New Amphitheater Opening In Downtown Fort Myers

Tomorrow will be a big day in downtown Fort Myers as a new amphitheater will be celebrating it's opening day.

The Caloosa Sound Convention Center & Amphitheater is located in Centennial Park right between Luminary Hotel and the Caloosahatchee River. The venue can seat between 2,500-3,000 people with 4 tiers for people to stand or sit on chairs and blankets.

The amphitheater will be used for national comedians and musical acts as well as annual events like ArtFest, Taste of the Town, Music Walk and possibly even plays from Florida Repertory Theatre.

Frank Bonafilia, executive director of Edison Awards told News-Press “It’s a long time coming for the amphitheater to be open and live, but boy is it beautiful. And I think it’s gonna change the whole landscape of downtown.”

When you think best pizza cities in America, you may think Chicago or New York...but one Florida city beat both!

Any Time Estimate scored 50 major cities on their "pizza prowess" looking at things like pizza variations, how many pizza restaurants, and price & affordability.

Any Time Estimate said, "Home of the NHL's Lightning, Tampa residents can find quality pizza in a flash. The city has a restaurant every 1.75 miles, 38% better than the average city we studied. Tampa also has 4.3 independent pizza restaurants per 100,000 residents — seventh-most of the cities we measured. Fans of Tampa pizza must have an affinity for the Mediterranean, as the city ranks No. 4 in search interest for Greek pizza and No. 5 in interest for Neapolitan pizza."
