Good morning, neighbor! 👋
The breeze is getting cooler, the sunsets are getting pinker, and the weekends are filling up faster than a brunch waitlist on Worth Avenue. Between fall festivals, new foodie spots, and a few traffic cones on I-95 (sorry, we had to mention it), there’s plenty going on across Palm Beach County.
So grab your cafecito, kick off those sandals, and let’s see what’s stirring around town this week.
