Implying that LGBTQ people are a danger to our children is an old trick used to justify persecution. 'I think this is wrong and sends the wrong message about our community. Pedophilia and homosexuality are not connected,' Peel told the Democrat. 'I understand that we are a community with diverse beliefs and opinions, but this crosses the line.

It is an embarrassment and the people at Rick’s Repair Shop should be ashamed of their foolish, hurtful, and wrong words,' the tweet reads. 'This kind of bigotry should have no place in our Tallahassee community.

Highway 90, also known as Mahan Drive in Tallahassee, snapped a picture of the sign and posted it to Twitter. Jackson Peel, communication director for the Democratic Caucus of the Florida House of Representatives, was told of the sign on Sunday by a friend. The shop's sign is known for displaying attention-grabbing, and sometimes controversial, messages. Records indicate the auto repair shop, located in the Baum Community in Leon County, is affiliated with a Tallahassee man named Rick Hughes, who has not returned the Tallahassee Democrat's call for comment. Highway 90, in front of Rick's Repair Shop, a sign reads: 'Veterans get a day f- and child molesters get a month why.' The phone number is 40.A sign with a homophobic slur outside of a Tallahassee business is causing controversy on social media. It is open for lunch Monday through Saturday and dinner daily. Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar is at 5621 Old Winter Garden Road, Orlando. They were good enough, and sufficiently messy.īut again, don’t come here for the hot food, come for the cold oysters. My friend had a half pound of steamed Peel and Eat Shrimp, a surprisingly large serving of shrimp sprinkled with bay seasoning (on the outside of the shells that were to be peeled away) served with something that for argument’s sake we’ll call drawn butter. Meanwhile, we watched the shuckers shuck, and every now and then someone would use a long handled tool to rake shells and other debris down the concrete trough through a hole with a galvanized can under it.įor my kitchen food I ordered the Fried Fish, a fish and chips style serving of pollock with a beer batter coating served with fries, both undistinguished. We were also presented with a whole sleeve of saltines (I have to admit I’ve never quite understood the saltines and oyster connection) and some cocktail sauce. The beers were appropriately cold and the oysters were delightfully plump and chewy, but not at all tough. We ordered a couple of beers and a dozen oysters and some “kitchen food” as well.

There are more than nine stools now, but they’re all usually occupied - and the only acceptable place to sit here. My companion and I stopped by on a recent rainy evening and lucked out with a couple of just-vacated stools at the oyster bar.

But as odd as it may seem today, oysters weren’t common inland. Rick had been in the navy and discovered oysters in Florida’s panhandle. They raised their family in the back part of the building. Husband and wife Lee and Rick Richter opened the restaurant in 1950 as a nine-stool business that only sold oysters. From the cheesy boat facade to the concrete bar with big hunks chipped away from years of shuckers banging their knives on it to pry open oyster shells, this Orlando institution is a delight for the senses. And while it is scheduled to reopen soon with a new owner, its diveyness will have to be determined.īut Lee & Rick’s, now in its sixty-ninth year, is still around and just as unrefined as always. Wally’s, as those still in mourning know, closed last year. Whenever anyone asked about Orlando dives - and you’d be surprised how often people ask - there were always two immediate answers: Wally’s and Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar. Orlando Classics is an occasional look at Central Florida restaurants that have been in business for at least 25 years.
