The North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered species of large whales.  According to the World Wildlife Federation, there are approximately 500 whales and very little population growth even though seven decades of protection have been in place.  The whale is usually found along the Atlantic Coastline, primarily the United States and Canada.

Later in time, the area was going to be included in the new world map and the name of the town was misspelled from “Hobe” to “Jove”, later with modifications being named, “Jupiter.” Jupiter is the Latin translation of God.

Some of the Jupiter beaches north of Marcinski will be shut down for a ten-day period to make way for a ton of sand! Literally, 13,000 tons of sand is being trucked down from Saint Lucie County to be dispersed among the ¼ mile stretch of beach closest to A1A from north of the Reef Club to just south of Carlin Park.

The work will take place during daylight hours from 7am to 5pm. While the beaches and beach accesses will be closed for this ten-day restoration period, the sidewalks will be open.

The hamburger has been around since the 19th century.  The mouthwatering creation has evolved since its creation and has become known as an iconic American food.   It originated as a hamburger sandwich consisting of ground steak placed between two slices of bread.  It was a brave step in the culinary world since the two ingredients, steak and bread, had been served alongside one another for hundreds of years.

Historians have varied opinions on who is credited with beef and bread roll sandwich.

One of the best features of living in southern Florida is the year round warm weather. Luckily, for us Floridians we often get to walk the beach or surf the waves while the rest of the country is a snow covered, wonderland.

Thanks to a winter storm brewing off of the mid-Atlantic coast, there is an eminent threat of snow to the North East, and to just a crisp night here in Florida. South Florida will continue to be fairly warm and very sunny this week with a cool breeze in the air with temperatures still not beating the season’s record low. 

According the National Weather Service, “the low temperature so far this morning in West Palm Beach was just 44 degrees. While that’s 13 degrees below the normal low for this time of year, it doesn’t beat the 40…
