AAA towing is prepared to help drivers over the Independence Day weekend, all the way through Tuesday, July 4. Here’s how the “Tow To Go” program works for Florida drivers.
AAA Tow To Go provides safe transportation for impaired drivers and their vehicles. To participate, call AAA towing at (855) 2-TOW-2-GO. A tow truck will transport a possibly impaired driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10 mile radius.
It’s the 25th anniversary of the program. The AAA Tow To Go program is free and confidential. It’s available to AAA members AND non-members. On the Tow To Go program, Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA, said in a press release:
“By providing this program, AAA gives drivers no excuse for driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or impairing medications. However, we remind people to treat Tow to Go as a last resort.”
You may not schedule appointments in advance. AAA recommends a plan for a designated driver or service.
Here are the dates for this year’s program. The Independence Day Tow To Go program begins 6 p.m. on Friday, June 30. It continues through 6 a.m. Wednesday, July 5, 2023. Put this number in your phone: 855-2-TOW-2-GO (855-286-9246).

Every Floridian is familiar with sun showers, especially during the summer time. Another Florida/southern saying to describe sun showers was “the devil is beating his wife”
Pub Sub
Alright, this is one EVERY Floridian should know! We all have our favorite Pub Sub order and are always on the lookout for the chicken tender subs to go on sale at Publix.
BBGI

Probably the most common Florida slang, next to Pub Sub. We all know snowbirds are the northern folk who flock down here during winter.
Raisins are what Floridians call snowbirds who have been in the sun too long.
