One of the best/worst jobs I ever held down as a high school student was slinging Blizzards and Peanut Buster Parfaits at a Dairy Queen in Lapeer, Michigan, in the late ’90s. Some aspects of the gig sucked pretty hard — like the time a grumpy, grown-ass adult literally threw…

It’s been said before, but it bears repeating: South Florida might have been late to the craft beer game, but it’s making up for lost time, and in a significant way. Witness the upcoming South Florida Beer Week, which kicks off on Saturday with dozens of different events offered throughout…
Time was when no bookshelf was complete without a collection of dog-eared paperbacks by mystery writer extraordinaire Agatha Christie.
