Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Many Floridians enjoy all-you-can-eat buffets as they offer plenty of food variety for one fixed price. Unfortunately, one popular option in this niche - Plant City Homestyle Buffet - was closed for three days after a state inspection. Unfortunately, this isn't its first closure.

Many people have lost faith in the news and question truth from all comers. The idea of a universal truth, outside of the sky being blue and that one plus one equals two, seems to be more and more elusive. One thing that everyone can agree on, however, is that cats are the world's greatest pets. Dogs are fine, sure, but they aren't cats. Fish are kind of fun to look at...for like five minutes. Cats though? No fact check needed. They're the best.

For decades, Davenport Park in St. Augustine was known to many as Carousel Park for the ride owned and operated by Jim Soules. When he died in 2019, the carousel was taken apart and moved to Soules’ longtime home of Port Charlotte.

Brown on Cleveland

Cleveland, OH. An Ohio man who killed his sister, her husband, and unborn niece was sentenced today in the Courtroom of Cuyahoga County Judge Rick Bell. Jason David Iverson was found guilty of three counts of aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault. As family members on both sides of the aisle awaited sentencing, the question was "why." What happened on September 4, 2023, caused so much turmoil that it cost the lives of three innocent people.

Florida has plenty of historic restaurants that are fun to visit. Examples are the No Name Pub in Big Pine Key, Joe's Stone Crab in Miami, and The Seminole Inn in Indiantown. However, neither is fast food. And Love Food recently named Florida's "most historic" fast food restaurant. It's not a chain, but it does have an interesting story.

If you happen upon great weather and a weekend with nothing to do, spending time at one of Florida's flea markets can be a wonderful way to spend a day. Not only do you get to hunt for treasures, you'll probably get to sample some fantastic food and you might even save some money. Plus, some of Florida's flea markets offer free entertainment to visitors.

When homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it usually means there will be an intended purpose to keep the structure alive whether it’s through historic restoration, repurposing, or general maintenance. Sometimes, too, these places get demolished.

After writing about Florida's restaurants for some time, I've come to believe that, although Floridians want excellent food for a reasonable price, they're not exactly picky about where that food comes from.

Grabbing a donut, muffin, bagel, or coffee on your way to or from work can be a nice way to give yourself a sweet treat or pick me up without spending much money. Unfortunately, a Florida restaurant in this genre was recently closed down. I frequently write about restaurant closures, and I can honestly say that I have never seen a violation like the one that caused the closure.

“We have no idea where we are going, when we are going or if we will have housing or need to return to the buses [at the landing zone]”. [ORIGINAL STORY] Migrants in the Standard Club shelter on S. Plymouth are living hour to hour as the information they are giving changes. Children are told to keep their toys in their bags and to take only one out to play with, something easy to pack quickly if needed. They are all on edge as the city decides what to do with their group, having received information and instructions that seems to be ever-changing and to provide no details about what’s to happen to them.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced a little dog named Howie who they describe as the “cutest pup on four paws" clarifying that “okay they might all be cute, but Howie is extra special." Despite being returned to the shelter twice, the shelter staff attest that Howie brings an extra special charm to anyone he meets.

Kentucky coach Mark Pope never played high school basketball in the Bluegrass State. If you didn’t know any better, you would think he has bled Blue all of his life. His three seasons at Kentucky from 1994-96, including a year he had to sit out because of NCAA transfer rules in place at the time, was all it took for Pope to understand what it means to wear the Blue-and-White jersey.
