A Snow Day at The Loop Kitchen and Bar
A snowman who has spent a decade pining for summer is about to get his wish, in Florida. In June. At Riverside Theatre. What most people don't know about Olaf is how close he came to being something else entirely -- a penguin. Instead, he became a snowman who wants nothing more than to revel in the one season built to destroy him. He'll be holding court at The Loop Kitchen & Bar three Wednesdays this summer: June 24, July 15, and July 22 5:30 to 7:30. The event is completely

The Art of Beauty from Brokenness
There is an entire philosophy built around the idea that what breaks you can also make you more beautiful. In Japan, they made it into an art form. When pottery shatters, some artists repair it with gold. The cracks become the most luminous part of the object. The break is the story. That's kintsugi. And this Wednesday, June 17 at 6:30 PM, the Vero Beach Art Club is hosting a kintsugi workshop benefitting The Sheepdog Program, which lives that philosophy every single day. Adr

The Moms of Mom Walk
Photo Credit: Emilia Muniz, Momento & Co Vero Beach has never had a shortage of things to do. What it has lacked, especially for young families, is a reliable way in.

It often shapes who stays, who leaves, and who ever fully participates in the life of the community. Mom Walk

Yesterday, the flag went up, meaning the countdown has begun. Photo Credit: Jim Wilson Photo Credit: Jim Wilson The SS Breconshire has been resting on our reef since 1894. She's just 150 yards from shore, so close enough to swim, yet far enough to feel like an adventure. On the Fourth, before the heat sets in and t

Rumor Has It: Wednesday's The Day
McKee Botanical Garden has a signature mood. Cultivated calm. Pebble paths. Serene ponds. Last weekend, crowds materialized for the annual Waterlily Celebration, blossoms floating in glassy perfection, everyone behaving themselves. That era is over...at least for the next few days. Meet Princess Pungent. She arrived at McKee just last month, in May, as an unremarkable two-inch spike. She has since been growing nine inches in a single day. She is currently an imposing alien gr
