📰 In the news
Hands-on learning blossoms: Center for Creative Education’s Spring Garden Party will raise funds for an outdoor STEM Garden Classroom at The Foundations School in West Palm Beach on March 16 at Club Colette — learn more about the event.
Big economic waves ahead: Palm Beach International Boat Show will run March 25-29 with hundreds of boats and over $1.2 billion in yachts and accessories, plus the Windward VIP Club near Jupiter — get all the details.
Beachside shift for officers: West Palm Beach police are courting NYPD officers, offering $75,921 to $117,778 and Equivalency of Training support. Interviews in New York will be held March 4 to 6 — see when and where to interview.
Celebrating leadership and philanthropy: Palm Beach Atlantic University will honor Hilary Geary Ross and Sara McCann at the 34th Women of Distinction Luncheon on February 17 at The Breakers, benefiting scholarships for PBA students — see honorees and award details.
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.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial walk-in-the-door fee to x-rays, surgery, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could save thousands on your next vet bill with Lemonade.
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:

🫶 We got your back
Big-box expansions on deck: A 134,148-square-foot Lowe’s with a 26,601-square-foot garden center is planned in Westlake, Palm Beach County, after Minto Communities brokered a 10.6-acre land sale. The store will also serve as a regional headquarters. Site plans are approved, and Walmart has submitted a plan for an adjacent site. Read the full story.
Your neighbors are Googling you: It’s uncomfortable but true — employers, new friends, even other parents at school pickup search names all the time. If something negative, outdated, or misleading shows up first, it can shape opinions before you ever meet. BetterReputation helps push down unwanted search results so your first impression actually reflects who you are today. And if it’s someone you care about, you can help them too.
Resort restaurant’s stylish revival: Angle at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has unveiled refreshed interiors and an updated menu, now balancing steak and seafood with house-made pastas and local produce. Dining hours are extended, and live music adds to the vibe. A polished option for a special night out. See what’s new at Angle.
Gold is having a moment: Between inflation headlines, market swings, and growing global uncertainty, precious metals are (again) in the spotlight. American Hartford is currently offering up to $25,000 in free silver when you open a qualified account. They’ll also help you set up a penalty-free gold IRA with a lowest price guarantee, no buyback fees, and 7-day price protection.
Strings, keys, and more: If that “I’ll fix it later” guitar buzz or your kid’s band tryout is looming, Jupiter Music Center has rentals, repairs, and lessons under one roof, plus a solid selection of new and used gear, so you can sound better than your neighbor’s leaf blower.
A second opinion never hurts: Not every financial advisor is the right fit, and it’s okay to explore your options. Unbiased matches you with an advisor based on your personal situation, giving you a chance to ask questions in a free, no-pressure conversation to see if the fit makes sense. No obligation — just helpful advice.
Slurp-worthy comfort ahead: Whether you’re craving steamy pho, crisp rolls, or a no-fuss banh mi, PHO & ROLLS delivers clean, satisfying flavors that make weeknights easy. Plus, boba and Vietnamese iced coffee await if you need a little pick‑me‑up with your noodles.
