sites of Tallahassee and the surrounding regions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re Tallahassee born and bred, recently moved to the Capital City, or are planning your first visit, this blog is your invitation to slow down, choose a path, and discover the spaces and stories that make Tallahassee unique and worth exploring.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started Storied Paths, LLC to share my love of Tallahassee with others through walking tours. I believe that walking tours are one of the best ways to experience a location.\u00a0 When you let yourself be immersed in a space, you understand its story better.\u00a0 Walking tours aren&#8217;t just about reaching a destination, they&#8217;re about taking the time to notice details, ask questions, and make true connections with the people and places that shape the spaces we see.\u00a0 That\u2019s why I always search out a walking tour (or many) whenever I travel.\u00a0 I believe in what I do.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve come to realize though that I can\u2019t possibly share ALL of the fun, fascinating, and sometimes strange stories about Tallahassee only through my walking tours. Tallahassee simply has so many beautiful spaces, creative features, and historical tidbits of interest that deserve to be hightlighted.\u00a0 Plus, part of what makes Tallahassee so special is its proximity to the Gulf Coast, south Georgia, and other towns and cities that make up our regional culture.\u00a0 We are, afterall, part of the Florida Panhandle, the Big Bend, North Florida, and the Red Hills regions.\u00a0 Tallahassee and its appeal does not exist in a geographical vacuum. Thus, I want this blog to serve as a way for me to share a fuller story of Tallahassee and its surroundings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also realize that not everyone is able to enjoy a walking tour.\u00a0 I\u2019m hoping this blog will make some Tallahassee spaces and stories more accessible to those folks.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tallahassee and its regions have many stories to tell.
