Four Restaurant owners in Abacoa are hosting a month-long promotion called Dine The Drive during the month of September.

Restaurants included are Brick and Barrel, Das Beer Garden, Jumby Bay Island Grill, and Stadium Grill.

“We decided we’d run a menu like we’ve done during Flavor Palm Beach. We invited other restaurants on our street to join us,” said local chef and Brick and Barrel owner David Schroeder, who enlisted all the restaurants on Town Center Drive for the promotion.

Brick and Barrel is offering a $40 menu that includes some of the pub’s most popular bites, like the Scotch egg and duck croquette appetizers, a pub steak entree and a dessert or sweet cocktail. (1153 Town Center Dr., 561-623-0916)

This year marks the 27th year that The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse will celebrate National Public Lands Day. 

Usually, the event is only one day, but this year they are celebrating the holiday all month long by asking visitors to help pick up and remove trash from the 120-acre property. They are encouraging people to tag them in pictures with their trash on social media, and on September 26th from 8 am to 10 am, officials will be giving out free t-shirts in the north parking lot to those who show posted photos.

Officials can also reward participants with two hours of community service.

“We are encouraging social-distanced volunteering throughout the month of September to celebrate National Public Lands Day; “2020 marks the 27th year for the ONA to…

According to U.S. News, Florida residents can breathe easy knowing they live in the state with the best natural environment in the nation, placing number one overall for drinking water quality, urban air quality, and low pollution health risk.

The World Health Organization states that air pollution is a major environmental health risk, and by living in areas with high air quality, people can reduce the burden of disease from stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, chronic and acute respiratory diseases, and even dementia.

While the sunshine state may be best known for gorgeous beaches, oranges, and Hawaiian-shirted retirees, Florida also leads the country with lowest air and water pollutants. With the sea breeze sweeping over mostly flat terrain in a…

Let’s face it – working from home is the new normal for a lot of people right now.

There are a few things to consider when purchasing a grill for your backyard. First, do you prefer gas, charcoal, or wood burning?

Gas grills are more efficient, cleaner, and easier to use than charcoal grills. Also, if you can hook up to a hard line of natural gas, there’s no need to ever replace propane tanks. However, some people enjoy the smoky flavor that comes with a wood-burning grill.

Second, grill size depends on how much food you’ll be cooking at once. If the answer is “a lot”, then you need a model with at least 1,000 square inches of total cooking area. If you’re only looking for something to cook a few hot dogs here and there, then a smaller two-burner grill should do the trick.

Third, which accessories will you actually use? Between…

It’s not a surprise that color is a huge component of how we experience our environment, but are you taking that into account when you choose colors for your home? You may love a white room, but did you know you may be inadvertently making a room less cozy and too sterile with too much white? Or that green is the perfect choice for an entryway because it eases the transition from the outdoors?

Modern color psychology dates back to its origins in the early 19th century with a scholarly book known as Theory of Colors. Though there is some debate regarding the implications of certain shades, researchers, interior designers and marketing professionals seem to agree on these basic tenants:

Red: Symbolizes power and passion. It can be used to warm up…

A beach house can be pure pleasure to own and live in, and it is a life-long dream for most Floridians or transplants (people who move to Florida from other states or countries).  They make great second homes and investment properties for the family to enjoy or rent out weekly during high season.

Does your beach house need a little sprucing up? Or do you plan on buying one that you’d like to remodel? Here are 10 beach house decorating ideas that are fresh as a summer breeze.

1. Ditch the Theme

Your beach house should be a calming display of modern or classic relaxation, not an ornate Pottery Barn showroom. Instead of cluttering the walls and countertops with shells, think of subtle hints that nod to the beachy vibe, like including sandy or coral…
