Whether it’s cancer, chronic pain, seizures, or glaucoma, most of us have someone in our lives who could benefit from the legalization of marijuana.

The workweek is finally over, and the weekend is here. With the snowbirds flown off home, South Florida belongs to the locals once again. While it’s still nice and uncrowded, let’s shake things up with Saturday brunch instead of Sunday, partying like a native at the zoo, and hanging out…

When people think American diner, they think Denny’s: Moons Over My Hammy, the Grand Slam, and, of course, the endless coffee. Diners, with their bottomless coffee and endless hours of operation, also tend to be synonymous with police officers. Men and women in blue need to rest and refuel while…
If you were alive in the ’90s and early aughts, you should remember a little band known as Green Day. If you were in high school or college around 2004, you definitely rocked out to “American Idiot” while driving in your car. It’s one of those songs that spoke to…
