🏗️ 👀 THE NEW IN — LOVE IT OR HATE IT… AFTER YEARS OF CONTROVERSY, IT’S HAPPENING!
_______________

👉 If you’ve driven through Tavernier lately, you’ve seen just how quickly things are changing around MM 92.5, oceanside.

Yep… that’s the new — officially called The Market at Toppino Cove.

And after YEARS of meetings, arguments, changes and challenges, this thing is no longer just something people are talking about. The Publix building is up, the roof is on, crews and heavy equipment are working across the property, and the development is really starting to take shape. 🏗️

But depending on who you talk to around here, you’ll still hear two very different sides. 😳

🏠 Supporters point to something the desperately needs — .

The project includes **86 deed-restricted workforce housing units** along with the Publix and liquor store.

And here’s a BIG part of this deal some people may not know:

👉 **At least 43 of those 86 housing units must receive temporary Certificates of Occupancy BEFORE the Publix and liquor store can receive their Certificate of Occupancy and open.**

Supporters also point to new jobs, another grocery option and turning the old concrete plant property into something new.

🚗 Opponents have been asking a different question: **What is this going to do to ?**

Residents have raised concerns about an already-busy U.S. 1, pedestrian and bicycle safety, more and whether something this large fits the character of Tavernier.

And this wasn't just arguing on Facebook. 😬

The project went through years of public meetings and government reviews. Monroe County commissioners approved the commercial overlay 4-1, despite opposition. Then FloridaCommerce initially rejected the ordinance — only to later reverse that decision.

🌿 In 2025, and vegetation clearing brought another controversy and a county stop-work action.

Now all those years of debate are turning into something we can actually see being built.

Publix lists The Market at as **“Coming Soon,”** but there still isn't a confirmed grand-opening date.

🔥 **So now that it's becoming a reality, what do YOU think?**

Are you excited about the new Publix and workforce housing 👍 — or worried about traffic and more development 👎?

💬 **Tell your neighbors what you think in the comments, and SHARE this with someone who's been following this project.**

🚨🚒 19 NEW FIREFIGHTERS JOIN MONROE COUNTY FIRE RESCUE — AND THE FLORIDA KEYS COULDN’T BE PROUDER ❤️

There are some careers that are more than just a job.

Thursday was a special day in the as 19 new members of received their pins during a ceremony at the Monroe County Emergency Operations Center in Marathon.

Chief R.L. Colina and Mayor Michelle Lincoln welcomed the new members, surrounded by proud families and friends who got to witness a moment these new firefighters and EMTs worked very hard to reach.

One of the special moments came as Chief Colina made his way down the line, personally shaking hands with the newest members of his department. 🚒

It was a simple gesture, but one that said a lot.

Because that little pin — and that handshake — represent something much bigger.

These young men and women have chosen careers dedicated to helping the rest of us, often during some of the worst moments of our lives.

When most of us hear sirens, we pull over.

These are the people heading toward the emergency. 🚨

They’re the , and who respond to fires, accidents on the Overseas Highway, medical emergencies, rescues and countless situations most of us hope we never experience.

Here in the Keys, that responsibility means even more.

We’re a chain of islands connected by bridges and one main highway, surrounded by water and separated from many of the resources available on the mainland. When something goes wrong, our are the people we depend on.

Today, we’d like you to remember the newest names joining that family:

🚒 FF/EMT Blake Angulo
🚒 FF/EMT Inkhnaton Brown
🚒 FF/EMT Luis Cordova
🚒 FF/EMT Darryl Cozier
🚒 FF/EMT Emmanuel Fernandez
🚒 FF/EMT Mark Forman
🚒 FF/EMT Andrew Gallo
🚒 FF/EMT Mylan Henriquez
🚒 FF/EMT Nicholas Jimenez
🚒 FF/EMT Lucas Lezcano
🚒 FF/EMT Cristobal Martinez
🚒 FF/EMT Domenic Mata
🚒 FF/EMT Michael Rilo
🚒 FF/EMT Tyler Rodriguez
🚒 FF/EMT Sean Salazar
🚒 FF/EMT Giovanni Santiago
🚒 FF/EMT Brandon Shuman
🚒 FF/EMT George Sigler
🚑 FF/PM Timothy Sotomayor

Chief Colina summed up what this day represents:

“Today represents more than receiving a badge and a pin. It represents a commitment to serve our community, to be there for people during some of their most difficult moments, and to uphold the high standards expected of Monroe County Fire Rescue.”

Some of these new firefighters begin their first shift Friday.

Today they stood beside their families, received their pins and shook the hand of their chief.

Tomorrow, the tones could drop. 🚨

And when they do, they’ll head out to help someone they’ve never met.

Maybe one of us.

Maybe someone we love.

It’s also a reminder to appreciate all the , EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers and other personnel throughout the Florida Keys who already answer those calls every day.

Most of us hope we never need them. But if the day ever comes when we dial 911 for our child, spouse, parent, friend or neighbor, these are the people we’re counting on to come through that door. ❤️

So from all of us at , congratulations to these 19 newest members, and congratulations to Chief Colina and the entire Monroe County Fire Rescue family on welcoming the next generation into its ranks.

May you all have long, successful and, most importantly, safe careers.

And to every first responder serving throughout the Florida Keys — thank you for being there when our needs you most. 🚒🚑❤️

👇 Let’s show them what the Florida Keys community is all about. Leave a message below welcoming these 19 new members — or give a shout-out to a firefighter, EMT, paramedic or first responder who has made a difference in your life.

Welcome to the family. And thank you for choosing to serve ours. ❤️

🛏️❤️ 20 YEARS OF TAKING CARE OF THE UPPER KEYS 🌴

----------------

There’s something to be said for a owner who is still standing behind the same counter, taking care of the same community, twenty years later.

That’s Lazaro “Laz” Hernandez. ❤️

Most people around the simply know him as Laz from in . For roughly two decades, he’s been helping locals find the right mattress, answering questions, making deliveries happen and doing business the old-fashioned way — one customer at a time.

And I think that’s worth talking about. 🌴

The have changed quite a bit over the last twenty years. Businesses have opened and closed, ownership has changed, and online shopping has completely changed the way we buy just about everything.

But Laz has kept showing up.

Year after year. Customer after customer.

He’s built his business largely on something you can’t order online — trust. 🤝

Talk to people who have done business with Laz and you’ll hear many of the same things. He listens. He knows his products. He doesn’t pressure people. And when somebody needs help, he does his best to take care of them.

That may sound simple, but anyone who owns a knows it isn’t.

A good reputation takes years to build, especially in a small community like ours where everybody seems to know everybody.

One happy customer tells a neighbor.

That neighbor sends a friend.

Years later, those same people come back when they need another mattress for their home, rental property, kids or visiting family.

That’s how really works. ❤️

It’s also how a business becomes part of a community instead of simply being another storefront along Overseas Highway.

Laz has certainly faced his share of challenges along the way. Years ago, he survived a serious automobile accident that broke his neck and temporarily left him paralyzed. He fought through a long recovery, rebuilt his life and eventually found his way to the Keys.

But that’s just one chapter of his story.

The bigger story is what he’s done since.

For around twenty years, Laz has made a living right here in Key Largo while serving the people who live here. His customers are also his neighbors, and many of those neighbors have become longtime customers and friends.

That kind of goes both ways. 🏝️

So the next time you need a mattress, before automatically going online or heading to a big-box store, remember there’s a local guy right here who has spent two decades earning the community’s trust.

Stop by Mattress & Beyond at 📍 99411 Overseas Highway, Suite #5 in Key Largo, or give Laz a call at 📞 305-451-4849.

You’re not just buying a mattress.

You’re supporting a who has spent twenty years supporting the community that supports him. ❤️

And here in the , I think that still means something.

🚨📸 FLORIDA PULLS THE PLUG ON LICENSE PLATE READERS — CAMERAS ORDERED OFF STATE HIGHWAYS 🚔⚠️
---‐--‐----------

just made a major move in the growing debate over license plate readers, privacy and government surveillance.

And this isn't just talk.

⏰ A 30-DAY CLOCK IS NOW RUNNING.

The (FDOT) issued a memorandum dated August 31, 2026, revoking permits that allowed local law enforcement agencies to place automated license plate recognition systems within rights-of-way along Florida's State Highway System.

🚫 Existing cameras covered by those permits must be removed within 30 days.

If agencies don't remove them, FDOT says the department will.

And effective immediately, says it will stop approving future requests for these systems within its jurisdiction.

👀 WHY IS FLORIDA TAKING ACTION?

This is where things get interesting.

FDOT specifically pointed to the "exponential increase" of along Florida roadways, coupled with reports of misuse, data privacy concerns and surveillance schemes.

📸 These aren't ordinary traffic cameras.

Automated license plate readers photograph passing vehicles and identify their plates, creating searchable records that can show where and when a vehicle was observed.

🚔 says they're valuable tools for locating stolen vehicles, identifying vehicles connected to crimes, finding suspects and assisting with missing-person investigations.

But there's another side.

🔐 Most vehicles photographed belong to ordinary people who aren't suspected of committing any crime.

That raises some big questions:

Who can search that information? How long is it stored? Who can it be shared with? And what prevents it from being misused?

⚠️ HERE'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.

This is NOT a statewide ban on every license plate reader in Florida.

The FDOT order applies specifically to affected systems installed by local law enforcement within State Highway System rights-of-way controlled by FDOT.

Cameras on county roads, city streets, private property or elsewhere outside FDOT's jurisdiction aren't automatically removed by this order.

Some agencies are already responding. The Alachua County Sheriff's Office, for example, has announced that 27 affected readers will be removed.

⚖️ And now Florida finds itself right in the middle of a much bigger question:

How do we balance technology that can help catch criminals with the of millions of people who haven't done anything wrong?

Florida just drew a pretty significant line.

🔥 WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Do license plate readers make us safer — or have we reached the point where too many cameras are tracking where ordinary people go?

👇 KEEP THE CAMERAS — OR TAKE THEM DOWN?

🚨🏝️ WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG, STARTS AT THE TOP

--------------

We recently shared the story about the arrest of former Tax Collector employee Sandi Marie Wensel. But there is another side to this story that we think is worth talking about — how Monroe County Tax Collector Sam Steele responded.

Wensel was arrested by the on felony and misdemeanor charges involving the alleged fraudulent issuance of a Florida identification card.

⚖️ IMPORTANT: Wensel has been accused, not convicted. These are allegations in an active criminal case and have not been proven in court. She is presumed INNOCENT unless and until proven GUILTY beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Here in the , we're a small community. We know many of our elected officials, see them around town and expect them to take care of the offices we've trusted them to run.

According to Steele, after learning what happened, Wensel's employment was terminated and his office began cooperating with and state investigators.

🔎 What caught our attention is what Steele says he's doing next.

The state's Fraud Unit is reviewing Wensel's previous transactions. Steele says he has ordered additional daily reviews inside his office, is working on stronger auditing procedures and has reached out for additional training for his employees.

🏛️ Steele said something in his letter that really stood out:

“A public office is a public trust.”

We agree.

Now, we're not going to say a strong letter automatically answers every question. It doesn't. The needs to run its course, and if additional problems are discovered, the public deserves to know about them. That's part of .

But we also believe in giving someone credit when they appear willing to look inside their own house and hold people .

👏 So far, Sam Steele appears to be doing that.

One employee's alleged actions shouldn't define an entire office of people who work every day serving our . But ultimately, starts at the top.

If more of our elected officials approached problems with this level of , and willingness to take action, we think our community would be better for it.

💬 What do you think?

Are you satisfied with how Sam Steele is handling this situation?

And before somebody turns this into politics… 😂
I don’t care who you voted for.

I just want to know when filling up the truck became a major financial decision. 😂

👇 Beat $152.16. Let’s hear it.
