Have you ever had one of those days when dinner time rolls around and cooking is the last thing you feel like doing? Or maybe you want to meet a friend or client for a quick bite somewhere you can count on quality without breaking the bank. The answer to your dilemma is Tony's Pizza and Subs Italian Restaurant. I live less than a mile from the Eustis location and yet I had continually passed it up until last year when I wanted to pick up a couple pizzas and some wings to take to a friend's house for a gathering. Never again will I pass this place up. The menu includes pizza, calzones (the specialty), pasta dishes, salads, subs and a variety of side dishes. You can enjoy wine or beer with your meal and top off your meal with a decadent dessert like tiramisu, cannoli or cheesecake. Tony's... 09/01/2008

I don't know about you but one of the things I don't like about moving to a new community is finding new service businesses. One of these businesses is the dry cleaner. In Eustis and Mount Dora I have found a dry cleaner I can highly recommend. I have taken my dry cleaning to Pugh's Dry Cleaners for 8 years now starting with the archiving of my wedding gown. Pugh's has two locations; one in Eustis and one in Mount Dora. I used the Mount Dora location for several years until I discovered the Eustis location was a better fit into my regular travels. Both locations have an excellent staff and I have always received good service. I recommend Pugh's for all your dry cleaning needs. Pugh's also offers alteration services, wedding gown preservation, and rug and comforter cleaning. Interested i... 09/01/2008

  Gas prices are hovering around $4.00/ gallon (diesel is $4.75/ gallon on a good day,) airlines are charging for checked bags and talking of fare increases and surcharges, and restaurants are raising prices because their suppliers are raising prices. The family budget is feeling pinched and you might not be able to eke out the traditional road trip vacation. Personally I am faced with the children being out of school and I am trying to come up with fun things to do on the cheap for 2 ½ months. I have already checked out The Eustis Memorial Library summer reading program and put it on the schedule. We will travel to exotic locales through the pages of books. We will be limited only by our imaginations. We will also go to the park, take some nature walks and go to the Eustis Pool. We hav... 06/12/2008

Downtown Eustis is experiencing a revitalization, a rebirth if you will. In 2003, Waterman Hospital left its downtown location to new state of the art facilities on HWY 441. The building which housed the hospital and formerly the Waterman Hotel was demolished. The Lake Eustis Foundation was established to develop the property. The vision the foundation has for the property is retail, restaurant and office space on a lower level with luxury residential living space above. Unfortunately the real estate market and rising costs of development has affected these plans. The Lake Eustis Foundation has placed the property on the market.    Some downtown businesses have suffered with the relocation of the hospital. The many employees, health care professionals, patients and their families provid... 05/06/2008

How many of you read that title and muttered something negative about my proofreading?

Each one is a unique character with its own name and attitude.These unique creations make a great gift and are available right here in historic downtown Eustis, Florida at Peddler's Wagon.  05/06/2008

 I fell in love with the magnolia several years ago. I don't remember the title of the book I was reading but it was set in New Orleans. The author described the fragrance to such a degree I could actually smell the blossoms in the pages of that book.From that time on I took note of the magnolia trees. The beauty and the fragrance that author described have stayed with me. I have a magnolia tree and this picture was taken by me Friday. This was the first bloom of the season on my tree. Today that bloom is gone, destroyed by the heat and lack of rainfall. Fleeting beauty...Lately I have also been enjoying the wonderful scents of confederate jasmine and gardenias. Lake County Florida is in full bloom. 05/06/2008

Living in Lake County, aptly named with 1400 lakes, my children have learned lesson #1 rather easily.Lesson #1 -- If there is water, an alligator is nearby. Unique Car Game... Drive along Lakeshore Drive and challenge your children to find and count the gators in the lake! This is very exciting, especially for the four year old who is now able to count to 20. This also reinforces lesson #1. Depending on the day and time we can see no gators or more than ten. Lesson #2-- Even if you can't see them, they are there. Yesterday while I was out and about, camera in hand as usual, I decided to take a walk along the shores of Lake Eustis, a beautiful 7,000 acre lake that provides a picturesque background to historic downtown Eustis. Of course I was hoping to spot a creature or two along the way... 03/11/2008

Whether you enjoy boats or bikes, horses or birds, antiques or art, Lake County has it for you.I have called Lake County home since 1999. This is the Lake County I know...I was a crime scene investigator with the Orange County Sheriff's Office when I met  and married my husband, a deputy with the agency. At the time I lived in downtown Orlando area and I enjoyed the faster pace and many conveniences of the city. (You know, lattes and Chinese food delivery.) He had called Lake County home for over twenty years after growing up in Zellwood and doing a stint in the Navy. When we married I moved to his Lake County home.I live in Eustis, located in the heart of central Florida along the eastern shore of Lake Eustis. With a population of 17,000 and growing Eustis has a small town friendliness... 03/07/2008

My wife, daughter, and I were looking for something to do today.  All week long, we saw signs and flyers for the Sunlove Fest at Ferran Park in Eustis, Florida.  There was to be music, art, and food... coming from S. Florida, we were thinking along the lines of Sunfest or Artigras.When we arrived, the traffic and parking were very light.  That should have been our first clue.  Well, we continued.  At the gate, we were told that it would cost $4/adult (children under a certain age were free... guess who got in for nothing?).  We decide to bit the bullet and pay.Anyway, we start walking around.  I notice that there are very few booths and a band playing on a stage with even fewer people paying attention.  As we begin the circle around the festival, it became evident that we were out of ou... 05/20/2007

2 Average Joes Vs. Black Bear Golf Club (Eustis, Florida)Aye, Lasses and Lads... I had the best time playing my round of golf today.  A crisp cool 50 degrees with a wind that would make you wish you wore something under your kilt.  My wife thought I was insane to go out today, but I needed to satisfy my craving for the course.If the roughs were knee high reeds and heather, I could have sworn I was playing on a Links course over in Scotland today.  Between the weather and the course itself, I was probably as close as I ever would be.So let's get started with this review from 1 Average Joe.  Yes, you heard right... 1 Average Joe.  Marc had an "Open House" that he had to attend to.  (Turns out he paid the price for not showing up... no one showed up at the "Open").  Rich, who made plans to... 02/18/2007
