📰 In the news
Decisions closest to home: Palm Beach County’s municipal elections will be held March 10, shaping everyday issues like zoning and parks, and registration has closed for voters in Delray Beach and nearby communities — get voting and ballot details.
Handmade juried works showcased: ArtFest by the Sea continues today in Jupiter with 300-plus artists and coastal views, plus free admission and free parking at the Florida Power and Light lot with trolley service — get all the details.
Streamlined service model arrives: Popup Bagels has opened at CityPlace West Palm, bringing a tight menu, hot-batch bagels, and kosher-approved cream cheeses like plain and scallion to a spot convenient for Delray Beach — read the full story.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.
