01 — Worth knowing In the newsThree local stories this week, plus a few worth your money.
A pizza process worth noting: Coral Springs spot How Ya Dough’n is turning out sourdough pies after a seven-day fermentation, with dough fed daily and delivered three days a week, for lighter, airier slices -- taste the sourdough process.
Building future robotics skills: After a state championship showing in Miami, Coral Springs teachers finished June 17-18 training on the new robotics game and will launch expanded teams for students this upcoming season -- learn what’s planned next.
Milestone in men’s health: Broward Health Coral Springs became the first in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach to complete 500 Aquablation procedures for BPH, earning an A Hospital Safety Grade -- see the men’s health milestone.
Thoughtful Father's Day gifts, ready by Sunday. Father's Day is tomorrow, which makes shipping anything now a gamble you'll probably lose. Skip it entirely. A whole range of Father's Day gifts is ready for same-day pickup in hours, so something personal is well within reach by tomorrow. -- get it today.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half — this free comparison tool makes it easy.*
Your insurance won't cover a $12,000 HVAC bill: If your furnace quits before it warms up, your homeowners insurance will tell you it's a "maintenance issue" and wish you luck. Insurance covers sudden disasters. It doesn't cover the systems that wear out over time, and those are the expensive ones. A home warranty is built for exactly this. HVAC, water heater, appliances, plumbing, electrical... all covered for less than $1/day with no age restrictions on what's covered. You call, they send a tech, you pay a service fee. They handle the rest -- this one's $150 off right now.* Highlights this week: |
02 — From our sponsor 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, GoldCo 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.* |
03 — On our radar
Local business spotlightNearby spots we'd actually send a friend to.
Crack into the good stuff: Blue Crabs Shack and Seafood keeps it simple for Tamarac seafood nights with live blue crabs and hearty seafood boils, and they’ll steam everything they sell so you can skip the stove and go straight to the fun. Bring the bibs, we’ll pretend it’s meal prep.
Backyard nature fix: Skip the long drive and spend a night under the stars at Markham Park Campground, an easy win when you need fresh air without leaving Broward. Pack your hammock, a good book, and that neighbor-approved bug spray, then treat it like a mini-vacation this week.
Tee it up, neighbor: Need a quick reset that still counts as outside time, Woodmont Country Club has the fairways, greens, and laid-back vibes to turn a hectic week into a decent round. Sneak in nine before dinner or chase a personal best this weekend…Tamarac golf therapy, unlocked.

04 — Our recommendations
We got your backA handful of products and services we think are worth a look.
The real retirement risk isn't a bad year, it's a long life: 40 years of saving, and the hard part is making it stretch across 30 more. SmartAsset's free quiz matches you with vetted fiduciary advisors who serve your area and are legally required to act in your best interests. The plan is built around you, not their commission. No obligation to hire anyone. *Start the quiz →
Carrying $5,000 or more on your cards? Stop the interest charges: A balance that size racks up interest fast, and at today's rates it barely budges no matter how much you pay. This card gives you 0% intro APR until 2028 on balance transfers (made in the first 60 days), with a $0 annual fee. That means almost two years to pay down what you owe with no interest charges. *See if it's a fit →
The slower you walk, the more it works: Tai Chi walking is trending online. Turns out it's centuries old — slow deliberate steps, paced breath, attention on the body. Thirty minutes a day burns fat, lifts your mood, and builds balance. No gym, no treadmill, no pounding on the joints. Take the quick quiz to see if it fits, then use code BASELOCAL for a discount on the coaching plan. *See how it works →
The conversation no man wants to have with his doctor: Turns out ~70% of men over 50 are avoiding the exact same one. The hesitation, the awkward throat-clear, the hoping it just sorts itself out… you're far from alone. The good news? You don't need the waiting room at all. What used to mean a face-to-face appointment and an uncomfortable pharmacy run now takes a few clicks from the couch — discreet online evaluation, personalized treatment shipped straight to your door. *No appointment, no awkward small talk →
Get cash back on your gas, groceries, and dining: This is real cash, not points you have to convert like credit card rewards. There are no coupons to clip and no deals to hunt down, you just claim an offer, pay with your linked card, and the cash back lands automatically. You can set it up in minutes and start earning on your very next purchase. *Start earning → |
