☀️🌱 Plus: PSL needs your input & This is Sunland!
Good Morning, Sunland!
It’s Friday! I was just getting ready to celebrate hitting 2,500 subscribers on Sunland News yesterday, but when I looked up, I realized 2,586 of you are reading this right now. Guess there’s no time to rest on my celebratory laurels! 🙌 Thank you all for being here!
If you missed it, yesterday’s events list is packed with things happening around town—so go ahead, dive in and make some plans here.
🫡 Salute: My Dad—for being both a supporter (emotional and editorial at times 😂) and a constant source of life advice. This morning's gem: “It’s a long journey at the start, but it only gets shorter with each day you keep going.”
🍕 Thinking About Trying: Pulcinella Italian Gourmet Market & Wood Fired Pizza (say that three times fast!). This new spot popped up in Tradition, promising Italian imports, market goods, and wood-fired NY-style pizza. They’ve got outdoor seating for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Might be worth a visit!

Stoney’s is Back! Grand Opening Today!
Stoney’s is Back! After a long wait, Stoney is officially reopening his restaurant today—November 1st—at a brand-new location: 25th Street and Avenue I in Fort Pierce.
The Past
Stoney’s has been a local staple, but his previous location in Sable Palms Plaza posed some challenges. Tucked into a corner, the spot limited his ability to grow the brand and connect with the community. (See the full interview we did with him here.) Still, Stoney made an impression—serving up some of the best food in town and building loyal supporters, including Sunland News.
The Now
Today, November 1st, Stoney is officially reopening in a more prominent spot: 912 N 25th St in Fort Pierce. The doors open at 11 a.m., with plans to stay open until 9 p.m. as the team adjusts. For Stoney, this new location is more than just a move; it's a chance to take his brand to the next level. His commitment to the community and his love for good food are stronger than ever, and he’s ready to welcome everyone back.
What’s Next
This is more than a reopening—it’s a fresh start. Stoney's commitment to community and family is palpable. Over the past months, I’ve seen it up. Capturing the journey and seeing firsthand how deeply he cares about this venture. Stoney was one of the first to believe in the mission of Sunland News, and I’m rooting for his success. So, head over, grab a meal, and let’s make this reopening a memorable one for Stoney and the community he serves.
