Historic Pappas Drive-In Faces Rebuilding Challenge After Devastating Fire
A devastating fire broke out at Pappas Drive-In in New Smyrna Beach, causing extensive damage and concern among the local community. The fire department responded early Monday to the scene, where heavy smoke and flames were visible from the restaurant's roof. Despite hours of firefighting efforts, the cause of the blaze is still unknown. No injuries were reported. The diner, a staple since 1970 and recently under new ownership, faces the challenge of rebuilding. Owner Victor Ganoe emphasized the importance of the diner to both him and the community, expressing his commitment to restoring the establishment. The community has rallied around the diner, with offers of support and alternative employment solutions for displaced staff.
Fysh Bar & Grill's Fight to Stay Afloat

Josif Atanasoski, landlord of Fysh Bar & Grill in Volusia County, has sued the restaurant's owner, Sid Sethi, for not keeping up with rent, alleging an overdue amount of over $229,000. Despite the lawsuit, Sethi remains hopeful and committed to the restaurant, which has become a significant local landmark since its opening in October 2022. The legal action seeks to reclaim the property due to breach of contract, with Sethi looking to negotiate a repayment plan and possibly restructure his debts. Amidst this turmoil, interest from a national chain in the property has emerged, though Sethi wishes to continue his efforts to revitalize the restaurant. The situation reflects the broader challenges facing the hospitality industry, underscored by the community's hope for a positive outcome.

Kenn Dahl's car insurance rates surged by 21% in 2022 after data about his driving habits was collected by GM's OnStar Smart Driver system and reported to his insurer through a report by LexisNexis. This 258-page report detailed Dahl's driving patterns, including speeding, hard braking, and sharp accelerations, leading to the premium hike. The use of telematics trackers by insurance companies underscores a growing trend of leveraging personal driving data, raising concerns about privacy and the commodification of personal information in the face of economic uncertainties and the advancing digital age.
