DON’T LET STIFFNESS DECIDE WHAT YOU CAN DO

M

obility rarely disappears all at once. It changes a little at a time. Maybe you can’t reach as far, bend as easily or get up from the floor the way you once could. Tight hips, an achy back, stiff shoulders or sore muscles gradually become issues you work around instead of issues you address.

And it can start earlier than you think. By 40, old injuries, long hours sitting, repetitive movement and everyday wear can already begin limiting flexibility and range of motion.

At Get Stretch’d, assisted stretching and targeted bodywork help loosen tight muscles, improve mobility and restore more comfortable movement.

Our guided Stretch+ sessions are designed to help you maintain the flexibility and freedom you still have—and work toward regaining some of what you may have lost.

Don’t wait until stiffness starts dictating what you can and can’t do. Take care of your mobility now, so you can keep moving well for years to come.

so that there are no competing mediums and content.

“We welcome any medium and artist,” says Jeffery. “Participation is a juried process, and we have a waiting list of about 25 artists.”

Meet different artists, view their work and socialize at First Thursday Receptions.

“Every month we will have a reception to introduce an artist to people and shine a spotlight on that artist, not typically those in the gallery,” says Jeffery. “We will bring in some artists from outside Ocala, so it’s a way to see new art and have a good evening.”

First Thursday Receptions are open to the public and include wine, refreshments and bites.

Receptions are held from 5-8pm on the first Thursday of each month.

Feeling creative? Learn at hands-on workshops where one

flat fee includes all materials and instruction. Because these workshops are limited in size, it’s an organic, personal experience and you’ll take home the art you create.

To participate in workshops, sign up when visiting the gallery or online.

“Most galleries in Ocala are a gallery/teaching facility in one space; here, it’s totally separate,” says Jeffery. “The vision is to make this a campus. The main building is an art gallery, and there’s a separate Makers Cottage for workshops. Firefly court will be between the two buildings as an outdoor venue for art, entertainment and receptions.”

August 1 marked the grand opening of Arts at the Canopy, a new downtown collective and creative campus where people can be inspired and connected by art.

The founder and owner is local artist Jeffery Moore, who is nationally known for his stunning copper artwork.

Currently, the gallery showcases 22 Florida artists who work in a variety of mediums, including copper work, acrylics, watercolor, welded artwork, sculpture, jewelry, pottery and photography.

“The goal was to make it upscale but approachable,” says Jeffery. “Anyone can walk in and feel comfortable. There’s room to step back and look at the art.”

This season opens with RENT (September 3-20), the musical that has been a pop-culture phenomenon since it exploded onto the scene in 1996.

omedy, mystery, romance and musicality await as the 20262027 season opens at Ocala Civic Theatre, celebrating 76 years of bringing stellar live entertainment to our community.

Whether you buy season tickets or just attend one show, you’re in for a treat.

“We try to offer a well-rounded blend of comedy and drama, light-hearted and darker or more serious themes, family fun and edgier offerings, old favorites and exciting, new-to-us productions,” says Melody Murphy, director of marketing and public relations.

Every Mainstage season, there are always three plays and three musicals. Shows are chosen by a play selection committee of volunteers and staff who collaborate

is relatable and humorous to all generations, no matter where you fall on the relationship spectrum.

The 39 Steps (March 11-28) is clever, creative and entertaining.

Older attendees will appreciate the classic Hitchcock connection, but mystery and comedy are timeless.

This season includes two visually spectacular shows that both kids and adults will thoroughly enjoy. A Christmas Carol (December 9-20) is a beloved

holiday tradition for a reason, and Disney’s The Little Mermaid (April 29-May 16) closes the season with a perfect family-friendly musical.

“They’re the kind of magical events that kids will remember for years,” says Melody. “When kids grow up coming to the theatre, these become memories they cherish, and the kids will grow up to bring their own children here one day. It’s really special when we see generations of families becoming part of The Civic. The impact of that is what makes our 76-year history so rich and enduring.”

It’s worth noting that the performers are local, so if you’ve ever imagined yourself on stage, consider trying out. There are open auditions for every show, and no

experience is necessary. Just get on The Civic’s email list and follow them on social media to receive audition notices and reminders.

A recent grant from the National Endowment for the Arts affirms what The Civic has been doing for over 75 years.

“This support helps us continue producing high-quality theatre, expand opportunities for engagement and bring our community together through the arts,” says Alexis Medina, OCT development coordinator.

hether you’ve lived here for decades or just moved to Ocala recently, you’ll learn something new on the Downtown Ocala Historic Walking Tour.

This isn’t a structured outing with a guide and oft-repeated descriptions. This self-led tour, with details courtesy of Ocala Main Street, allows you to explore at your own pace and discover the rich history of the downtown area.

That downtown square you’re walking around in 2026 was originally laid out in the 1840s. Back then, all the horsepower around town had four legs, which explains why one of the original buildings on South Magnolia Avenue once housed a harness shop.

“The tour is for anyone and

everyone—not geared just to visitors or locals. There are 27 stops, but you can map your own route,” says Sara Lambert, executive director of Ocala Main Street.

“Historic preservation is a big part of our program,” says Sara.

“This is a nice way to get people out and about and experience the city in a more holistic way.

If you want to do the whole 27 stops, go to lunch and shop some along the way.”

The project was launched by Ocala Main Street and is sponsored in part by the Department of State, Division of Historical Resources and the state of Florida.

To make it very do-able, Ocala Main Street has created a helpful digital tour map. That phone in your hand becomes the tour guide,

but you’re in control of time and what to explore.

Click on any stop to read a brief description, see old photos and learn a few fascinating tidbits about that particular historic place.

For example, you’ll learn why Ocala became the “Brick City” after a catastrophic event that occurred on Thanksgiving Day in 1883.

Stop and appreciate the glamour of the Marion Theatre, which was built in 1941 and had the distinction of being the county’s first air-conditioned building. You’d have paid only 39 cents for an evening show back when it opened.

Take a close look at the Ocala

A Premier Agent’s Perspective R

eal estate has never been simply about property to me. It is about people, pivotal decisions and the lives that unfold after the closing.

A home can represent a new beginning, a family legacy, a long-awaited move or the realization of a dream. That is why the person guiding the transaction matters.

I came to Ocala from Massachusetts in 2006 with my husband, Michael, while expecting our first child. My grandparents had chosen this area for retirement, and after my parents relocated here, we soon discovered why. Ocala offered room to grow, natural beauty, a genuine sense of community and a quality of life that felt increasingly rare. Our daughter followed a few years later, and somewhere along the way, this community became far more than where we lived. It became home. I often say that Ocala chose me.

For more than 14 years, I have had the privilege of helping people make their own life-changing decisions here. Today, as a broker associate with Golden Ocala Real Estate and an exclusive agent for World Equestrian Center—Ocala, I advise buyers and sellers throughout Ocala and the surrounding region.

My work has included luxury residences, equestrian estates, farms, historic homes, waterfront properties, golf communities, land and family homes at every price point. That range is not a lack of specialization. It reflects a deep understanding of the many distinct markets within our community.

a multigenerational property for the market.

Each requires local knowledge, thoughtful positioning and a strategy built around the individual. Today’s market makes that personalized strategy especially important. Buyers have more choices and are taking time to compare value, condition and location. Sellers

Reflections On The Market

Ocala is not one real estate market.

The needs of a farm buyer near the World Equestrian Center are different from those of the buyer craving waterfront living, a couple eager for retirement amenities, a young family seeking a neighborhood close to schools, a physician relocating for a new opportunity or a seller preparing

Sometimes that means recommending improvements. Sometimes it means adjusting expectations. Always, it means telling the truth with care.

Principle Driven

can still achieve excellent results, but ambitious pricing and average presentation are being challenged.

Homes that are prepared beautifully, positioned correctly and marketed to the right audience continue to stand apart. Those who miss the market at the beginning may face longer selling times and repeated price adjustments.

For buyers, greater selection can create meaningful opportunity, but opportunity should not be confused with simplicity. Insurance, financing, inspections, land use, property condition and long-term value all deserve careful consideration. In our luxury and equestrian markets, every property carries its own complexities, from barns, arenas and fencing to flood zones, expansion, easements and future development. Good representation is not about opening a door; it is about seeing what others may overlook and protecting the client’s larger objective.

For sellers, the first conversation must be honest. The market does not respond to what we hope a property is worth; it responds to how buyers perceive its value among the available alternatives. My role is to bring clarity to that conversation, develop a compelling presentation and create the strongest possible path forward.

measured through influence and service.

To me, servant leadership means listening before advising, putting another person’s needs ahead of the transaction and using experience to give people confidence when the path feels uncertain.

It is also the foundation of one of my guiding beliefs: luxury is a level of service, not a price point.

Whether I am advising on a first home or a multigenerational equestrian estate, every client deserves preparation, communication, discretion and advocacy. Premier service should never depend on the number attached to a property.

Ocala will continue to grow, and our market will continue to evolve. Yet the principles behind my work remain constant: Serve people well, genuinely know the market, communicate honestly and never lose sight of the person behind the property.

That is my perspective on real estate and the standard I remain committed to bringing to every client, every home and every chapter ahead.

New Ocala Main Street Executive Director Sara Lambert shares her vision for a downtown that’s growing, changing and distinctly Ocala.

D

owntown Ocala is in the midst of change.

New businesses are opening, major developments are taking shape and long-awaited projects are beginning to transform areas beyond the familiar downtown square. At the same time, some well-loved businesses have closed or relocated, leaving residents wondering what comes next and what downtown will look like as Ocala continues to grow.

For Sara Lambert, the timing makes her new role as executive director of Ocala Main Street both exciting and important.

Sara stepped into the position at the beginning of June, bringing with her experience in local government, communications and nonprofit leadership—and a belief that downtown’s next chapter can build on what already makes it distinctly Ocala.

“I’m originally from Ponte Vedra in Northeast Florida,” says Sara. “My husband, who is an Ocala native, and I moved here in 2018. I worked for Marion County in a communications role for several years before accepting my position with Ocala Main Street in June of this year.”

Her nonprofit experience includes serving as president of both the Junior League of Ocala and Lotus Marion, as well as serving on the Marion County Literacy Council board. Those

24

352PREVIEW.COM

By Melissa Peterson experiences helped shape the direction she wanted her career to take.

“Over the past five or so years, I developed a desire to transition into working fulltime for a nonprofit, whether it be through advocacy or a directorship, so when this position became available, I jumped at the opportunity to be considered,” she says. “I’m hoping to build upon the relationships I developed in local government and nonprofit work to continue raising the value of Ocala Main Street.”

More Than Main Street

For those who know the name Ocala Main Street but aren’t exactly sure what the organization does, its reach is broader than organizing events or promoting downtown businesses.

Ocala Main Street is a nonprofit organization that is part of Main Street America and managed at the state level by Florida Main Street.

Ocala was officially designated as one of Florida’s first five Main Street communities in 1985.

“Our mission is to create a thriving, unique and livable downtown that enriches the community, embraces history, celebrates the arts and promotes quality events to instill a sense of place in our community,” Sara explains. “Our purpose is simple: to stand as our community’s program for improving and maintaining the

heart of our community.”

And that “heart” extends beyond the blocks immediately surrounding the downtown square. The Ocala Main Street district encompasses 99 blocks, stretching through downtown, midtown and Tuscawilla all the way to the Ocala Skate Park near the Reilly Arts Center.

Like other Main Street organizations across the country, Ocala Main Street follows Main Street America’s FourPoint Approach to Downtown Revitalization, which focuses on economic vitality, promotion, design and organization working together to create sustainable downtown revitalization.

Funding varies from one Main Street organization to another.

Ocala Main Street receives a combination of municipal funding, grants and donor support, with donor dollars providing the bulk of its project and operational funding.

The City of Ocala also provides annual funding, while Marion County recently awarded funding to help launch Ocala Main Street’s America 250 Week of Celebration programming series.

That relationship building is an area Sara hopes to continue expanding, including developing a closer connection with county staff.

Presently, Ocala Main Street’s two main initiatives focus on connectivity and community and

Our downtown reflects Ocala.

From the brick buildings reinforcing the Brick City moniker to the Horse Fever statues cementing our claim as the county seat of the Horse Capital of the World to everything in between reminding citizens and sharing with visitors that Ocala is a place that embraces history, celebrates the arts and longs to instill a sense of place in our community.

Building On Momentum

Although Sara is looking ahead, she is quick to give credit for the groundwork already laid by her predecessor, former Executive Director Jessica Fieldhouse, and the Ocala Main Street board.

“I’ve only been the executive director for two months, so I can’t take any credit for the accomplishments Jessica Fieldhouse and the board made happen before June 1,” Sara says.

“What I can say, though, is the great work this organization did prior to my assumption into this position has made aspects of this job incredibly easy, from the advocacy work they did to get golf carts downtown to the opening of Heart of the Park in Tuscawilla.”

Heart of the Park is one example of how the organization’s focus has expanded beyond the traditional downtown core. Located in the former American Legion/Duplicate Bridge Club building in Tuscawilla Park, the space now serves as Ocala Main Street’s headquarters.

The building opened last year, although plans for the property aren’t complete. A deck and graband-go store are still to come, with Ocala Main Street hoping to raise the funds needed to continue work on the building. Heart of the Park has already hosted events and programming, including the America 250 Week of Celebration, and is available to rent for private events.

It is one piece of a larger effort to activate midtown and Tuscawilla.

“When we launched our Reimagine Midtown program, 26

352PREVIEW.COM

Midtown Station, Heart of the Park and The Forge were all still in development,” Sara says. “These three catalytic sites are now open and creating momentum for the growth of midtown. With the historic Hotel Marion not too far behind them, midtown should continue to see more interest from an investment standpoint.”

The recent opening of The Forge has been particularly anticipated, bringing new activity to midtown.

Downtown has also welcomed Häagen-Dazs, and another restaurant, First Avenue Bar & Bistro is set to open in the former La Cuisine building this fall.

What’s Coming Next

Some of the biggest changes to the downtown landscape are still ahead.

Two hotels slated to open next year will bring additional rooms, restaurants and gathering spaces to the district.

The AC Marriott is expected to include 176 rooms along with multiple food and beverage concepts, including Barker’s Speakeasy, Bellissimo’s Italian restaurant, a rooftop bar overlooking Broadway Street and the downtown square, and the AC Lounge and Bar. The historic Hotel Marion will find new life as a 58-room boutique hotel within Hilton’s Tapestry Collection.

Plans call for rooms featuring local art and sculptures, fine dining, a coffee shop/cocktail bar and a lounge overlooking downtown.

Parking—a frequent concern as downtown attracts more development, businesses and visitors—is also getting a significant boost. A new garage will contain 800 total spaces. Of those, 225 will be designated for the AC Marriott, 23 for property owner agreements and 556 will be open to the public. A memorial marker will recognize that the garage stands on the former site of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church.

Together, the projects represent continued investment in a downtown that has experienced significant growth. But with growth comes the need to make sure downtown retains the variety that keeps people coming back.

place-based and livability. The first looks at ways to better connect the district’s 99 blocks with public spaces, parks and key destinations, while the second focuses on economic vitality and creating a livable downtown that celebrates art, historic preservation and Ocala’s unique assets.

Those priorities, however, could soon evolve. Ocala Main Street will begin strategic planning in September to establish goals for the next three to five years.

For Sara, one challenge stands out.

“Right now, the biggest stress point is our lack of retail in the downtown core,” she says. “At the August 4 council meeting, the CEP shared that they are working on retail recruitment for downtown, and that was good to hear. We’ve seen some well-loved establishments close or relocate over the past year, and retail is a big draw for foot traffic.”

The concern residents express when a favorite downtown business closes is also evidence of something positive: People are invested in what happens here.

“The community’s reaction to this is demonstrative of how much they care about downtown Ocala and how they want it to stay varied and vibrant,” Sara says.

There is also a strong economic argument for continued investment. Sara points to the 2024 Urban3 analysis for the City of Ocala, which found that the four highest-value properties in the city are located downtown.

“Investment in downtown yields the greatest return for public dollars, private capital and community vitality,” she says.

Finding A Sense Of Place

Economic vitality may be one measure of a successful downtown, but numbers alone don’t create a place where people want to spend time.

That is where art, history, public spaces and events come in.

Sara praises the City of Ocala’s Cultural Arts and Recreation and Parks programs for the community events they produce and hopes Ocala Main Street can partner with them more in the future. She is also a fan of the city’s Art in Public Spaces program and the murals found throughout the Main Street district.

“The murals that decorate the entire district are so amazing, and it’s such an incredible way to make use of underutilized space,” she says.

Ocala Main Street has also developed a self-guided Historic Walking Tour in partnership with the state of Florida’s Department of Historical Resources, which you can actually read more about in this issue, allowing residents and visitors to explore downtown history at their own pace.

Events provide another way for people to connect with downtown— and Sara has already developed a few favorites.

“I have two favorite events, one for each half of the year. The first being the Ocala Arts Festival

by Fine Arts for Ocala. I think it’s incredible to watch the community come together to support the arts in such a grand manner,” she says.

“The second is the Brick City Beer and Wine Fest. Any event that is working toward supporting our local nonprofits is going to be a standout in my book. Honorable mention goes to Weiner Wars because how

could it not.”

Her connection to downtown, though, started before she ever imagined leading its Main Street organization.

“One of my first visits to Ocala was during the Christmas season, and I fell in love with the downtown square covered in Christmas lights,” Sara recalls. “I was spoiled growing up near St. Augustine and getting to experience their holiday season and never thought something could replace that for me, but boy, was I wrong.”

Today, downtown is part of the Lambert family’s regular routine.

“The Lambert household has a few go-tos for downtown dining: District Bar and Kitchen, Big Hammock and Mark’s Prime,” she says.

District is an almost weekly stop, while lunch at Big Hammock for Weiner Wednesday was Sara’s requested going-away celebration when she left her county position.

Mark’s Prime is the family’s choice for birthdays, anniversaries or a spontaneous special night out.

Those personal connections— to a restaurant, a festival, a holiday tradition or even a favorite mural—are part of what turns a collection of businesses and buildings into a community.

And creating that sense of place is at the heart of what Ocala Main Street hopes to accomplish.

Writing The Next Chapter

Sara is only a few months into her new position, and she isn’t arriving with a predetermined list of everything that needs to change.

Strategic planning this fall will help determine where the organization focuses its energy over the next several years.

What she does bring is experience working within local government and nonprofits, established relationships in the community and an enthusiasm for the place she is now charged with helping strengthen.

There are challenges ahead.

Downtown needs more retail.

Ocala Main Street still has projects 28

352PREVIEW.COM

to complete and money to raise.

Continued growth will require thoughtful connections between downtown, midtown and Tuscawilla while balancing new development with the history and character that make the area recognizable as Ocala.

But there is also plenty of momentum.

New restaurants and businesses are arriving. The Forge, Midtown Station and Heart of the Park are bringing activity north of the traditional downtown core. Two hotels are on the way. New public parking will support continued growth. Arts, events and historic preservation are giving residents reasons to experience downtown beyond dining or shopping.

And perhaps most importantly, people care deeply about what happens next.

For Sara, downtown’s value lies not only in where it is going but in the way it reflects the community around it.

“Our downtown reflects Ocala.

From the brick buildings reinforcing the Brick City moniker to the Horse Fever statues cementing our claim as the county seat of the Horse Capital of the World to everything in between reminding citizens and sharing with visitors that Ocala is a place that embraces history, celebrates the arts and longs to instill a sense of place in our community,” she says.

Growth doesn’t have to mean losing that identity. Instead, Sara sees this moment as an opportunity to decide what Ocala wants its downtown to become—and what it will leave behind.

“We are growing, and quite rapidly at that, but what that says to me is we’re still writing our story, and we can choose how we want that narrative to be read to future generations,” she says. “I believe in this city and I’m going to do my best to make it even stronger and more vibrant than the way I found it.”
