Allegiant Air may be headquartered in Las Vegas, but it’s Sanford that is the low cost airline’s No. 1 airport.
New data shows 171 Allegiant flights are scheduled to depart Orlando Sanford International Airport in July 2015. In fact, Florida airports serving Allegiant make up 46% of the flights at the company’s top 12 airports.
Paul Williams, owner of West End Trading Co. and co-owner of Celery City Craft, is the man! Yeah, yeah I know, I wrote the exact same thing last year, but the big man from Texas keeps outdoing himself!

I’m channeling Charles Dickens because I’m experiencing a tale of two Sanfords.

Paulii Buster has invested tens of thousands of dollars to turn a vacate space on Sanford Avenue into a sleek, modern Belgium beer pub that regularly draws customers from outside of Sanford — including players from the Orlando City Soccer Club.
When the city of Sanford’s Downtown Waterfront Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) announced it would spend $2.5 million to reconstruct Sanford Avenue to upgrade utilities, widen sidewalks, and enhance lighting and landscaping, Buster knew his business, Buster’s Bistro, would suffer and he made plans to mitigate the construction.
