25 Women: Amanda Morrison finds magic in Tallahassee s supportive restaurant culture
Heather Fuselier
You better fasten your seatbelt before getting into a conversation with Amanda Morrison; she is going places, and fast.
In fact, she moves so fast that she didn’t even know she had been named one of Tallahassee’s 25 Women You Need to Know until her phone started buzzing with alerts and text messages of congratulations. “I have admired the women on this list for years,” she says with enthusiasm, “so it is really humbling to be added to it.”
Morrison arrived on the Tallahassee scene in 2001 as a first-generation college student. “I was not a good student,” she admits. Already a veteran of the hospitality business, where she had been working since the age of 15, she was driven to work. “I was more likely to work a double than to go to class,” she recalls.

Clinton Countians must remain vigilant against COVID-19
By Pam Bauer, Clinton County Health Commissioner - and Mike McCarty, Clinton County Commissioner
It would be safe to say with a high degree of certainty that everyone is suffering from pandemic fatigue; even pandemic anger.
We are all tired of wearing masks, or being told to wear masks, or walking halfway across a store parking lot only to remember that you forgot your mask.
It is getting more difficult each day to keep our distance from people in our lives that are considered high-risk. We understand that because we have the same feelings we miss our friends and families, too.
Festive days at Nike Center
Submitted article
Santa himself has put the Clinton County Board of Developmental Disabilities (CCBDD) on the nice list this year as Superintendent Kyle Lewis geared up to dress as Santa for the Nike Center’s Holiday Drive Thru lights party on Thursday.
He received a phone call from a detective with Santa’s Nice until Proven Naughty Department letting us know that Santa would love to join the CCBDD for the party.
We would like to give a special thank you to Mike Daugherty for transporting the guest of honor out to the Nike Center for the event, and Bob Wilson for arranging the transportation.
