TWO NEW STORES IN CHASEWOOD PLAZA ON INDIANTOWN ROAD

Two new, unnamed stores will replace the former Sandy’s Hallmark Shop and the Bealls Outlet store located in the Publix anchored shopping center in Chasewood Plaza located at 6230 – 6410 West Indiantown Road, Jupiter.  Construction of the new stores is expected to start later this summer.

Miami Heat Just One Win Away From Third Championship in Franchise History

When the fourth quarter started last night the Miami Heat found themselves in a spot that they were seldom in during the regular season but had come all too familiar with in the post season: down and pressing.

Down 3-2 in the series and entering the fourth quarter down ten points, Lebron James had 12 minutes left to make sure the San Antonio Spurs did not celebrate on the floor of the American Airlines Arena.  Dwayne Wade had 12 minutes left to stage a comeback and force a game seven. And, Chris Bosh had 12 minutes left to save their season.
 
They had battled all year to defend their trophy. 82 games in the regular season, another 15 games in the postseason, and thanks to some late game heroics at the end of regulation and overtime they will have one…
