TMH comprises a 772-bed acute care hospital, a psychiatric hospital, multiple specialty care centers, three residency programs, 32 affiliated physician practices and partnerships with other medical institutions. There are more than 650 physicians on staff at TMH, representing more than 50 specialties. Its workforce exceeds 5,000, making it the largest employer in Leon County.

Expanding Treatment Options

Other recent news at TMH includes the introduction of Abbot’s NeuroSphere Virtual Clinic into the treatment paradigm for patients receiving Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy for movement disorders related to a variety of neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia (a disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions) and essential tremor.

MEDICAL Overview BARFIELDDAVEBYPHOTOS

DBS patients are outfitted with implanted electrodes and a pacemakertype device that helps control these movements while reducing symptoms and the need for prescription medications. The new virtual technology allows physicians to both communicate with patients as well as provide new device treatment settings as necessary, in real time, regardless of location. Any changes are relayed directly to a patient’s compatible Smartphone or Apple iPod touch mobile devices. Most recently, TMH opened its second Urgent Care Center to provide increased access to residents in Southeast Tallahassee. Urgent care remains the best treatment option for individuals who need medical attention after normal business hours, cannot wait for a doctor’s appointment or don’t have a primary care physician. Both Urgent Care Centers are equipped to serve patients experiencing sprains or strains, skin rashes or infection, fever or flu, muscle or stomachaches, earaches, as well as those who need minor stitches. The new center is located in the SouthWood neighborhood at 3900 Esplanade Way. According to Dr. John Streacker, medical director of both Urgent Care Centers, the new facility was created out of a former TMH primary care office and a rheumatology office. “We retrofitted it to become urgent care, and it’s a beautiful space,” he said. “It’s a wonderful option to be able to offer health care services to those further out from Tallahassee proper.”

2021-22 Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 11 as a Best Hospital for 2021–2022. It earned six “High Performing” ratings: in COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Diabetes, Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Kidney Failure and Stroke Care.

Streacker adds that another goal of the center is to help lighten the load at the hospital’s emergency department while offering patients the care that they need in an acute setting. And while not offering primary care, per se, the Center “does a great job of filling that role,” Streacker notes. “And we do our best to help the patient at discharge by offering resources for them to establish a relationship with primary care. That’s one of our main focuses.”

Although the new Urgent Care Center officially opened on Aug. 25, 2021, there was no ribbon-cutting ceremony at that time due to the entire TMH community’s focus on the ongoing COVID-19Nonetheless,pandemic.Streacker said, “We’re open for business. We’re here and available to take care of anyone’s needs. We’re open Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and, hopefully, in the future, we’re going to expand those hours.”

At Cascades Park, the crown jewel of the city’s urban parks, college students throw Frisbees on the green space, families picnic by the lake, joggers run by with their dogs, and on sunny days, children frolic on the splash pad. At the heart of the downtown park is the Capital City Amphitheater, a beautiful stage framed in a half dome of white. The amphitheater draws people together for free concerts, ticketed concerts and theatrical performances. Musical acts have included Train, Alabama Shakes, The Avett Brothers, Wilco, Jason Isbell, The Beach Boys, Tank, Dawes, Lisa Loeb, Joan Osborne, Boz Scaggs and Peter Frampton. Cascades Park hosts premier events such as the Word of South Festival of Literature & Music and the Southern Shakespeare Festival, which employs a live orchestra. The amphitheater, with 3,500 fixed seats, and the surrounding, blanket-friendly hillside, fills frequently with fans of music, literature and theater. The air is fresh, the crowd is friendly and there is plenty at hand to eat and drink. Learn more at CapitalCityAmphitheater.com.

Pangratz explained he has always “had a heart for musicians.” He began the Tallahassee Area Musicians Guild with fellow board members Barrence Dupree, Russ Hamby and Margie Bertram. The Guild works as a hub for resources and music advo cacy, providing a community for local profes sionals and aspiring amateurs to encourage, teach, learn and share with one another. Mainstage bands come from Atlanta, Nashville, New York City … and The Junction now hosts an open mic night weekly. Pangratz kept the building as original as possible, with exposed brick and concrete floors softened with worn oriental rugs.

DOAK AFTER DARK Doak S. Campbell Stadium, home stadium of the FSU Seminoles, went without a concert for over 30 years. Now, with the addition of one of the best jumbotrons in the country, it has become a concert destination. Recent years have welcomed in SaltN-Pepa, Vanilla Ice, Rob Base and Cole Swindell. Previous names on stage at Doak include Old Dominion, Tyler Farr, Blake Shelton, Jake Owen and Big & Rich. Stay tuned for future concert announcements.

National celebrities and stars of the music realm will always attract a crowd and create revenue, but those idols started somewhere — in hometown bars, at county fairs, in writers’ rounds or opening for touring acts. Likewise, Tallahassee nurtures its own fellowship of soon-to-be-famous local musicians. Read on to learn where to hear them now.

UP THE ROAD Between the stadium and downtown is the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, hosting FSU men’s and women’s basketball and stellar concert performances. The Civic Center has welcomed the likes of Elton John, Drake, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Jimmy Buffett, Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Usher, George Straight, Corey Smith, Earth, Wind & Fire, Alabama, Bon Jovi, Keith Urban and Def Leppard.

IN EVERY DISTRICT On the Southside, it’s easy to mistake The Junction at Monroe for a feed store, because that’s exactly what it is — or what it was. “We have taken an 80-year-old feed store and converted it,” explained Russ Pangratz, owner of The Junction at Monroe. “It was origi nally a rehearsal space for me and my band and other bands, but the acoustics were too good to not do something more with the place.”

THINGS to do L ight streams from Doak S. Campbell stadium, and thousands of voices erupt in the night, not in football cheers and chants, but in song. In a converted feed store, honky-tonk tunes reverberate off exposed-brick walls, and boots stomp hardwood floors. Under a starlit sky in Cascades Park, couples sit close on blankets as they listen to the smooth rock of Train. Beer glasses clink in a bar on Gaines Street as college students sing along to Top 40 covers and Eagles tunes played by an acoustic duo. The next morning, mimosas and eggs Benedict are enjoyed in the presence of a folk-music trio. “Tallahassee’s music scene has exploded in the past few years,” said Kim Morton, represent ing the concert venue/sports arena at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. “Tallahassee, itself, has grown immensely over the past five years, which has brought a new generation to this city. We’re in a location that is a desirable stop for touring artists.”

Fridges with sodas, craft beer and wine line the back wall, stickers from bands have become ingrained in the bar and an impressive collection of CDs and hot sauces are for sale in the lobby. The barbecue and coleslaw are just right.

One of the best hidden party spots in Leon County, the Fish Camp at Lake Iamonia brings together a relaxing lakeside vibe, food trucks, live music and good seafood and burgers. Located north of Bradfordville, the Fish Camp has been around since 1951 and has been painstak ingly improved to keep its original look and feel. The camp is a great place to catch a sunset and is biker friendly, family friendly and pet friendly. So come early and stay late at one of the area’s hidden hangout spots.

North of the city is its oldest music venue, the Bradfordville Blues Club. The BBC has been Florida’s home to authentic blues acts since the segregated years of the Chitlin’ Circuit, a string of venues across the Southeast where black musicians and mixed-race audiences who weren’t welcome in white venues could make music and dance together all night long. Appearances at the rustic, cinderblock juke joint have included such kings and queens of the blues as Bobby Blue Bland, Bobby Rush, Jimmy Rogers, Duke Robillard, Kenny Neal and Big Daddy Kinsey and the Kinsey Report, Johnnie Marshall and a host of others.

Within walking distance of Lafayette and Levy parks near Midtown sits the Blue Tavern. Opened in 2016, this hidden gem plays several different notes as coffee house, pub and music venue — including a modest menu with New Orleans-style fare andThissandwiches.laid-back locale also plays host to a bevy of local musicians and performers, ranging from jazz and blues to comedy and film screenings.

MUSIC MAKES THE WORLD AND TALLAHASSEE GO ’ROUND Bill Wharton, affectionately titled The Sauce Boss, has played the BBC and nearly every club in the Southeast since the late ’60s. His rowdy blues shows and on-stage gumbo-making are his trademarks. With other accomplished locals, such as Pierce Pettis, Del Suggs, Jake Owen and Eric Durrance, The Sauce Boss has seen Tallahassee change and evolve. Like the others, he always returns. “Tallahassee has always been a retreat for me,” said Wharton. “The kind of place where you can write and explore a creative performance. A great town for an artist. I’ve seen a lot of creative spirit here. It feels good jamming with the young’uns as well as old friends, and welcoming new faces and new venues. It makes for a hoppin’ scene. We keep growing and creating.” Music grows within us, and because it does, it creates emotions. It transports us to a time with someone we love, a loss or even just a fall day when the sun shone a little brighter than usual. Music enhances our intelligence, as seen in the test scores and creative abilities of those who study it. It soothes those in need of a smile, and it heals. Take, for instance, stroke victims whose voices have been taken, but who suddenly and unexplainably find their words, thanks to music. Music is meant to be heard, yes, but also to be felt. When the stage lights have dimmed, the equipment has been cleared and the musicians are on their way home or heading to the next show, they hope they’ve struck a chord that will resonate long after the last note is played. to do Bill Wharton
