Others are just catching wind of it now and are, understandably, very curious what all the fuss is about. Either way, here's where things stand. If you've been tracking the slow march of the Three Corners project, waiting for this waterfront reboot can feel like watching paint dry. Seven years after the community engagement and

Set your alarm! Sunday, Aug. 30, 7:26 AM Three boosters of a Falcon Heavy ignite at once from Kennedy Space Center, a bigger show than anything we've seen leave the Cape lately, and NASA's biggest observatory since the James Webb. Here's what makes it worth the early wake-up. The Nancy Grace Roman Telescope carries a mirror the same size as Hubble's, but its camera takes in roughly 100 times more space in a single frame. Where Hubble picks off one target at a time, Roman swee

The Vero Beach Book Center just announced its fall lineup, and it's stacked! But if you've got a kid in the house, don't wait!

Yet at two hours and twenty-five minutes, it suffers from a mild case of bloat. Nothing drags, strictly speaking, making it a good film, if not quite a great one. The editing is seamless, the casting entirely unoffending, an

Rose West and Ken Grudens Look what just got saved! A 1.6-acre stretch along the St. Sebastian River's South Prong, the last privately zoned link standing between a future trailhead off County Route 512 and conservation land the City of Sebastian already protects, is preserved for good instead of paved over.

Two towns with a lot more name recognition and a lot more people, and Vero's holding the line right between them.
