Tourism reporter @PTolleyOBJ got her hands on @boringcompany’s bid documents for the @UniversalORL transit system. Real interesting stuff that lays out some of what to expect. (Great job, PT! 👏)

@BriManIU This is life now. Just unfiltered pain.

It’s only week 1.

Orlando business leaders tell @OBJUpdate Universal Orlando may be looking to partner with Elon Musk’s Boring Co. on a “Vegas Loop”-style tunnel along International Drive.

So this chatter amongst key I-Drive players is interesting.

BACK-TO-BACK STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

Almost there Cats.

The Florida Panthers have a three-goal lead with 20 minutes remaining! How we feeling, South Florida? Gifs only.

Just a few choice photos from my visit to @UniversalORL #EpicUniverse yesterday. Didn’t get to try many rides due to wait (Ministry ride was great tho), but to see it in real life after covering it for years was surreal as always. To those visiting today, enjoy and hydrate!

I get this is like first-world complaints, but I’ve been in Battle at the Ministry’s queue for over an hour. This may be the slowest moving line I’ve ever been in. Not sure what’s up. @UniversalORL #EpicUniverse

First post in a while, but it had to be that I am back on the beat for today at @UniversalORL #EpicUniverse. Crazy to be here after writing about the concept years ago. (Photo from inside the Atlantic in Celestial Park.)

Congrats to the @orlvalkyries!

@GabrielleRusson You got this! Keep taking one step forward. 💪

I hate making mistakes. No excuses. It’s just hard for me to sometimes think clearly as I’m working from home during a holiday week like this with no childcare. My tired brain gets dumber.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE ORLANDO PRIDE ARE NWSL CHAMPIONS 🏆 History made, dreams realized 🔥 Congratulations on an unforgettable season! #NWSLChampionship

The envisioned Skyplex land is looking for a new player. The owner is accepting bids with proposals for what developers might do with the land. bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2…
