Additional data supports that trend. S&P Global Mobility reported that the average age of vehicles on U.S. roads will reach 12.8 years in 2025, continuing a long-term pattern of Americans owning cars and trucks longer.

Cox Automotive’s Kelley Blue Book also reports that new car prices remain high. The average transaction price for a new car in May 2026 was still up year-on-year, despite a slight decline in prices and increased incentives from April. This shows that the market…
Q: This year, some of my caladiums have been slow to sprout new shoots with colorful leaves. Should I give them special treatment? A: Regular care is all that is needed for caladiums to regain their vigor after a cold winter and dry spring. Freezing temperatures may have affected some bulbs (actually tubers) that are close to the soil surface. We often say it slows down growth, but in this case it slows down spring growth. Growth may also be slowed if caladiums are located in areas that do not have sufficient water supply until the rainy season returns. The…

The company’s challenges extend beyond its balance sheet. Brightline has struggled with public perception issues related to fatal collisions with pedestrians and vehicles, leading some critics to use nicknames such as “Death…
If some lawmakers get their way, new U.S. antitrust proposals could hurt Florida’s small business community The American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA) covers online marketplaces, such as app stores and search engines, that Florida small businesses use to find new customers, process payments, and more. AICOA supporters argue that the bill will help level the playing field between high-tech companies and small businesses. But opponents say just the opposite: AICOA would harm Florida’s small businesses far more than it would harm the platforms it targets. Edward Long, now director of the Center for Innovation at the James Madison…

American Everglades advocates are very pleased with the federal government’s continued restoration…
