Luxurious 13-Story Apartment Complex Planned for Hollywood, Florida.

"Brothers Devastated After Thieves Steal Food Trailer on Eve of Opening Day, Seek Public's Help"

Thieves stole a food trailer belonging to two brothers from a Hollywood storage facility just before their opening day.

The trailer contained equipment and supplies needed for the business.

The brothers were devastated by the theft and are asking for the public's help in locating the trailer.

They have set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the losses and are determined to move forward with their business despite the setback.

A 13-story luxury apartment complex is planned in Hollywood, Florida.

🌿 Outdoor & Living Survival

Trail Etiquette & Leave No Trace Principles in Florida's Parks

Florida’s parks and wilderness areas offer breathtaking trails, diverse wildlife, and serene outdoor experiences.

Practicing proper trail etiquette and following Leave No Trace principles helps protect these environments and ensures everyone can enjoy them safely and responsibly.

Stay on Marked Trails: Avoid creating new paths.

Florida ecosystems like wetlands and scrub habitats are fragile — wandering off-trail damages plants and disturbs wildlife.
Pack In, Pack Out: Bring a small trash bag and carry out all waste.

Even biodegradable items like fruit peels attract wildlife and disrupt natural behaviors.
Respect Wildlife: Observe animals from a distance.

Never feed or approach alligators, birds, or other wildlife — it’s dangerous and harmful to them.
Right-of-Way on Trails: Hikers yield to wildlife, and downhill hikers yield to uphill hikers.

Bicyclists and trail runners yield to hikers — stay aware and courteous.
Minimize Noise: Keep voices low and avoid loud music.

Florida’s trails are home to delicate species; quiet footsteps preserve the peace and wildlife experience.
Leave What You Find: Take photos, not souvenirs.

Shells, plants, feathers, and rocks belong to the ecosystem — removing them disrupts nature’s balance.

Tip: Bring a small brush or cloth to remove sand and soil from shoes before and after hiking — this prevents spreading invasive species between Florida’s parks and preserves.

⚠️ Safety: Stay aware of weather changes, carry plenty of water, and watch for wildlife near trails — especially snakes and alligators near water.

Let someone know your route and bring a map or GPS in case cell service drops.

💡 Answer to Trivia Question:

The name "Topeekeegee Yugnee" means "gathering place" in the Seminole language. This is a fitting name for the popular recreational spot.
