Something magical happens when a state capital and a state university
end up in the same place. Think Ann Arbor, Michigan, or Austin, Texas.
Our own Tallahassee is one of those places that developed into a great
city because it draws students to the area, many of whom then stay
longer to pursue their dreams. Having the government seat there adds its
own special spice to the mix, making things jell in a most spectacular way.
The Grove is the former home of the late
Florida Governor LeRoy Collins.
