Fort Myers is already home to the Red Sox and Twins for spring training bringing the Nationals here would be the third MLB team for the area

The Nationals appear to be taking tentative steps toward moving their
spring training home from Space Coast Stadium to Fort Myers, Fla.

According to this tweet from Peter Gammons of the MLB Network and
MLB.com, the Nationals have given Lee County their plans for a reconstruction
of City of Palms Park, the former spring base of the Red Sox. Boston moved into
JetBlue Park this spring, leaving their old facility empty and with an unsure
future.

The key will be whether Lee County – already home to the Red Sox and Twins for
spring training – can afford upgrades at Hammond Stadium in the Lee County
Sports Complex, the home of the Twins, and the proposed alterations the Nationals
want at City of Palms Park. If that happens, the Nationals could begin training
there in 2014.  www.univacus.com Continue reading “Fort Myers could get another Major League Baseball Team” »

The Murder Mystery Dinner Train - Your journey includes an elegant 5 course dinner, comical show & nostalgic train ride

In November 1987, Seminole Gulf Railway (SGLR) acquired 118 miles of CSX trackage between North Naples and Arcadia, as well as, between Oneco (Bradenton) and Sarasota. SGLR now hauls much of the region’s building materials, newsprint, LP gas, plastics, stone, recycled materials, steel, and other commodities. The railroad owns and manages a fleet of railcars rolling throughout North America. SGLR also helps clients with industrial development services.

In addition to providing traditional rail freight transportation, Seminole Gulf’s related companies provide other vital supply chain solutions for Southwest Florida, including regional trucking and logistical services, as well as warehousing and distribution from its 1.6 million cubic foot, frozen, refrigerated food and dry goods distribution center located in North Fort Myers.

While Seminole Gulf Railway began operating freight trains in 1987, In January 1991, the Fay Family and Seminole Gulf Railway opened The Dinner Train, followed shortly by the commencement of daytime excursion trains. Soon thereafter, the Dinner Train began its first Murder Mystery Production, “Murder on the Seminole Express” which became an instant success. Other popular trips followed, such as the Christmas Rail/Boat Trip to Punta Gorda that has become an annual event for many guests. Over the past two decades, The Murder Mystery Dinner Train has hosted over 1/2 million patrons and has premiered over 65 new murder mystery productions. The train seats up to 200 passengers in four reconditioned vintage railcars from the 1930’s to the 1950’s, “Sanibel”, “Marco”, “Gasparilla” and “Captiva”. All food is prepared fresh daily on board the train in the “Marco” kitchen, and brought to your table by our dedicated staff.
