POSITIVE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK GREAT FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND

This year’s Labor Day weekend is predicted to see more Americans hit the road than in the past five years.  IHS Global Insight and AAA Travel cite the country’s improved employment situation and recovering home values for the upswing in the economy and the spike in travel plans.  Their reports predict that 34.1 million people will travel 50 miles or more within the country this Labor Day weekend.

It is every golfers dream to one day get their PGA Tour card and play at the highest level of professional golf. For two local golfers, those dreams could soon become a reality.

With the top 25 on the money list automatically securing PGA Tour cards before the playoffs even start, Lovemark has ensured at least some type of status on the PGA Tour for next season.

Lovemark won the Midwest Classic back in July and finished the regular season with a win, three top-10 finishes and six top-25 finishes. He will have an opportunity to improve on that position and even achieve…

FLORIDA RANKS No. 1 DESTINATION for WEALTH MIGRATION

A recently released study entitled “How Money Walks” by Travis H. Brown, investigates how people are relocating from high-tax states with heavy regulation to lower-tax states with less regulation.  Discovering in fact, more wealth migrated to the Sunshine State in the last two decades than any other state in the nation.  According to the research done by Mr. Brown, the statistics amount to a staggering $95.6 billion dollars; considerably more than the No. 2 state of Arizona, at $28 billion dollars, amounting to three times as much.

As one might expect, our area would, with its beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Coast, abundant sparkling waterways, and year-round sunshine be appealing to new residents. Mr. Brown reminds readers that in California, “you’ll…

Jupiter Lighthouse Turns Blue This Weekend
