Davie County Enterprise Record · Davie, FL
Nearby: Davie, FLSeventh-grader Tristan Farr commanded the attention of the Mocksville Board of Commissioners last Tuesday as he presented his project to hang banners in town that celebrate local veterans. “I was nervous at first, but it was fun,” Farr said. The project sprang from Farr’s involvement in the Davie Respect Initiative, which, according to its website, is a program created to encourage and highlight projects or ideas initiated by young adults to make a difference in Davie County. The town will finalize the details, but Farr’s efforts mean that next year, veterans will be honored by having their photo displayed on banners along the main thoroughfares in Mocksville. Applications are expected to begin being accepted in January. Currently plans being discussed would have the banners hang from Memorial Day until Veterans Day. The banners are expected to cost between $130 and $160 according to Farr’s presentation, with approximately 60 to be sold.
Atlanta Black Star · Delray Beach, FL
Nearby: Delray Beach, FLFlorida’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has swept up a nearly six-decade-old St. Patrick’s Day parade, triggering outrage in Delray Beach and a scramble to save the Irish celebration. City officials announced they would not host the parade or Pride event in 2027, citing a new state law restricting local government support for DEI activities. The decision prompted critics to point out that a campaign against identity-based programming, which has been known to target Black Americans, now threatens a longstanding celebration of Irish heritage. “Following a review of the legislation and its requirements, the city has determined that it is legally prohibited from organizing, funding or promoting these events in 2027,” officials said in a statement posted on the parade’s website. The backlash has already pushed Mayor Tom Carney to announce efforts to preserve the parade. According to WPBF, he said the city is pursuing outside help following residents’ complaints.

Nearby: Miami, FLThe search for a filling meal in Miami keeps pointing away from dining rooms and host stands. The plates people actually crave cost less across a counter, often in a strip mall or a window on a busy road. The trick is knowing which counters still hold the line. The honest answer: counters beat dining rooms. A frita counter from 1979, a sandwich window that runs until 5 am, and a fish market grill on the Miami River all feed you for less. At Garcia’s, the chowder lists at $6 a cup and Cuban coffee at $3 (venue menu, October 2026). Among the cheap eats Miami regulars point to, these three cover most of the day. Readers following this should also see Cuban coffee in Miami: what a colada, cortadito, and cafecito actually cost. What does fifteen dollars actually buy? Garcia’s Seafood Grill posts its menu online, and the numbers hold up. Grouper chowder runs $6 for a cup or $8 for a bowl.
