The Town of Jupiter and the Village of Tequesta are nestled between Palm Beach Gardens and Stuart. Both areas cater to the outdoor style, as they wrap around the Loxahatchee River and Intracoastal Waterway, which provide incomparable views to residents. For this reason, water sports and boating are abundant. Jupiter and Tequesta also offer their share of championship golf courses and pristine beaches frequented often under consistently sunny skies.

The Lighthouse Cove mini-golf course will be a 36-hole facility located in Jupiter and is expected to open in the fall.

Land clearing has begun on the vacant 2-acre property on the east side of State Road A1A, across the street from the Jupiter River Park mobile home park. Located just north of Jupiter Beach Road, the facility will also feature a 2,000 square foot, two-story building that will have a restaurant and ice cream store in it. In addition, there is also a plan in the works for an 8,000 square foot preserve area on the property.

The mini-golf facility is said to fit the “funky fishing village” feel that the town is trying to create along A1A between U.S. 1 and Jupiter Beach Road. The complex will be open seven days a week from 10am to 10pm and…

Two new, unnamed stores will replace the former Sandy’s Hallmark Shop and the Bealls Outlet store located in the Publix anchored shopping center in Chasewood Plaza located at 6230 – 6410 West Indiantown Road, Jupiter.  Construction of the new stores is expected to start later this summer.

When the fourth quarter started last night the Miami Heat found themselves in a spot that they were seldom in during the regular season but had come all too familiar with in the post season: down and pressing.

Down 3-2 in the series and entering the fourth quarter down ten points, Lebron James had 12 minutes left to make sure the San Antonio Spurs did not celebrate on the floor of the American Airlines Arena.  Dwayne Wade had 12 minutes left to stage a comeback and force a game seven. And, Chris Bosh had 12 minutes left to save their season.
 
They had battled all year to defend their trophy. 82 games in the regular season, another 15 games in the postseason, and thanks to some late game heroics at the end of regulation and overtime they will have one…

Leading up to the start of the U.S. Open, Merion Golf Club had received its fair share of rain. With the remnants of Tropical Storm Andrea making its way through the Philadelphia area last Friday and a cold front causing more rain on Monday and Tuesday, the course had received close to six inches of rain in five days (the typical average rain fall totals for the area is about three inches for the entire month of June).

Some dryer weather came Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, however a storm moved in from the Midwest on Thursday and wreaked havoc on Thursday’s opening round. Two separate weather delays affected all 156 players in the event and caused the first round to be extended into Friday.

The first delay came around…
