Good morning, Tallahassee.

Big Randy's in Woodville — located on Oak Ridge Road — is planning to expand as owner Jason Kornegay considers a new site in Tallahassee or his Crawfordville hometown.

The restaurant, known for its loaded fries and sweet wing deals, supports local causes and aims to have three locations by 2026.

A 26-year-old Bristol man named John Caleb Allen fired multiple rounds at ATF agents and Liberty County Sheriff's deputies while they executed a federal warrant at his home on July 24 — officers sustained minor injuries and he now faces charges for assault and illegal possession of a machine gun.

Tallahassee hosts a busy weekend as Cash’s Juke Joint (1105 W.

Tharpe St.) performs blues at 7 p.m. today while Final Friday at Amicus Brewing (717 S. Gadsden St.) brings local bands and food; additional events include a roller derby game on July 26, a community contra dance tonight at the Senior Center for the Arts, and a drag tribute on Sunday.

Florida Congressman Neal Dunn said he is fighting to restore nearly $16 million in federal funding for Tallahassee's Mag Lab after a proposed 40% cut—he made his case at the White House policy office.

Dunn said the lab helps the U.S. keep up with China in tech work, supports over 500 jobs, and adds more than $325 million to Florida’s economy.

Florida passed a law that requires an electrocardiogram for every middle and high school athlete before sports – the rule will go into effect in Fall 2026 to check for hidden heart conditions.

The law was spurred by the death of Chance Gainer and other student-athletes – state officials say the screenings can catch conditions early.

Tallahassee neighbors gathered on Thursday at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare as the hospital celebrated 40 years of animal therapy by unveiling a new mural painted by longtime volunteer Nancy Upthegrove.

The program grew from one team to more than 200 teams providing care at over 150 locations—marking a key milestone in its mission.
