Designated as the Sailfish Capital of the World, Stuart can found just north of Tequesta, in Martin County.

While everyone loves a long weekend, Memorial Day is a time to honor and mourn military personnel who have died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It started in 1868, shortly after the Civil War, when it was formalized by a "Memorial Day Order" issued by Grand Army of the Republic Commander-in-Chief John A. Logan to commemorate the sacrifices of those soldiers. Memorial Day became an official federal holiday in 1971. While cook-outs and parties are common this weekend, on Monday, the cities and towns across South Florida will remember those who gave their last full measure of devotion through events, gatherings, ceremonies, or parades. Here are some free local events to attend.

“The nation’s housing market, after a wild surge that sent home prices up over 30 percent in some cities in 2021, will be less intense next year”, according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

The NAR 2022 housing forecast anticipates the market will continue slowing down from the frenzy seen in the spring when prices shot up to new heights. However, prices will stay high, inventory will remain tight, and mortgage rates will rise. Other…
