As proud Tallahassee locals, we can’t help but gush about everything this city has to offer. It’s truly a hidden gem blending history, natural beauty, and modern culture. We were delighted to find Jennifer McKee’s take on “Florida’s renaissance city… embracing its future while honoring its past.” 💜🍃 | Orlando Magazine
📜 History: Step back in time at the Florida Historic Capitol Museum for a dive into the state’s unique past. Mission San Luis is open to the public from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Tuesday through Sunday where the 17th-century Spanish mission comes to life.
🌳 Nature: Explore Alfred B. Maclay Gardens with its scenic trails and ornamental gardens, or visit Wakulla Springs, one of the world’s largest freshwater springs, perfect for boat tours and swimming.
🧵 Arts and Culture: Railroad Square Art District is a vibrant hub of galleries, shops, and monthly First Friday events, while the Tallahassee Museum combines wildlife, history, and zipline adventures. (Note: The article was published in Nov. ‘24, we realize that our beloved Railroad Art District will soon be a past time as the developers plan to sell. We hope the city will come to a resolution to support our creative community.)
🚵🏻 Outdoor Fun: Tallahassee boasts 700+ miles of trails, including the scenic St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail leading to the coast.
🍻 Local Eats: Savor Southern favorites at The Edison or Amicus Brewing Ventures, and don’t skip Bradley’s Country Store for its legendary sausage and grits.
🎶 Nightlife: Cascades Park shines with concerts at the Adderley Amphitheater, and Eve on Adams offers stunning rooftop views and cocktails.

Piersica | What is the differentiator?
The key to Piersica’s technology is its unmatched cell level energy density of more than 600 Wh/kg, or approximately triple that of current battery technology. They are able to get this result by using its proprietary polymer electrolyte and by improving the lithium metal anode. The challenge with maximizing battery energy density is a correspondingly low charge rate. Piersica’s fiber-based lithium metal anode design enables a fast charge, in addition to high energy density.🔋
