In the Know: Growing number of Cannabis options on Bonita Buzz Road; more Jersey Mike s coming Phil Fernandez, Naples Daily News
Bonita Beach Road?
Nah.
Bonita Buzz Road, part of a five-mile or so Cannabis corridor where now about 10 medical marijuana dealers have set up shop.
The latest sprouted two weeks ago at 28500 Bonita Crossing, just past Pinchers on north U.S. 41 on your right as you approach Bonita Beach Road, but before the McDonald s. Taco Bell s pretty much across the street. Might come in handy later.
Housed in a former rug store, One Plant Florida is where qualified patients can get a Magic Carpet Ride to treat what ails you.

More new restaurants in Lee
The local restaurant world just keeps turning. Last month, I wrote about 26 new restaurants opening from Naples to North Fort Myers. Last week, I filled in some more blank restaurant spaces with news of four more launches, a closure and two moves in Lee County. Read all about them in The News-Press and Naples Daily News.
The change is meant to make reviews more transparent and more ethical. It gives readers and restaurants actual
humans they can go to with grievances, queries, praise and condemnation. Those things should go both ways. It s only fair.
No other aspect of our review process is changing.
Here s how we operate:
Reviews are never scheduled
We visit restaurants unannounced, meaning we make reservations, when required, under other names. We don t give restaurants time to prepare for our arrival. A restaurant can request a review, but we are not required to give one. Reviews are written at the sole discretion of the critics. Our reviews are not influenced by advertising or any relationship a restaurant may have with our staff.
