Keystone Heights residents alarmed by advertised sex party at Airbnb rental

A Keystone Heights home on Pointview Road was used for a ticketed party advertised as a sex party last Saturday, drawing complaints from neighbors in what is described as a quiet residential area. The property owner said he was unaware of the event’s nature, and while an RSVP list showed over 400 expected attendees, residents estimated fewer than 100 people actually showed up. A nearby resident brought the issue before the Keystone Heights City Council on Monday, raising concerns about traffic and parking.

Medical supply shortage delays breast cancer biopsies for Gainesville patients

A nationwide shortage of specialized biopsy supplies, linked to a federal recall, is causing significant delays for Gainesville-area breast cancer patients awaiting diagnostic procedures. HCA Florida North Florida Hospital has confirmed the temporary shortage, which is affecting access to stereotactic biopsies used to evaluate suspicious mammogram findings. At least one local woman reported being unable to schedule her recommended procedure anywhere in Gainesville as a result.
