"Closed" signs are sign of the times, as some Bloomingdale-area business owners have discovered.
A popular Bloomingdale hamburger joint has permanently closed its doors, another sign that the economy has yet to turn around. Owners of Big Belly Burgers at 109 W. Bloomingdale Ave., Brandon, suddenly closed the restaurant, leaving faithful patrons wondering what went wrong. Big Belly Burgers of Brandon was part of a franchise that included restaurants in St. Augustine and Bartow. It was most famous for its Big Belly Burger Challenge: Patrons have 20 minutes to eat a one-pound, fully topped burger and one pound of french fries. Should they succeed, their photo is taken and put up in the restaurant and they receive a T-shirt. The franchise has shut down its website, and no one was available for comment. However, in this dour economy, it's …

"We didn't have a breast cancer walk in Brandon so we decided to start one." Compared to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure 3-Day Walk, which requires participants to walk 60 miles over three days, the Plaza Bella breast cancer walk is …
