NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – Dozens held signs and rallied Tuesday night outside Fernandina Beach City Hall during a city commission meeting. It all had to do with a noise ordinance that has some business owners and other local residents concerned.
Fernandina Beach’s noise ordinance states that if you’re heard from 100 feet away, you can be fined.

Virus relief package a lighthouse for Duluth restaurants and bars March 15, 2021 5:48am Text size Copy shortlink:
DULUTH – Restaurant and bar owners are calling the $28 billion in grants included in the federal coronavirus stimulus package a lifeline for Duluth s hard-hit tourism industry.
For Jason Vincent, owner of the Boat Club and Vanilla Bean restaurants in Duluth and Two Harbors, the grants give a needed layer of certainty as vaccines reach more people and business slowly returns to normal.
Vincent s restaurant group lost nearly $1 million last year, a 25% drop in revenue tied largely to the disappearance of banquet business. We have taken out all the loans we can, he said. We have mortgaged ourselves to the max. This money is grants, and that s what our industry needs right now.
The Boat House will not be reopening in the Great Lakes Maritime Center this season.
In a Facebook post Sunday, Kate’s Downtown owner Kate Voss announced she was discontinuing the Boat House in the center, a satellite location to her downtown Port Huron café.
“It just seemed like the smartest decision business-wise,” Voss said in a phone interview Monday.
She said she emailed the center’s owner, Acheson Ventures, at the beginning of February saying she would not reopen the business.
The Boat House opened in March 2019, replacing the center’s previous deli café owners who retired, and offered specials, drinks, soups, sandwiches and more. This would have been the satellite location’s third season.
