Creative vision realized: Tallahassee Nights Live lands a home for new ventures. | Tal Dem
Tallahassee Nights Live, considered one of the most popular live musical ensembles in the city, is no stranger to performing under the stage lights of venues throughout the southeast.
This summer, its members are marking the 1st anniversary of opening the Tallahassee Nights Live Performing Arts Center, 1533 S. Monroe St., here in the capital.
For years, founder Darius “Doc” Baker saved money so the traveling group could have a place of its own under the TNL trademark. That vision paid off last year as he was driving on South Monroe Street and noticed a nondescript building that appeared to be an unclaimed space.
FOOD TREND

Whether you're a boba enthusiast or just curious to try, Starbucks has your summer sips covered. Hide your wallets, Starbucks has boba now. 🧋 | Fast Company
On May 7th, Starbucks dropped its 2024 summer menu that includes bubble tea. This summer, you’ll be able to get boba anywhere across the U.S. and Canada.
In a press release, the brand introduced its version of boba, the new Summer-Berry Starbucks Refreshers Beverages with raspberry flavored pearls.
The coffee company said it took inspiration from East Asian beverages with tapioca pearls when crafting the new drinks, focusing on adding a “refreshing pop of flavor and color” to the creations.
