This month’s Voices once again features further reporting by Sheriff Marceno on the community’s deep concern about the progress of his Office’s efforts to deal with bad actors on our roadways. The men and women of the Sheriff’s Office are making headway. Several arrests, violations and vehicle impounding continue. I hope you find the Sheriff’s article interesting.
THE CUBAN AMERICAN WAY RESTAURANT
As Lehigh continues to grow many in our area comment on the lack of restaurants in our area. But decisions for a new restaurant are deep financial commitments for those involved. Also, those operators that own dining facilities ride the storms of these times. However, there are great developments. If you have a chance stop by the Cuban American Way, located at 1254 Business Way, Lehigh Acres. It is the location of the former Knights of Columbus Building. The menu is extensive with both Cuban and Americana cuisine. www.havananightsdeluxe.com 239-230-8142/239-230-8998. Open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner.
