Rare Birds Put The Breaks On Beach Driving In Daytona - Aug 15 10:41 AM

A big tourist draw for Daytona Beach is the fact that people can drive their cars on the beach, just park right where they want to & hang out for the day.
You don't have to fight for parking in a parking lot then lug your cooler, blankets, chairs and surfboards or other toys from the parking lot to the beach, it's all right there for you.
 
 
Recently, some rare visitors decided to visit Daytona Beach. ...

Mary Keller Seabird Rehabilitation Sanctuary In Ponce Inlet - May 17 07:36 PM
My day was a bit different today, it started out the same as usual though. I got to the office and went out back to feed my "canal critters", as I walked back to the office I almost stepped on something green on the sidewalk.
As I looked closer it was a tiny bird. I went to see if it was alive and it scooted towards the bushes but did not try to fly away. I bent ...

Florida's Other Snow-Bird~The Northern Atlantic Right Whales - Jun 09 08:06 PM
Late December to early March is known as Snow-Bird Season in Florida. People that live up north most of the year spend 3 or 4 months here in Florida away from the bitter cold and snow.
Some of these Snow-Birds aren't human, they are the Northern Atlantic Right Whales. They spend their summers in the Bay Of Fundy then in October pregnant females and some juvenile female & males begin their long migration to Florida. We sometimes begin hearing ...

Don't Risk Being A Lifelong Renter! Buy Real Estate Today! - Oct 05 03:06 PM
That was the warning given to First Time Homebuyers, in an article written by Thomas S. Brown, Daytona Beach News Journal based on the UCF Institute of Economic Competitiveness..
The UCF findings state that Volusia County's housing industry will experience faint stirring of recovery about a year earlier than most other Florida metropolitan areas are expected to.  So what does that tell you buy now!  That's what the experts are saying.
As I read the article the research brings up valid ...

I Don't Like Spiders And Snakes... - Sep 14 11:28 AM
Well...
I just don't like spiders, snakes aren't all that bad...
Only 6 out of our 44 Florida snakes are venomous! These snakes are the eastern coral, the southern copperhead, the cottonmouth, and 3 species of rattlesnake; eastern diamondback, timber and the dusky pygmy rattler.
If you see one of these mentioned, no not approach them, back away slowly. If you find them in a home or building call your local animal control and have the experts come ...

Explaining Contingency Offers To Real Estate Sellers - Nov 13 05:24 PM
With the market being as slow as it is, some real estate sellers may be desperate enough to consider purchase offers that are contingent on other sales. Unfortunately, this consideration sometimes stems from the misconception that their listing will still be readily available to potential buyers. But this is simply not the case!
As the listing agent of quite a few houses, condos, manufactured homes and vacant parcels, when another agent brings me an offer on one ...

I'm No Biker Babe but I Love Daytona Beach! - Oct 19 07:36 AM

Biggest Tax Overhaul in Florida History - Is it as Good as it Sounds? - Jun 18 10:00 AM
Legislation ended their special session on Thursday with what sounds like a huge reduction in our property taxes, but wait.  Is it is good as it was built up to be?  It could be if everything goes as planned and people vote out the Save Our Homes amendment.  We are going to see a rollback of between 7% and 9% initially and the big reduction will be seen in the planned super exemption. 
I have to applaud our ...
