Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Are red light cameras really making driving safer? Local cities and counties release annual data (clickorlando.com) — Kissimmee drivers helped generate more than $2.3 million in red-light camera fines last year, with about $1.2 million staying in city coffers after the state's share. The report compares Kissimmee's numbers with other Central Florida communities and raises questions about whether the growing camera network is improving safety or mainly boosting revenue.
2. Kissimmee Travel Guide (airbnb.com) — If you live in Kissimmee, this guide doubles as a reminder of everything in your backyard, from Lakefront Park and Shingle Creek trails to historic Broadway and Old Town. It highlights the best seasons, local events, dinner shows, and neighborhood spots, plus practical tips on getting around town and enjoying nearby lakes, marshes, and theme parks.
3. Alabama's Beck claims title despite adversity at Phoenix Bass Fishing League event at Pickwick Lake (majorleaguefishing.com) — Kissimmee anglers and fans can look ahead to a major spotlight as the 2027 BFL All-American championship is scheduled for June 5–7 on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, hosted by Experience Kissimmee. The announcement comes in coverage of a recent Mississippi Division event and outlines how top regional competitors will qualify to fish here.
4. Florida Nudist Resort Gets Bombarded With Fake Reviews Over a GTA 6 Leak (gtaboom.com) — Just outside Kissimmee, Cypress Cove nudist resort has spent the past week battling a flood of fake Google reviews after gamers linked it to a leaked Grand Theft Auto VI location. The family-owned business has documented the spam, refused extortion attempts, and responded with humor while reminding people it's a real Florida resort, not a video game setting.
5. The Food Revolution Nobody Planned (thedailyeconomy.org) — Kissimmee's WorldFoodTrucks is spotlighted as the nation's first and largest food truck park, with over 100 trucks and more than 80 global cuisines open daily, late on weekends. The piece argues that privately run markets like this, food halls, and grocery stores quietly revolutionize how Americans eat by lowering costs and expanding choices without government programs.
