Happy weekend, Delray Beach!
In today’s happening-today edition: Court of Dreams for Special Olympics, a St. Patrick’s Day parade, Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience, and more. + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.
From today’s sponsor, FinanceBuzz: Many Florida drivers end up paying higher auto insurance premiums because they don’t shop around enough. The same driver with the same car can get wildly different quotes from different insurers, so it truly pays to compare. Their free tool makes it easy.*

📰 In the news
Serving a bigger purpose: Delray Beach’s Court of Dreams will be held at Delray Beach Tennis Center March 27 and 28, with tennis and pickleball tournaments and interactive activities benefiting Special Olympics Florida’s programs — get all the details.
Aligning skills with civic needs: FAU and Palm Beach County formed a partnership to strengthen the workforce, grow talent, and expand career paths. Palm Beach County proclaimed March 3 as “Florida Atlantic Career Center Day” — get all the details.
A legacy of civic generosity: Delray Beach’s Scott Porten has been recognized for championing local nonprofits, the arts, and children’s charities, including leadership at the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce and Old School Square — 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.*
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Neighborhood Italian upgrade: Segreto Italia turns random Tuesdays into linger-worthy nights, with twirlable pasta, real-deal flavors, and a cozy locals-first vibe. Authentic without the fuss, this new Delray spot delivers comfort, craft, and a little dolce far niente. You’ll leave plotting your next plate of ragu.
Glow-up without the drama: If your skin’s battling Florida sun, AC, and caffeine, Dr. Mylissa’s Medical Boutique provides thoughtful, physician-led care, from Botox and fillers to laser resurfacing and body contouring, delivering natural-looking results that feel refreshingly you.
Quick round, anyone?: West Delray Regional Park pairs an 18-hole layout with a forgiving 9, perfect for sharpening lines or playing with friends still learning their hyzer. Water and a couple extra discs help, since South Florida heat and wind keep things lively, and quick sessions often stretch longer than planned.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Last call for the CVS Epic Beauty Sale: Today’s your last chance to save on all sorts of self-care products at CVS, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale before it ends →
Paying full price is officially optional: Blu Dot just marked down dozens of their best sofas, beds, dining tables, outdoor pieces, and lighting by as much as 60%. Not because something’s wrong with them, but because every great design eventually has to make room for the next one. The deals change daily, so it’s always a new adventure. *See what’s on sale today →
Most people have no idea what’s happening inside their body: Not because the data doesn’t exist, but because no one’s collecting it. Routine annual checkups miss things like body composition, biological age, and the biomarkers that can help predict long-term patterns. The good news? HumeHealth offers tools to help you track all of that at home for less than the cost of a specialist visit. *Use code NEW20 to save 20% →
Something in your house is about to break: It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’ll be staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast. An AHS home warranty covers these types of surprises + *select plans are $150 off right now →
