Welcome to the summer issue of Port St. Lucie Magazine and my introduction to the fascinating places, faces and spaces in and around Port St. Lucie.
I’d encourage those reading this column to try new things here in Port St. Lucie and to enjoy the many activities available in this incredible city...
Mitch Kaleel belies his 94 years on earth with his spritely step, his youthful charm and his contagious exuberance. He also has a way of keeping people spellbound with stories of his personal accomplishments and family history, or explaining how avoiding the five Ws — white sugar, white flour, white potatoes, white pasta and white rice — keeps him healthy....
Surviving Florida summers is not always easy as the temperature and humidity can become almost unbearable for those who stay here for the dog days...
The 2024 hurricane season is forecast to be the worst seen in a while, which has put Floridians on edge. That said, even coastal residents aren’t helpless...
GET YOUR FREE RIDE!— SPONSORED CONTENT —
There are no free rides in life, unless you are a commuter who needs to get home from work. That’s when South Florida Commuter Services (SFCS), a program of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), steps in with a free Uber or taxi ride...
These days it’s common for dog owners to bring their pups with them wherever they go: on errands, out to dinner, aboard flights. Oftentimes, teacup-sized puppies squeeze into stylish handbags to go shopping while larger breeds climb aboard fishing yachts to go angling. Whatever their habits, a large segment of dog lovers will do their mightiest to incorporate their four-legged friends into their lives, as holistically and as seamlessly as possible...
Port St. Lucie received an armload of awards and honors and some great news in the last six months or so and is up for even more of them between now and fall. It’s one of the best places to live in the country, according to several national surveys. Check these out...
The heart of Port St. Lucie will soon be impossible to miss: The world’s tallest sculpture of a heart is being assembled in Tradition by Mattamy Homes. About the height of a six-story building, it will tower over its surroundings and be visible from the interstate. Completion is expected in the fall...
Florida summer is famously inhospitable. The air is thick with humidity and the heat is relentless. Late afternoons are punctuated by thunderstorms; mosquitoes rule at dusk. Even when the tropics seem quiet, hurricanes remain on our radar. But there is a reward for all the sweat and suffering: the sweet taste of a perfect mango...
On Sept. 25, 2022, Patti Jean was on top of the world. A few days earlier, in her hometown of Tiverton, Rhode Island, she’d had a signing event for her newly released book Massive Strength: One Woman’s Healing Journey Through Abuse, Addiction and Disease...
If you were at California’s Disneyland between 2010 and 2018, you may have spotted the Dapper Dans harmonizing and dancing along Main Street. If one fellow in the signature striped vest, straw hat and spats looked relatively young, you probably spotted Nathan Shrake, now of Port St. Lucie.l...
Captain’s Corner: Derek Jeter’s Journey from Kalamazoo to the Elliott is open through December in the Baseball Gallery at the Elliott Museum in Stuart, giving visitors an up-close glimpse into the life and career of modern-day baseball legend Derek Jeter. The collection comes from Patrick Armstrong and son, Brian Armstrong, and includes signed balls, bats, jerseys, photos, helmets, an original scouting report, career stats and so much more. There’s even a full-size replica of Jeter’s locker that makes a good photo spot...
The boardwalk along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River provides an exceptional view for visitors seeking an up close and accessible view of Florida wetlands and the river...
