FSView highlights Le Point Pastry & Bakery, a family-run shop that opened in August and quickly became a local hit with its French & Venezuelan-inspired treats at its All Saints Street location.
The bakery offers creative pastries and coffee six days a week.
🎓 Education
Florida State University has launched a free 10-week FSU+ program to help undergraduate pre-law students prepare for the LSAT, as rising exam scores highlight growing competition and the high cost of test prep.

🏛️ Government
The Tallahassee Fire Department became an approved National Association of EMTs Training Center and hosted its first Prehospital Trauma Life Support course this week, training clinicians with hands-on trauma skill stations + practical scenarios.
This new designation makes it the only such center within about 150 miles.
