Your Punta Gorda Weekend -- the Only Ice Here is in our Margaritas

Sure it's a little bit chilly (if you want to call 60s chilly) and rainy right now, but did you see Atlanta this week ... burrr!  And it will warm up by Saturday for some real opportunities to maybe enjoy the new outdoor deck at Hurricane Charley's.  No word yet, but rumored to be opening very, very soon.  Or if that's not ready yet, hey there's the Tiki Bar, Harpoon's, Laishley Crab House, the Elks all on beautiful Charlotte Harbor.

Friday night, Jim Morris will be warming things up bringing his tropical floating opera to  the Village, or you can cozy up to some jazz at the Orange House or Pressellers.  Here's a fuller list of  options for nighttime entertainment this weekend:
