It opened without the city's permission on Monday, but after a brief inspection, Code Administrator Don Ilendrickson said owner Felix Lanes had made enough improvements to stay in business. Ilendrickson said a thorough inspection would be made later this week. Lanes, 88, and his fish company are considered something special here. The Tallahassee native began working at the fish house in 1942 when the now broken-down shacks on Avenue were part of a bustling fishing village and boat after boat groaned under the weight of tons of mackerel. Lanes took over the company in 1965.

Any other business might have been slapped with fines of up to $500 a day. But Ilendrickson said Lanes misunderstood city procedure in opening prematurely. Besides, the whole place is safer, Ilendrickson said, with shoppers going in and out with bags of yellowtail snapper. Police say the property surrounding the old waterfront fish house has been a haven for drug users, dealers and prostitutes for years. Hendrickson ordered the company closed in October as part of a "raid" intended to scare them away, The business, he said in an Oct.

19 letter, "has been declared a dangerous nuisance" because of thefts and burglaries committed by people staying on the property. Since the October raid, Hendrickson said, the property has been mostly free of vagrants, but crime watch activists say they continue to see prostitutes there. Fishermen and boaters who use the docks near the fish company described Lanes as a tragic figure, trying to eke out a living while those around him take advantage. "It's been like a family heritage around here," said fisherman Chuck Deal, 41. "The (drug) traffic messed it up for people that have made their living here all their lives." As the first customers returned Tuesday, Lanes caressed the open drawer of an old cash register, remembering better times: "I went out slowly, slowly.
