We highlight four specific markets. Abacoa Green Market and Lantana Green Market just opened this year. We also cover Swank Specialty Produce Market located in Loxahatchee, and JoJo's Farmers Market in Jupiter. Mia shares her personal experiences with green markets.

David and Mia discuss the return of Brightline to the transportation scene. The passenger rail line with services from West Palm Beach to Miami has been shuttered since the beginning of the COVID outbreak. We discuss new features Brightline is offering including special pricing, the Polar Express experience, and Brightline+, a new door-to-door service starting in December. 

David speaks with Mia about the rare white rhinoceros born at Lion Country Safari on World Rhinoceros Day. The Loxahatchee drive-through safari park welcomed Aziza, a female southern white rhino calf. The birth contributes to worldwide conservation efforts for rhinoceroses, which are at risk because of a shrinking habitat and poaching. It is estimated that only about 20,000 white rhinos are left in the world.
