Drive-by shooting in front of Club Firestone
So when that "safest/dangerous cities" report came out earlier this year and named Orlando as number 11 on the "most dangerous" list I turned to Casey, the fiance, and said "Compton is safer than Orlando? (Compton came in at number 14) It's not like there are drive-bys happening down Orange Avenue"
Well, next time I'll keep my mouth shut because late last night we got ourselves a drive-by, outside Club Firestone no less and right across the street from the building I'm sitting in right now writing this. The Sentinel has the story and video here.
Basically around 1:18 a.m. a gold sedan traveling on Concord pulled up next to a white Mercury Grand Marquis and fired shots into the car. The four men were on their way to Club Firestone and have not been identified, shards of glass injured one person but luckily the shots didn't get anyone. Supposedly the victims don't know who attacked them.
And now on to happier topics, Caitlin Van Voorhis, the former mistress of ceremonies at Wall St. Plaza, has left that gig but didn't travel far to her next venture. Van Voorhis has officially become owner of the spot formerly known as Room3Nine at 39 N. Orange Ave. in downtown Orlando. A renovation is taking place in the space which will be known as Finnhenry's when it reopens. Although the name sounds like it would be attached to an Irish pub, Van Voorhis is adament there is no niche she's trying to model the bar after, other than a cool, laid back place where folks can enjoy a beer and hang with friends. Sounds good to me! I'll let you know when you should expect seeing the doors open closer to the date.
