Jaime Moscoso, Austin Dingwall, Nicolas Glenn If you care about how Vero Beach will look and feel a decade from now, and you value the unhurried scale along Ocean Drive, the way something new on Cardinal meets the street, and how a block off 14th still reads as "Vero," you should know the name Austin Dingwall. Austin is the principal of Dingwall Architecture and has just been named president of AIA Treasure Coast. He holds graduate degrees in Architecture and Urban Design fro

Just over two weeks ago, Indian River State College marked its 100,000th credential conferred since its founding, a milestone in its own right, but the real story lies in the graduates the school has produced, one of whom addressed this year’s graduating class. Taylor Gerring graduated from The River in 2003 with an associate's degree in business. A decade later, he was in Switzerland at a table with seven other people, and together they co-founded Ethereum. Most people have

There has never been anyone in Indian River County quite like Freddie Woolfork . He was the Gifford kid who went out into the world, earned his degree from Florida A&M, saw his options and then chose, very much on purpose, to come home and widen the horizon for everyone coming after him. At the Gifford Youth Achievement Center , he helped turn a fragile idea into the “miracle on 43rd Avenue," founded in 1998 to boost the low 25% graduation rate for Black students in the area,

Step into DuBose & Sons on Old Dixie and it’s immediately clear. With maps, photographs and posters on the walls, and a family who can walk you through Vero’s past intersection by intersection, the shop feels like a compact, working museum of Vero Beach history. The line runs back to 1912, when J.C. DuBose opened his first jewelry store and later moved to a remote little place called Vero, long before “Beach” appeared on the sign. Over the decades, the family expanded to se

Vero local Barry Nordstrand didn't set out to make a movie, but to do something interesting with the historic ski lodge he owns.

Jason Beal’s story starts on Jungle Trail. Jason Beal His great‑great‑great‑grandmother and widow of Moses Beal , Adeline Beal , moved from the Ocala area to the Orchid Island side of the Indian River in the 1890s, working that sandy ground first with vegetables, then with citrus as groves spread along what became Jungle Trail. By the 1920s, that rough track was the growers’ road—about eight miles of hard‑packed sand that citrus families across Orchid Island used to haul fru

We couldn’t let this week’s Vero Minute pass without honoring Ray McNulty , who passed away on February 18. An award winning and celebrated journalist, yes, but his real genius was in those opinion pieces that landed like news. His “My Vero” columns had the snap and certainty of a straight report, sourced, detailed, full of who said what and who did what, and then, before you knew it, you were deep inside his very specific take on what it all meant. When Ray weighed in, i
