Indoor Farmers Market Coming to Fashion Square Mall on the Weekends
Fashion Square Mall (3201 E. Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL 32803) is not only home to Orlando's oldest and largest food truck event, not only geting a makeover including the addition of a hotel, but starting Saturday, May 25, 2013, noon-4 pm, they're getting an indoors farmers market.
The Fashion Square Mall Farmers Market will be open mall hours every Saturday and Sunday and located in the West Court.
The produce will come from Eat More Produce. They'll have fruits and vegetables, free-range eggs, local homemade granola and other artisan foods, and salsas, guacamole and hummus prepared fresh daily.
And all of it in the comfort of sweet, cool air conditioning!

How Could Orlando Fringe Be Better?
The final question on TheDailyCity.com Audience Choice Awards ballot is "What would make the festival better next year?" (Remember that round 2 voting starts today at noon. Go here to vote. Winners announced at Fringe 10pm Sunday night.) Many of you answered that question. Here are a select number of things voters mentioned. Leave a comment if you'd like to add your two cents. Again, these came from the ballots cast by voters.
- cut down on the number of shows! too many to see, not enough time
- free parking
- a shuttle bus (not a bike) to and from a free parking garage (for performers who have stuff to schlep.)
- better website. better directions. an iphone app. better signage. better graphics.
- a transit system to go from venue to venue.
- less spread out.
- there should be a 'day button' that's only $5. it would make convincing non-theatre people, who are only coming to the festival to see one show...maybe with the chance at the end of the day to - upgrade your button, if you see something, hang out out the festival, and think, 'i wanna see more stuff' - really simple buttons...each day a different color.
- better advertising.
- weather proofing: mulch for the outdoor area for better drainage, less puddles.
- more healthy & vegetarian food vending to showcase orlando's amazing local options.
- maybe one huge big top tent to contain the beer bar, liquor bar and music stage all in one area!
- for those artists who would like (and they all should), some way to drop a comment card after shows. of course, encouraging kudos and/or constructive criticism.
- more publicity from local media and extend the run for the most popular shows.
- better signage. it was a bit difficult to locate the silver and green venues once it became dark
- add valet parking. would rather pay someone to park my car than to search one a spot. :)
- to have more meet and greets from the shows
- more vendors accepting cards/ability to purchase fringe button with card
- the lawn wasn't as lively as usual. i think adding three extra venues in one year was a bit much. many people felt stretched.
- having it longer, maybe 3 weeks, so it can be possible to se more shows. there is never enough time to see all that you want to see!

Dr. Phillips Center Hosts Event Commemorating Placement of the Highest Beam
The Dr Phillips Center for the Performing Arts celebrated a
major milestone on Thursday, May 23, 2013 with the placement of the highest
beam of the building. The 12,000 pound
beam was placed on the top of the 300-seat Alexis & Jim Pugh Community
Theater. At 60 feet long the massive
beam was an impressive sight to see soar over the construction. The placement was surrounded by plenty of
pomp and circumstance. A live orchestra
played as more than 200 guests signed the beam.
Then a slew of speakers made statements of how important the new center
is for Central Florida, most also reminded the crowd that Phase2 is still in
need of more funding before it can begin.
The beam was then lifted as the orchestra played, now moved from the
stage and set up within the construction site itself. The impressive sight caused pedestrians to
stop on nearby sidewalks. After the beam
was placed a lunch was provided by Bubbalou's Bodacious BBQ.

Springfield Coming To Universal Studios Orlando
After months of completely obvious construction Universal Studios has finally announced the Springfield is coming. The new Simpsons themed area will take over the former International Film & Food Festival Restaurant along with the lakeshore area in front of the restaurant and current Simpson ride.
“This will be a must-see experience for Simpsons fans all over the world,” said Mark Woodbury, President of Universal Creative. “For the first time ever, they’re going to be able to enter a world that they’ve only seen on television – and we’re really excited to bring that world to life.”
The new area is the first fictional setting visible from the central lake at Universal Studios and is also the first fictional setting to involve multiple attractions for the park. The Simpsons ride has already proven to be popular with guests at the park, often times reporting some of the longest waits of any family attraction within Universal Studios.
“This new expansion will broaden and deepen the already incredible experience at Universal, by bringing to life the iconic landmarks of Springfield that fans have grown to love,” said Jeffrey Godsick, President, Fox Consumer Products. “Fans will literally be able to live and breathe Springfield as they visit the statue of Jebediah, enjoy a Krusty Burger, and have a seat at Moe’s Tavern, which are just a few of the great experiences awaiting at Universal.”
The current attraction will remain the central focus on the new land but will be joined by a number of new additions. Springfield icons such as the central park statue seen in the show will be featured throughout the new land. New Simpsons characters, Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob, will be featured in the new land.

Springfield will be broken into two sub-lands:
Krustyland- The area in front of the current Simpsons ride will keep its Krustyland theme and the carnival games found there. A new ride Kang & Kudo’s Twirl ‘n’ Hurl will be added to the land. This carnival style spinner is similar to Dumbo but here “foolish humans” will fly UFOs instead

Marlow's Tavern Winter Park Now Has Its Signage
Marlow’s Tavern has been very popular with their Pointe Orlando location. We first reported in December, 2012 that they would be opening their second Orlando area location in Winter Park this year. We shared the renderings of what the new location would look like then. The former McDonalds would keep much of its bones but would be updated with new materials used on the façade. The interior would essentially be gutted and updated to meet the upscale dining room of Marlow’s.
The new location will open in June, 2013. It is currently finishing the remodel. Recently the new location received its signage.
The restaurant will serve lunch, happy hour, and dinner daily Sunday through Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11:30 a.m. to midnight. The Winter Park location is located at 1008 S. Orlando Avenue in Winter Park, just north of the intersection of S. Orlando Avenue (17-92) and N. Orange Avenue.
Also make sure to keep an eye out for even more Marlow’s opening across the region. The Orlando Business Journal is reporting that Celebration, Dr. Phillips, and Waterford Lakes are also potential sites for future Marlow's Taverns.
