Spending your day at a Florida flea market is arguably a wonderful way to pass the time. Not only are you getting hours' worth of cheap entertainment, but you may just find an inexpensive bargain or two.

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.

It's no secret that in 2023, Florida lost 41 Bed, Bath, and Beyond stores when the retailer filed for bankruptcy and shuttered stores. Often, the closing Bed, Bath and Beyond stores were anchor stores, which meant their absence left a huge void in some of Florida's shopping centers.

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.

Although Florida is arguably a wonderful place to get fresh catch seafood, some New Englanders will tell you that Florida falls short in terms of Lobster products, particularly lobster rolls.

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.

If you are a Floridian of a certain age, you might remember when shopping at a mall was seen as a fun way to spend a weekend. Perhaps your parents would drop you off to get a snack at Orange Julius. Or maybe you'd get some cash and were told to buy yourself some school clothes.

As more people shop online, there is a greater need for delivery services. As a result, it is easy to think that shipping and delivery companies are safe from closure or job loss.

Florida hasn't been immune to distribution centers closing within the last several months. In the last six months, I've written about a Walgreens distribution center closing in Florida as well as Essendant Co.
