BART is a family owned and operated bar snuggled safely in the Mills-50 corridor. There’s a number of well-established watering holes in this part of town, but BART sidesteps the expected and provides its guests with something a bit different and honestly, a bit hard to define. It’s a small bar that features craft beers….
Something happened on the way to the sequel. Muppets Most Wanted picks up right after the series refresher, 2011’s The Muppets, igniting a rather humorous song about the staleness of sequels. What quickly follows the title card is indeed a film full of all of those sequel stereotypes at which they just laughed. The Muppets…
Long time Orlando residents, especially those with a taste for vintage, quirky, fun, will remember the Populuxe storefront that was located in the antique district back in the mid 90’s. When eBay burst onto the scene, Populuxe founder Brian Cain and his then partner realized the efficiency of doing business online would soon sweep their…
Did you know that we went all of 2013 without a theatrical release for a movie based on a video game? Couldn’t it just stay that way? It isn’t that Need for Speed is directly based on any of the games in the EA published franchise, but it still carries the same stigma. This could…

This stretch of the mixed use trail is in excellent condition, pristine even,with a variety of scenery and settings. The trailhead provides restrooms,…
300: Rise of an Empire, the sequel (or prequel?) to Zack Snyder’s 2006 film, 300, is an hour and a half of CGI blood splashed to the face. The film, now directed by Noam Murro, follows a Greek general, Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) as he leads an army into battle against the Persian army lead by…
“I’m bored” cried my three year old daughter, “can we please go to chocolate park?” While I still had a pile of work on my plate, I could not deny the polite plea. Chocolate park is her nickname for Winter Springs’ Trotwood Park, which is located just off of Tuskawilla road and is a great…
The Altamonte Picture Show is hands-down Orlando’s best (and cleanliest) value theater. Metaphorically speaking, if we were doing a comparison, the Picture Show is the Target of value versus the dingy Wal-Mart that is the Colonial Promenade. Regardless of which side of town you live on, it’s worth the drive. Especially on Tuesdays, when all…
