Roy Rogers, the man who loved butterflies and helped build Weston, has died at 90. He was always cheerful, always hopeful, always smiling. He will be missed by many. RIP Roy. sun-sentinel.com/2026/10/01/…
Could this happen in Broward County? If it does, someone will be sure to write about it. From Anna Maria Island over on the west coast of Florida: Construction continues on controversial beachfront home islander.org/?p=74989 via @ami_islander
What a fabulous farewell column from a fabulous person. We say our goodbyes tomorrow to Michelle, @gregcote and @FernandezAndreC , and I will miss not only their work but their company and good humor... Sadly, our business is dying. (Two more bad things happened today in our 3-newspaper sports section cocoon, but it's not my place to say.) The three hedge funds-or-chains that own the three S. Florida newspapers haven't been able to make enough revenue (in their view) with a paywall in a world where anyone can ask AI for a summary of an article. I'd like to see a no-paywall approach, but the hedge funds/chains know more than I do and say it won't work. There will be a day when none of us - myself and 11 others who remain sportswriters for The Herald, Sentinel and Palm Beach Post - will be around. And while some fans are fine getting their information solely from aggregators, I hope everyone realizes there will be very little to aggregate when all 12 of us are invariably gone.
Standing on the 21st floor of a tower on the rise in Davie. It’s the first of five towers that could be standing as soon as 2031. That’s the Hard Rock hotel in the background, within walking distance.
The @orlandosentinel and @SunSentinel obtained records that show Fla. insurers paid more than $1 billion to their own affiliate companies while crying poor.
The Senate ordered us to "Destroy or Return" the documents.
We did not comply. Instead, we wrote.
