We\u2019re fighting off mosquitos as soon as we step outside.<br>This is the season when Tallahassee slows down and sharpens its focus. The legislative bustle gives way to quieter downtown streets. College students retreat home or shift into summer classes, and the city exhales into a different rhythm.
