Visiting a flea market is a fun way to spend a weekend or any old regular day in Florida. Depending on whether you love the thrill of the hunt, it can be exciting to hunt for treasures. And it feels good in today's economy to find items on the cheap while supporting small businesses.

Diners can be a lovely place to enjoy a meal. Not only do you get to eat comfort food, but it's served up with a retro vibe, and it's usually inexpensive. Unfortunately, a diner in this genre was shut down for the second time via state inspection, but it is reopened.

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.

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.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

You’ll never guess which state just took action to consider funding sober homeless housing: None other the nation’s liberal left coast. If that’s not surprising enough, it’s a Democrat who is sponsoring the bill. California Assembly member Matt Haney of San Francisco wants drug-free housing projects to be able to compete for state money. Right now, those receiving funds must adhere to a “Housing First” philosophy and not turn anyone away for not being sober.

Opinion: Sober homeless housing gains momentum in Denver as California considers it, too
