The Wild West of Florida Real Estate
If you’ve been house hunting lately, you already know the Florida real estate market is a bit like musical chairs… except the chairs cost half a million, and someone just turned off the music. Now, things might get even weirder.

Cruise Lights or Confuse Lights?

Tooth Be Told: Florida Might Ban Fluoride
Here’s something you probably didn’t expect to be debating in 2025: fluoride in your drinking water.
Florida lawmakers just passed Senate Bill 700, part of the larger “Florida Farm Bill,” which—despite its agricultural name—could lead to big changes at the tap. The bill doesn’t mention fluoride outright, but it bans certain additives in public water supplies, and yes, fluoride is one of them. All that’s left now is the governor’s signature.
AROUND TOWN
Southshore Spotlight  Jacob Mobley The Mobley name is as common in Ruskin as mosquitoes — but Jacob Mobley is anything but ordinary. Heading into his senior year at Lennard High, Jacob is ready to lead the Longhorns with a 4.5 GPA and over 3,000 career passing yards. A former basketball player turned quarterback, his arm has helped push Lennard football back over the .500 mark for the first time since 2020. Off the field, he volunteers with youth sports and leads by example. With hopes of playing Division I football, Jacob is a standout student, athlete, and role model. A talented young man from a great local family — keep going, Jacob! | Foodies Only  Latitudes Tucked in the old MiraBay Winn-Dixie plaza (soon-to-be Aldi), Latitudes is a local favorite. Good food, laid-back vibe, and always a steady buzz — it’s the kind of spot that feels like home. | We Know a Guy…or Girl  Need a painter? A plumber? Someone brave enough to tackle that lightbulb orbiting 30 feet above your living room? We’ve got you. |
