winter boating
This beautiful South Florida winter was a tad bit warmer than it usually is and motor boaters didn’t let the occasion drift on by. Not only because of the vast amount of sunshine, the great fishing, or the calming seas but because the gas prices are at a low! For boaters, the rate of engine friendly non-ethanol gas has reduced!

“According to Waterwayguide.com reports, prices for non-ethanol gas at Florida east coast marinas either stayed the same or dipped. The average drop was .35 cents per gallon from January 12-23 alone. The lowest price, $3.20 per gallon, was found at city-owned Hollywood Marina.” Boaters in South Florida are fond of those numbers! The true boaters don’t let a buck in the price of fuel influence them from a gorgeous day with friends and…

Today, Monday February 2, 2015 was the official day for the world’s most adored, seasonal forecaster, the groundhog. Groundhog Day has come and our furry friend has decided to give us six more weeks of winter. 

Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil appeared from his burrow early this morning where he saw his shadow, thus giving us an additional six weeks of winter. Last year, Phil popped up and showed his shadow again which was what some people called “the final nail in the coffin” marking one of the harshest and longest winters in U.S. history. In many parts of the U.S. the 2014 winter dragged on well into March. 

The annual Groundhog Day predictions have been in practice in American culture since 1887. Groundhog Day originated…

Jupiter Donut Factory has been a staple among Jupiter locals looking to get their donut fix for decades. Soon though, Jupiter won't be the only place that you can get all the delectable treats that Jupiter Donut Factory has to offer.

In March, Jupiter Donut Factory will be opening a second location in Royal Palm Beach. It will be located in the Village Royale Shopping Plaza on the northwest corner of Royal Palm Beach and Okeechobee Boulevard.
