Should Beachfronts Have Lightning Detection?

A healthy debate surrounding the necessity versus inessential need for lightning monitoring systems on beachfronts will be topics of discussion in the near future for local government agencies. The matter has arisen in light of the recent lightning fatality and injuries on Fort Myers Beach.  During Tuesday's Lee County Board of County Commissioners meeting, Commissioner Larry Kiker received approval from the board to act as a liaison among county officials to look into the feasibility of placing lightning alert systems at county beachfront parks. He hopes to coordinate that activity with other local government representatives and staff members who have knowledge on the subject.


Investment Group Buys longtime Beach Lounge

A long-standing establishment within Times Square in the heart of Fort Myers Beach served its last "world famous rum runner" under former ownership recently.  Top O'Mast Lounge closed its doors prior to last weekend after Persaud Property FL Investments, LLC purchased the property at 1028 Estero Blvd. from longtime owner Steve Strauss Thursday. The bar and one-time restaurant under the previous name was reportedly open for more than 40 years and sold within 24 hours of its listing.
