A COMPENDIUM OF FACTS AND FIGURES — AND JUST PLAIN FUN STUFF TO KNOW

•

Tallahassee is positioned 30.45 degrees north of the equator and 84.28 degrees west of the prime meridian. Its elevation is 203 feet above sea level. The city was incorporated on Dec. 9, 1825. It has a total area of 103.1 square miles.

•

eon County’s population was 240,201 L in 2000. It was 275,487 in 2010 and is estimated to be 296,800 in 2020.

•

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 westward on Apalachee Parkway.

•

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.

•

Tallahassee was the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi River that did not fall to the Union army.

•

Tallahassee is the only municipality in Leon County, and about 64 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.

Tallahassee Newcomer 2019–20

•

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.

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 excavated 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.

LET IT SNOW? 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.

STATE OF FLORIDA

Florida’s state government is overseen by the governor and three elected members of the state Cabinet — the Agriculture Commissioner, Attorney General and Chief Financial Officer. Each resident is also represented by a member of the Florida House of Representatives and a member of the Florida Senate. The House has 120 members, the Senate has 40. Leon County is represented by House Districts 7, 8 and 9 and by Senate District 3. To determine which House and Senate districts you live in, you can contact the Leon County Supervisor of Elections. You can also use your zip code on the legislative websites (flsenate.gov or myfloridahouse.gov) to determine your representative and senator. Representatives are elected every two years. Senators are elected every four years.

LEON COUNTY

Leon County is guided by an elected, seven-member Board of County Commissioners. Five board members are elected to serve specific commission districts, and two members are elected at-large. Each year, members of the board select a chairman and vice chairman from within the group. The Leon County Administrator and County Attorney are appointed by the board to oversee all functions, directives and policies. Other Leon County elected officials include county and circuit court judges, the State Attorney, Public Defender, the School Board, Superintendent and five constitutional officers: Clerk of the Court, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector.

CITY OF TALLAHASSEE

The Mayor and four-member City Commission are the governing body of the city, and all serve four-year terms. All of the seats are nonpartisan and there are no districts: All members are elected citywide. The terms of office are staggered, with elections for two commission seats held every other year. The mayor, who is elected to that particular position, has a vote at commission meetings but no veto power. Tallahassee’s executive staff — the City Manager, Attorney, Auditor and Treasurer/ Clerk — are appointed to their positions by the city commission. A wealth of information about the Tallahassee City Commission, as well as city operations and services can be found at the talgov.com website.

WELCOME to Tallahassee

A Guide to Becoming a Local By Pete Reinwald

It’s true: You haven’t moved to Postcard Florida. That’s the domain of Miami, Orlando and Daytona Beach. You’ve moved to a place where the sun shines brightly on nature, culture, education and recreation. Welcome to Tallahassee, Florida’s capital. We invite you to use this newcomer guide as a resource as you get in touch with this special place that you now call home. Use it to set up utilities, find doctors, locate services and establish contacts in Tallahassee and Leon County. You’ll soon see why the Sunshine State offers no other place like Tallahassee. 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. No other place serves as a simultaneous setting for government, higher education and innovation. No other place offers this many hills, trees, trails and pets and this many ponds, parks, concerts and events — with access to beaches and with the assurance of a wave and a smile. Take it from the Leon County Division of Tourism, which touts Tallahassee as “a place where college town meets cultural center, politics meets performing arts and history meets nature, a place where the vibrancy of what to do is matched only by the city’s inviting hospitality.” Tallahassee features a downtown that’s getting livelier by the month. A Downtown

Tallahassee Newcomer 2019–20

MarketPlace makes Saturdays come alive with food, artists and music. Top-notch restaurants make it more and more a nightly destination, and development projects signal even more tasty activity. Explore just outside downtown, and you’ll find two heralded institutions of higher learning that, with the Capitol, give Tallahassee its backbone: Florida State University and Florida A&M University, the latter of which rests atop the highest of Tallahassee’s seven hills. You’ll find Cascades Park, a social center and city treasure that features an amphitheater, play areas, bike paths and fabulous views of the Capitol. You’ll find CollegeTown fired up before and after kickoff and Midtown bustling after dark. Go too far outside the city limits — actually, you don’t need to go far at all — and you’ll lose cell phone service and encounter friendly people who want no part of hustle and bustle of Florida’s seventhlargest city. Many of those who live here, meanwhile, never want to leave. Here’s why: Parks: Places to stroll, hike, bike, look and connect with the outdoors abound. From Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park to Tom Brown Park to the J.R. Alford Greenway and numerous state and city parks in between, you’ll experience the Capital City’s colorful, recreational and preservationist spirit. Miles and miles of trails in scenic settings provide inspiration to get outside and stay outside.

elcome, newcomer. You’re in for a treat. You’ve moved to a community that offers everything you’d want in a city, at a pace that makes you feel as though you’ve finally gotten away from it all.

KAYAKING

TRAIL RUNNING

Surroundings: In less than an hour, you can find yourself at Wakulla Springs State Park, a sanctuary of trails and wildlife, or at St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, a coastal wilderness known for its fall destination of monarch butterflies and annual festival. And did we say beaches? In about two hours, you can find yourself on 30A and its pristine aqua coastline. We don’t call it the Emerald Coast for nothing. Nightlife: In addition to a growing collection of quality restaurants, the Capital City boasts plenty of bars, music and entertainment. Check out the Bradfordville Blues Club, which touts itself as an experience like no other. The club promotes even getting there as an experience: “Just follow the tiki torches down the dirt roads till you reach the juke joint under the stars.” Neighborhoods: Every section of the city features a distinct feel, spirit and flavor. Historic neighborhoods such as Lafayette Park, Myers Park, Frenchtown and Indianhead Acres offer quick access to downtown, shopping and eateries. The Killearn area continues to sprawl northward toward Georgia as more people move in. And the planned community of SouthWood has emerged as another favorite for newcomers.

Miles and miles of trails in scenic settings provide inspiration to get outside and stay outside. Events: The city’s premier events include Springtime Tallahassee, the Word of South festival of literature and music, the Tallahassee Film Festival, the Shakespeare in the Park festival and the LeMoyne Chain of Parks Art Festival. No wonder Cascades Park, the centerpiece for virtually every big event in town, stays so busy. Museums: The Florida Historic Capitol Museum, in the domed 1845 building that remains in front of the Capital City’s 22-story symbol, offers three floors of exhibits and free admission but accepts donations for its educational programs. While you’re there, check out the new capitol and its 22nd-floor observatory, which offers panoramic views of green as far as you can see. Count on regular visits to the Tallahassee Museum, an outdoor destination that promotes knowledge and understanding of the region’s cultural history and natural environment. Other places to visit include Mission San Luis, which transports visitors to the year 1703; the Museum of Florida History; the Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee; the Grove Museum; and Goodwood Museum & Gardens. Tallahassee is yours to explore — so get started. Enjoy. •

HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE

Rolling garbage containers are provided to residents for household garbage disposal.

Customers’ containers should be at the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection day and should be at least 3 feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes or shrubbery and away from low-hanging lines. Garbage containers must be removed from the curb no later than the day after service. Non-hazardous and non-recyclable materials should be placed in garbage bags before being put in the container.

Customers with medical/physical limitations who are unable to roll their garbage container to the curb can apply for Helping Hands Service at no additional charge.

To apply for either service or for more information, call 891-4YOU (4968) or visit Talgov.com/YOU.

RECYCLING The City of Tallahassee makes recycling convenient. No sorting is needed, and all plastic, glass, metal and cardboard can be placed together in the recycling container. Recyclable items include plastic containers holding less than 3 gallons, metal cans, glass bottles, newspapers, magazines and cardboard. Plastic bags and Styrofoam are not recyclable. To avoid bugs and odors, cans, bottles and jars should be rinsed out. Crushing containers and breaking down boxes will increase the amount of material that will fit into the recycling container. For a complete list of recyclable items and a list of where to recycle items that don’t go into the container, visit Talgov.com/YOU. Recycling is scheduled for pickup every week on the same day as garbage pickup. Containers should be at the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection day. The container should be placed so that it is at least 3 feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes or shrubbery and not located under low-hanging lines. The recycling container must be removed from the curb no later than the day after service to prevent a safety hazard. Customers with medical/physical limitations who are unable to roll their container to the curb can apply for Helping Hands Service at no additional charge. To apply for this service, call (850) 891-4YOU (4968) or visit Talgov.com/YOU.

YARD WASTE Yard waste is scheduled for pickup from the curb every other week according the customer’s Red/Blue week schedule. Yard waste includes grass clippings, pine straw, leaves, twigs, small limbs and shrub trimmings. If placed at the curb off schedule, it will be picked up on the next scheduled collection day. Customers may request a special collection to have waste removed prior to the scheduled collection day for a fee. Items should not be loose; they should be in heavy-duty plastic or paper trash bags or cardboard boxes. Limbs and trimmings that can’t be bagged should be stacked in piles no higher than 4 feet. The maximum size of limbs is 6 feet long and

4 inches in diameter. Larger items should be properly disposed of by the customer or scheduled for a special pickup by calling 891-4YOU (4968). If a special pickup is requested, the fee for collection will be added to the customer’s utility bill.

BULKY ITEMS Bulky items are scheduled for pickup from the curb every other week according the customer’s Red/Blue week schedule. Bulky items are those that are too large to fit in the garbage barrel and are not yard waste. These include furniture, mattresses, bicycles, appliances, swing sets, lawn furniture, barbecue grills and plastic pools. If placed at the curb off schedule, they will be picked up on the next scheduled collection day. Customers may request a special collection to have waste removed prior to the scheduled collection day for a fee. Hazardous waste items that cannot be collected as bulky items include car batteries, paint cans still containing paint, tires and electronics. Other hazardous waste can be taken to the Leon County landfill’s household hazardous waste center.

Vehicle and Voter Registration VOTER REGISTRATION

Leon County Supervisor of Elections Office

LeonVotes.org

Residents may register to vote any time of the year. To register, you must be a U.S. citizen, a Florida resident and in full possession of your civil rights. If you have been adjudicated mentally incapacitated or if you have been convicted of a felony, call the Office of Executive Clemency at (850) 488-2952 to restore your rights. You must be 18 years old to register. You may pre-register if you are 17 or if you have a valid driver’s license before your 17th birthday. To vote in an upcoming election, you must be registered to vote 29 days prior to the day of the election. Changes in political party must also be updated before the registration deadline. Florida is a closed primary state, meaning only voters who are registered members of political parties may vote for their respective party’s candidates in a partisan primary election. Those registered as independents or with minor parties are eligible to vote in primaries that have nonpartisan elections. A universal primary may occur when the only candidates for a public office are of the same political party. In that case, all registered voters in the candidates’ race may participate, regardless of party affiliation. In general elections, all voters may vote for any candidate or question on their precinct-specific ballot. Florida voter applications are available at the Supervisor of Elections’ office at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway. You may also register to vote at all public schools, libraries, driver’s license offices, public assistance agencies, as well as numerous banks and businesses around the capital city. Or you can download the registration form from the Supervisor of Elections website, leonvotes.org. There are three ways to vote: by mail with an absentee ballot, early voting prior to the election and on Election Day at the 165 polling locations in Leon County. Absentee ballots are mailed at least 45 days prior to an election and can be tracked by the voter on the Supervisor of Elections website. You can visit the website and with a few keystrokes, know your voter registration status in Leon County. The site offers complete information about upcoming elections, precincts, elected officials and more. Or, call (850) 606-VOTE (8683) for more information.

MOTOR VEHICLES AND LICENSES Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Express.hsmv.state.fl.us Leon County Tax Collector’s Offices LeonTaxCollector.net

DRIVER’S LICENSE Persons living in Florida who want to operate a motor vehicle on public streets and highways are required to obtain a Florida driver license within thirty (30) days of becoming a resident. Customers are required to present proof of legal name and lawful presence (birth certificate or passport and any legal documents pertaining to name change), social security number (social security card or W2) and two forms of residential address (two pieces of official mail from two different companies). All required documents have to be originals, no copies. A new resident is exempt from taking any test if they can provide evidence of a driver license issued in another jurisdiction. There are fees associated with all transactions performed. Documentation attesting a change of address for in-state drivers moving to Tallahassee, must be submitted to one of the Leon County Tax Collector’s offices or online at flhsmv.gov within thirty (30) days of a move. VEHICLE REGISTRATION In the state of Florida, motor vehicles are required by law to be registered and titled within 30 days of the owner becoming employed, placing children in school or establishing residency. To obtain a vehicle registration, you will need proof of ownership (original out-of-state or in-state title), Florida insurance and your identification. If you are still making loan payments on you vehicle and your out-of-state title is being held by a lienholder, the current out-of-state registration is needed along with the name and address of the lienholder. The Tax Collector’s office will assist you in contacting the lender to obtain the vehicle title. All pre-owned out-of-state vehicles coming into the state of Florida will need a vehicle identification number verification. This verification can be done at the Tax Collector’s office as long as weather permits. Florida license plates are valid until midnight of the owner’s birthday. License plate renewals are accepted ninety (90) days prior to the registered owner’s birth month. Registration fees are assessed according to the weight of the motor vehicle. There are fees to register and title vehicles. For more information, call DHSMV at (850) 617-2000 for assistance. Fortunately, obtaining your Florida driver license, vehicle registration, title, and license plate can all be done at any of the Tax Collector’s offices listed in the ad on page 6 as well as their other services. These locations accept cash, check, and all major credit and debit cards.

Local public schools are under the direction of the Leon County School Board. A wealth of information about local public education and individual schools is available on the district’s website at leon.k12.fl.us. The site includes information on registering new students, as well as an easy-to-use page to determine what school zones you live in. Parents registering a student for the first time should be prepared to provide proof of residence (such as a utility bill), the child’s birth certificate and other identification, proof of immunizations and, if appropriate, transcript information from the child’s previous school. For more information, call (850) 487-7100. You can learn what bus routes serve your area by accessing the school system’s Transportation Department web page.

REGISTRATION Parents with children who will be entering kindergarten or who will be attending public school in Leon County for the first time are encouraged to register their kids during pre-registration, which schools generally hold in late April and/or early May for the next school year. Schools continue taking registrations throughout the summer for new families moving to Tallahassee. In all cases, parents should contact their zoned schools to get the registration process started as soon as possible after securing their residence. Students who will be entering kindergarten must have certain immunization documentation on file at school before the start of the new school year. Students entering seventh grade need documentation of a Td/Tdap booster vaccine. The Leon County Health Department provides routine back-to-school immunizations Monday through Friday by appointment or

at special extended-hour immunization clinics. All children receiving immunizations through the Health Department must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. PUBLIC SCHOOL OPTIONS Leon County also offers a variety of school choice options to provide as many options as possible to maximize student learning. There are a variety of special programs available, such as International Baccalaureate, science, technology and fine arts. Families apply by March 1 of each school year for controlled choice that includes magnet schools and other special programs. Contact the School Choice Office at (850) 487-7546 for more information about attendance zones and choice options. CHARTER SCHOOL OPTIONS Charter Schools are public schools contracting with the district to provide services to students. Leon County has five charter schools. Each offers a unique opportunity and setting. Families can obtain more information about each school by visiting their websites or calling the schools directly. HOME SCHOOLING Families who choose not to send their students to a public school are responsible for all aspects of the education of their students. However, there are a few requirements families must satisfy in order to home educate their children. For example, students must be evaluated annually. The District’s Home School Office can assist families who choose this option. Their number is (850) 561-8375. PRIVATE SCHOOLS Tallahassee is also served by several private schools, which offer education opportunities from preschool through high school.

The Importance of an Exercise Routine for All Ages Finding a way to become and stay active is crucial not just for the elderly but also for children By Rebecca Padgett

t is widely known that people from the ages of 18 to 55 should be engaging in some form of fitness. For the outlying age ranges, physical fitness is not as readily addressed, yet it is just as necessary that children and senior citizens develop health routines. Fitness for kids and seniors might differ in impact, intensity and length, but the physical and mental benefits are no less important. Being stagnant is never the optimal choice for any age group; whether the movements are large or small, it’s key to keep moving or get moving. With a surge in technology, more children than ever are exposed to screen time and less physical activity. It may seem as if children don’t need as much physical activity as an adult, but that’s a false assumption as properly instilled health habits can make a lasting impact throughout life. “Just like adults, kids need an outlet as well, and exercise is one of best ways for kids to decompress,” said Melissa Johnson, owner of Kaos Group Training. “If physical activity can be taught to be a part of one’s life from a young age then, hopefully, as they get older they will continue to use exercise to relieve stress, stay strong and healthy and lead a positive lifestyle.” Irene Quevedo, director of operations at

American Fitness, agrees on the importance of beginning fitness routines early on, stating that kids learn a great deal from the habits and activities of their families. Parents are vital in encouraging and promoting fitness activities for their children. Kaos Group Training, American Fitness and many fitness facilities throughout Tallahassee provide classes for families, teens and children. A noticeable difference between child and adult fitness is that, for a child, the activity needs to be engaging — otherwise they may not show interest and may not understand its influence on their life. “We need to make physical activity fun,” said Quevedo. “Exposing kids and teens to different sports and activities will keep them active and allow them to have a say in which one they prefer. By becoming physically active in an activity they enjoy, kids and teens can reduce the risk of stress, depression and anxiety.” Through workouts, all ages can gain strength, improve cardiovascular health, improve balance and contribute to overall physicality. Those same physical activities are mentally beneficial by elevating endorphins, ultimately boosting happiness and decreasing signs of stress and depression. “No matter what age or what capabilities someone has, they deserve to enjoy a high

quality of life,” said Kim Bibeau, owner of Sweat Therapy Fitness. “As we live longer it is absolutely imperative that we remain active to ensure we have a high quality of life. Research proves that exercise does this time and time again, because the physical and emotional benefits of an active lifestyle are undisputed. It helps with attitudes, depression and cognitive sleep. People feel better, and they are happier.” Sweat Therapy Fitness offers a variety of senior adult fitness classes including: Forever Fit, a total body workout focusing on strength, core and cardiovascular activities; Boxing Balance and Core, which includes a boxing component to assist with strength, cardio and cognition; and Rock Steady Boxing, a course designed specifically for those with Parkinson’s Disease. Premier Health & Fitness Center hosts a Brain, Body, Balance class focusing on fall prevention by addressing skills that decline with aging and contribute to injuries from falling.

Research shows that honing in on strength, balance, reflexes, aerobic activity and cognition can reduce the rates of Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. Alongside the physical benefits, it’s a way to make connections and engage socially. “We have a lot of power over how we age,” said Kathy Gilbert, fitness instructor at Premier Health & Fitness Center. “Our physical and cognitive health is significantly affected by our level of physical activity. Keeping active and maintaining your strength slows down the declines that occur with aging. “I see many 90-plus-year-olds leading happy, fulfilling, independent lives, and these are the people who have stayed active their whole lives,” she adds. “We need to encourage our aging parents, friends and neighbors to stay active.” The research is undisputed, the benefits are vast and the resources are growing, proving it’s never too early or too late to engage in a fitness routine that benefits mind, body and soul. •

Advice for the Battered Soles Experts caution you not to run from your foot problem By Marina Brown

umans and their feet, it seems, have a complex relationship. Looking down on those far-off extremities, our sentiment ranges from fetish to scorn to shrug. And yet, the human foot again and again rises up to assert itself as something more than just a beast of burden. It is vital to our enjoyment of life. Feet take a beating. The effects of obesity and sedentary lifestyles, plus modern foot coverings — shoes — often not only fail to protect the foot but instead abuse the little darlings. And trouble can start early.

Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 2019-20

Dr. George Merritt of Tallahassee Podiatry Associates said children frequently show an unnatural degree of pronation, an inward roll of the foot, and supination, an outward roll of the foot. He said such conditions can lead to gait problems and, later, orthopedic issues. Merritt, a runner, emphasizes the importance of wearing the right shoes, which he says provide protection from “stepping out of bed in the morning, until getting in at night.” So what are the right shoes? We asked Tyler Perkins, owner of Fleet Feet, a Tallahassee store that focuses on the perfect shoe for people who will cover

hundreds of miles on foot or simply seek a comfortable, supportive shoe. The most common footwear mistake is to wear a shoe that is too small, he says. “People don’t understand that the foot will continue to grow and change over time,” he said. “What they wore at 25 is not what they should wear at 50.” Athletic shoes should be worn at least a full size larger than the barefoot measurement, he says. He says another tendency is to wear athletic shoes for too long. “Even a quality running or walking shoe

MEDICAL Overview

worn regularly is only going to hold up for six months,” he said. “Beyond that, the cushioning system breaks down and won’t absorb the impact to the feet.” What if you’re not a runner? What if you’re a fashionable woman-about-town, and you have fabulous legs and want to show them off, right down to the tips of your toes? You might want to stay in the stilettos. But not so fast. “All things in moderation,” said Dr. Russell Rowan of Tallahassee Podiatry Associates. “Wear high heels but not all the time. Too long can lead to shortened Achilles tendons and pain on the balls of the feet.” Hammer toes, in which toes bend downward, and bunions aggravated by ill-fitting shoes can be corrected by surgery or prevented via better-fitted shoes with lower heels. Nail funguses, most frequently found in

the hot, moist environment of an enclosed shoe, can also develop between an acrylic nail and the nail itself. The same fungi that cause athlete’s foot can grow beneath your artificial toenails. Careful foot cleansing and change of shoes is important prevention. April Woodward of Millennium Nail & Day Spa says the most common issues she hears from her pedicure customers involve a desire for smoother skin on their heels and problems with ingrown toenails. “With soaking and proper trimming, we can address both of these,” she said. Woodward says that regular foot care, such as getting a pedicure, isn’t just for vanity’s sake. “The combination of soaking in warm water, massage and grooming of the toenails helps to maintain healthy feet,” she said. So take a stand, put your best foot forward and treat those tootsies right. •

“People don’t understand that the foot will continue to grow and change over time.”

Experience that Makes a Difference Ben J. Kirbo, M.D. ~ Laurence Z. Rosenberg, M.D. ~ Chris DeRosier, M.D. CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY

Everyone talks about personalized care, but at Southeastern Plastic Surgery, P.A. in Tallahassee, it is exactly the patient experience that makes all the difference. From the moment a patient enters the door, they will encounter a sense of caring that continues throughout their visit. The importance of individualized, personal treatment is at the heart of every patient experience. As the region’s premier choice for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, Southeastern Plastic Surgery includes board-certified general and plastic surgeons with unique complementary expertise, skin care specialists and others dedicated to provide outstanding care and service. Dr. Chris DeRosier is board-certified by the American Board of Surgery, American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery and brings unique expertise to the region in the areas of free tissue breast reconstruction know as Free TRAM and DIEP flaps. He also brings muchneeded expertise in abdominal wall reconstruction and wound care to this region. Dr. DeRosier’s leadership in these areas has resulted in Southeastern Plastic Surgery becoming a regional referral center for secondary and tertiary abdominal wall reconstruction and limb salvage reconstruction.

L-R: Dr. Rosenberg, Dr. Kirbo, Dr. DeRosier

“Patients are my number one priority,” said Dr. Ben Kirbo, board-certified plastic surgeon. “They influence the quality of staff and technology, the design of our office and the time we spend to educate our patients about the procedures and services they are considering.” Dr. Ben Kirbo has been practicing in the North Florida and South Georgia area for more than 17 years. He is dedicated to providing unparalleled quality to every patient. A native of Bainbridge, Georgia, Dr. Kirbo received his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and completed his medical degree at the University of Miami. He completed his general surgery residency at the University of Kentucky and his plastic surgery residency at Vanderbilt University where he trained under several internationally recognized plastic surgeons. He has a particular interest in facial cosmetic surgery, breast surgery and body contouring. Additionally, he has interest and experience in post-bariatric weight loss surgery. He has extensive training in melanoma/skin cancer treatment and Mohs repairs. Dr. Kirbo is known by his colleagues for his expertise in correcting undesirable plastic surgery results. Along with Southeastern Plastic Surgery, he was selected as the only local surgical practice to participate in the Florida Melanoma Study.

“At Southeastern Plastic Surgery, we strive to deliver excellent patient care, in a warm, compassionate setting,” said Dr. Laurence Rosenberg, board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Laurence Rosenberg grew up in Albany, New York, and attended Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, for both college and medical school, where he earned many awards and distinctions. Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, he completed both general surgery and plastic surgery residency and trained at the University of Alabama under pioneering plastic surgeon, Dr. Luis Vasconez. As a result of his training and research, he is an editorial board member of the Annals of Plastic Surgery. With a variety of interests and areas of specialization within cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Rosenberg’s areas of focus include facelifts, eyelid surgery, breast reconstruction, breast augmentation and reduction, abdominoplasty, hand surgery, laser treatments of skin disorders and body contouring with particular interest in massive weight loss patients. Dr. Rosenberg is the only board-certified physician in North Florida and South Georgia to perform a unique hair restoration procedure of surgically transplanting individual hair follicular units.

Recognized nationally, Dr. DeRosier offers his expertise during multiple grand rounds and lectures to many medical centers throughout the United States. He has provided leadership to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and the medical community by serving as Chairman of the Department of Surgery, Medical Director of the Skin and Soft Tissue Center and was most recently elected to the Medical Executive Committee. A native of Huntsville, Alabama, Dr. DeRosier is an AOA graduate of the University of Alabama (UAB) School of Medicine. He completed both his general and plastic surgery residencies at UAB prior to starting his practice at the university. In 2013 Dr. DeRosier joined Southeastern Plastic Surgery bringing academic level reconstructive surgery to the Big Bend area.

Must-See PARKS The people of Tallahassee and Leon County love their parks — from open green spaces where people gather for special occasions to forests etched with sun-dappled trails. There are scores of places, urban and rural, for getting outdoors. Here are just a few.

A.J. HENRY PARK This 72-acre gem amid Killearn’s seven northeast neighborhoods offers a playground, four picnic shelters, a large picnic pavilion, a boardwalk, trails and plenty of shade. It can be accessed from Gardenview Way or Whitney Drive East. CASCADES PARK This is the crown jewel of Tallahassee’s urban parks. Cascades is a green, spacious gathering place for pedestrians, picnickers, festivalgoers and concert fans. At the center of its rolling hills and water features is the Capital City Amphitheatre, hosting national and local bands. The park, just blocks from the Capitol, also includes a lake, monuments, a splash pad, fountains, a playground, shaded coves, multi-use trails and the Smokey Hollow Commemorative Site.

ELINOR KLAPP-PHIPPS PARK Located on the east side of Lake Jackson

FRED GEORGE GREENWAY AND PARK In northwest Leon County are

9 10

at 4000 N. Meridian Road, this wild, 670-acre tract is one of the largest outdoor recreation sites in Tallahassee, with room for hiking, biking and horseback riding. It also is the site of the annual Red Hills Horse Trials. 170 acres of woodlands, knee-high grass patches, waterways and trails. Ten open acres are dedicated to multipurpose fields for Pop Warner football, regulation baseball, soccer, tennis, disc golf and a dog park.

GOVERNOR’S PARK Hidden in plain sight, Governor’s Park is off Blair Stone Road between Mahan Drive and East Park Avenue. Its gently sloping fields, scattered trees and woodsy trails make it ideal for tossing frisbees and balls to friends or pets. JACK MCLEAN JR. PARK, CENTER & POOL There are 52 acres of fun

at Jack McLean Park, at 700 Paul Russell Road. The park features a swimming pool, picnic shelters, a playground, courts for basketball, tennis and volleyball, horseshoe pits and a 24-hole disc golf course.

LAFAYETTE HERITAGE TRAIL PARK This once continuous wet prairie was parsed by a dam into three sections: Upper Lafayette, Piney Z Lake and Lower Lafayette. It is a wonderful place to fish, bike, run, walk and paddle. The park entrance is at the east end of Heritage Park Boulevard in the Piney Z Plantation subdivision.

PARK AVENUE CHAIN OF PARKS The Chain of Parks is actually a series of seven small urban parks in Tallahassee’s historic Park Avenue district. An April art festival and weekly arts and crafts and food market are held here. It’s a great place to be in the spring, when the rose bushes and azaleas are in bloom. SAN LUIS MISSION PARK Adjacent to the 17th-century museum Mission San Luis, the park features covered picnic pavilions, lots of shade trees, trails around Lake Esther and a playground. Feel free to walk your pooch here.

TOM BROWN PARK Located east of Capital Circle Southeast between Mahan

Drive and Apalachee Parkway, Tom Brown Park is one of Tallahassee’s favorite outdoor playgrounds and hosts the annual Fourth of July fireworks show. It has fields for softball, baseball and soccer as well as a disc golf course, a dog park, tennis courts and lots of other open spaces.

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.” Notes are bumping from all quadrants of Tallahassee. CASCADING SCALES 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 Avett Brothers performing at the Cascades Amphitheater, where concerts and productions happen almost every weekend in the summer.

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,

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, representing the concert venue/sports arena at

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. DOAK AFTER DARK Doak S. Campbell Stadium, home stadium of the FSU Seminoles, went without a concert for 30 years. Now, with the addition of the Champions Club, 5,500 more seats and one of the best jumbotrons in the country, it has become a concert destination. This past year welcomed in Salt-N-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. FSUkickoff.com 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. TuckerCivicCenter.com Another concert icon is The Moon, Tallahassee’s dance central, which has featured headliners such as Bassnectar, George Clinton, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Hall & Oates, The Tempations, Bonnie Raitt, George Strait, Willie Nelson, The Judds, B.B. King, Kenny Chesney, Joe Cocker, Pat Benatar, Billy Preston, Chris Tucker and many more. Tallahassee.MoonEvents.com MUSIC ALLEY Across town from Cascades Park, music drifts from The Pavilion, one of our largest music venues, nestled within a transformed, nowopen-air shopping mall: Centre of Tallahassee. The Pavilion is a spacious, covered area that can fit 10,000 seats, has the same sound system that Madonna uses and is cooled with 15 gigantic fans. TallyPavilion.com 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. 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 originally 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.” 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 advocacy, providing a community for local professionals 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 The Comedy Zone weekly. Pangratz

kept the building as original as possible, with exposed brick and concrete floors softened with worn oriental rugs. 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. JunctionAtMonroe.com Nestled in the heart of Midtown is Fifth & Thomas Kitchen & Musichouse, where the main course is live music, served with excellent cuisine, local brews and craft cocktails. The Fifth & Thomas concept is exceptionally composed: Don’t make the food, the cocktails and the music compete; instead, have them blend together, forming a beautiful symphony. It’s working, drawing crowds for acts such as Marc Broussard, the Oh Hellos, BJ Barham of American Aquarium and The Currys. Many shows are free. FifthAndThomas.com 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, cinder-block 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. A tree damaged the BBC in May, but the longtime music mainstay reopened in July of 2018. BradfordvilleBlues.com 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 and sandwiches. This laid-back locale also plays host to a bevy of local musicians and performers, ranging from jazz and blues to comedy and film screenings. BlueTavernTallahassee.com 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. •
