Rey Ranghel was looking for certain things when it came to opening up his new restaurant the hot caboose.
Sot Rey Ranghel, business owner
The people, the customers, the small town feel.
He found that at this 86 year old building in downtown Bonita springs.
He's been serving food here for 8 weeks.
Sot Rey
" it's a perfect location for me, and based on business it's proven to be that."
well. Almost perfect.
Sot Rey
Downtown right now it needs some work.
Bonita city council agrees,
And today had some questions about revitalization.
Sot mayor Ben Nelson
"where we're at in the process and what are some of the things that we could do in the future."
The plan ranges from small fixes like storm drains, sidewalks and banners that investor todd michaels says will have a huge impact.
Sot Todd michaels, business owner
" they have to start somewhere, baby steps, little things here, segments."
To bigger projects- like expanding the riverwalk, putting in a library and attracting new construction.
But these will take more money than the city has, so they need a funding mechanism.
Their choices vary from creating a community redevelopment agency to an enterprise zone.
Sot Todd
Hopefully the property owners will take an initiative."
with all the options, property owners would pay user fees.
That- in addition to grants and impact fee can fund redevelopment,
instead of the city's general fund.
Sot mayor
I know a lot of people dont believe in downtown 41 and the redevelopment but it is going to happen and its happening right now."
news this new business owner is happy to hear.
Sot Rey
It's a huge benefit for me, it's a huge benefit for the business bc it will encourage more people to come by and it will look better."

there's nobody like really like us, like on the beach or even in Florida really
THEY ATTRACT REPEAT VISITORS, BUT EMPLOYEES WANT TO CAPTURE NEW CUSTOMERS.
put our name out there any way we can, give people to go menus, get our name out there, the chamber of commerce really helps
AND MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE HELP.
we need to be back on the beach with visitor information
TOURISTS SKIP THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WELCOME CENTER ON SAN CARLOS BOULEVARD--
SO PRESIDENT BUD NOCERA WANTS TO BUY AND FILL 2 TRAILERS WITH ALL THE MENUS, MAPS AND INFORMATION NEEDED TO KEEP VISITORS HAPPY.
tourists that stay longer, that spend more money, that will come back to visit time and time again
NOCERA SAYS THEY'LL NEED TO RAISE 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO PURCHASE THE 16-FOOT BAMBI STYLE AIRSTREAM CAMPERS.
the trailer would give the chamber the chance to do some mobile marketing they could take them around the state to attract visitors to fort myers beach.
usually you end up walking up and down the street looking at the menus and then decide where you want to go so it's actually a quite good idea
THE CHAMBER HOPES ONCE THEY RAISE ENOUGH MONEY THEY CAN PLACE TRAILERS AT SANTINI PLAZA AND TIMES SQUARE.

AD LIB WEATHER TEASE
Return to index of stories...
THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
A few hit or miss storms will continue to develop through the late afternoon hours, but with the onshore breeze expect most of these to push deeper inland toward the Lake Okeechobee area. Once the sun sets and we lose the daytime heating, most of Southwest Florida will be rain free.
Tonight, clearing skies are in the forecast and it will be warm and muggy as overnight lows settle into the middle and upper 70s by morning.
Moisture associated with a weak wave has lifted north, and will allow for a drier and more stable airmass to move in overhead. This will keep the sunshine in full force for Wednesday with a few fair weather cumulus clouds developing during the afternoon. An isolated shower can't be ruled out during the peak heating of the day, otherwise the vast majority of us will stay dry.
Hotter temperatures are also on the way with daytime highs in the middle 90s, with slightly cooler readings at the coast and beach locations. Combine this with the humidity and the heat index or "feels like" temperature will be in the low 100s.
A drier and hotter than normal pattern looks to stay in place as we round out the work week and into the weekend. This means rain prospects will stay on the lower end with temperatures in the mid 90s.

*THIS ONE CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION.
CHOICE WORDS FOR FLORIDA'S GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT.
BUT THIS ISN'T YOUR TYPICAL MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE STILL ANGRY THEIR CANDIDATE DIDN'T WIN.

It sounds like that's from somebody tired of that way politics are treating us.
THAT TICKED OFF PERSON IS DR. FRANK CASDIA.
"I was shocked to find out that not very many people actually knew what happened."
Dr. Casdia: "What's hurting? Patient: "My neck and lower back."
CASDIA WORKS OUT ACHES AND PAINS AS THE OWNER OF MIDPOINT CHIROPRACTIC.
Okay let's get you on your right side.
MANY PATIENTS COME TO HIM AFTER CAR CRASHES. NEW RULES THOUGH LIMIT HOW MUCH P-I-P. PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION. WILL COVER. NOW 25-HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR NON-EMERGENCY INJURIES. IT USED TO BE 10-THOUSAND.
"It's not just as a doctor, as a FL resident and owner of a car, I'm upset that I only have $2,500 to spend on treatment unless it's an emergency medical condition."
Staged accidents are a *billion dollar problem for Florida drivers. This video shows drivers who *intentionally slam into each other. File a report. then submit bogus medical claims.
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR SCOTT IN MAY. THE NEW LAW REQUIRES INSURANCE COMPANIES TO REDUCE PIP PREMIUMS BY 25-PERCENT.
"When I read about how these frauds occur I'm shocked."
SHOCKED IS HOW I FELT WHEN DOCTOR CASDIA TOLD ME HE ONCE SUPPORTED SCOTT.
:22:36:56
"Absolutely. Yes I did." 58
AND THEN CAME THIS.
"I've had some political consequences. I've had some patients who are die-hard Republicans. Even they were unaware of how this affected them."
CASDIA SAYS THE SIGN'S COMING DOWN SOON EVEN THOUGH NO ONE'S ASKED HIM TO TAKE IT DOWN.
"Hopefully as people see these changes occur on their policies next year. They'll become more involved."
