Feeding South Florida is observing Hunger Action Month this September, encouraging residents across Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties to "Go Orange" and stand against hunger. Created by Feeding America, the nationwide initiative raises awareness about food insecurity and inspires community action. Currently, approximately one million families in South Florida face hunger, including nearly 500,000 children and seniors. To address this, Feeding South Florida is operating under the 2026 theme "More Than A Meal," emphasizing that hunger relief also provides dignity, stability, and hope to individuals and families in need. To maximize community impact, Presenting Sponsor Delta Airlines is matching monetary donations dollar-for-dollar throughout September, up to $25,000. Every $1 donated allows the organization to provide approximately four meals to a family in need. South Floridians can participate in Hunger Action Month through several local initiatives: Hunger Action Day (Sept. 29): The community is invited to celebrate "Go Orange Day" by wearing a $25 "Hunger Heroes" t-shirt, available for purchase through the organization's online store. Outrun Hunger 5K (Sept. 19): Held from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach, this family-friendly event features a Kids Zone and local vendors. It will be emceed by Survivor finalist Noura Salman and television host Kirk Gimenez. Pack to Give Back (Sept. 18): Corporate teams can volunteer at one of Feeding South Florida's warehouses from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM to sort food and pack meal boxes. Volunteer Opportunities: Individuals and groups can sort food at regional warehouses or help prepare meals at the 5,000-square-foot Community Kitchen in Boynton Beach. Community Drives: Supporters are encouraged to start online fund drives or host physical food drives to collect high-demand, shelf-stable products. Dine Out: Participating local restaurants will donate a portion of select meals to support local families. "Hunger Action Month reminds us that every meal is more than food on a plate. It represents dignity, stability and hope for a neighbor facing uncertainty," said Paco Vélez, president and CEO of Feeding South Florida. "When our community, volunteers and supporters come together, we strengthen an ecosystem that helps individuals and families not only overcome hunger but thrive." The month-long initiative is supported by Presenting Sponsor Delta Airlines, alongside Premier Impact Partners Publix and Publix Supermarkets Charities.

An exhibition exploring the impact of Miami on artist Jack Pierson’s practice is nearing its final days at The Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, with the show scheduled to close on August 9. Titled Jack Pierson: The Miami Years, the exhibition is the first devoted to examining how the city shaped Pierson’s life and work.

The exhibition is curated by James Voorhies, former Curator at Large at The Bass, and is supported by Lisson Gallery, Regen Projects, and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation’s New Media Initiative. Visitors can learn more about Jack Pierson: The Miami Years and plan a visit before the exhibition closes. By ML. Photo(s)/The Bass

For luxury homeowners in Miami, a private marina can be just as valuable as ocean views or five-star amenities. While many waterfront condominiums overlook Biscayne Bay or the Intracoastal Waterway, only a select group of completed residential buildings offer residents direct access to private dockage for yachts and other vessels. Photo Credit: Cristina Gottardi/Unsplash Below are some of Miami's most notable completed luxury residential buildings designed for owners who want to keep their yacht close to home. Aston Martin Residences Photos Credit: Aston Martin Residences Official Website Address: 300 Biscayne Blvd Way, Miami, FL 33131 The Aston Martin Residences sits where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay, providing quick access to open water. One of its defining features is a private superyacht marina integrated into the property. Specifications Private dock: Approximately 900 linear feet of dockage Maximum yacht size: Vessels up to approximately 120 feet (depending on berth configuration) Water depth: Up to approximately 15-foot draft Current residence pricing: Approximately $2 million to over $30 million, depending on residence and market availability. The building is among the few luxury towers in Downtown Miami capable of accommodating large yachts directly on site. Marina Palms Yacht Club & Residences Photos Credit: Marina Palms Yacht Club & Residences Official Website Address: 17111 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami Beach, FL 33160 Completed in 2016, Marina Palms was developed specifically around a boating lifestyle and remains one of South Florida's best-known residential yacht communities. Specifications Private marina: 112 full-service slips Maximum yacht size: Up to 90 feet Deep-water access: Yes Distance to Haulover Inlet: Approximately 20 minutes Services: Dockmaster, fueling, concierge services Current residence pricing: Approximately $700,000 to over $5 million, depending on unit and availability. Unlike many condominium marinas, Marina Palms was designed as a dedicated yacht club with extensive boating services. Monaco Yacht Club & Residences Photos Credit: Monaco Yacht Club & Residences Official Website Address: 6800 Indian Creek Dr, Miami Beach, FL 33141 This waterfront condominium features a small private marina serving its limited number of residences. Specifications Private marina: 12 boat slips Maximum yacht size: Not publicly specified Residences: 39 Current residence pricing: Generally from approximately $2 million, subject to market availability. While the marina is considerably smaller than those found at larger developments, it offers direct waterfront access for residents in one of Miami Beach's most exclusive boutique buildings. Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach Photos Credit: The Ritz-Carlton Residences Official Website Address: 4701 Meridian Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140 Designed by Piero Lissoni, the property includes a private marina connected to Surprise Lake. Specifications Private marina: Yes Maximum yacht size: Approximately 40 feet Limitation: Bridge clearance on Surprise Lake restricts larger vessels. Current residence pricing: Typically $2 million to over $10 million, depending on the residence. Although yacht size is limited, the marina remains a sought-after amenity for owners with smaller boats. Una Residences Photos Credit: Una Residences Official Website Address: 175 SE 25th Rd, Miami, FL 33129 Completed in 2026, Una Residences introduced a private marina to South Brickell, a feature rarely found in the neighborhood. Specifications Private marina: Yes Maximum yacht size: Not publicly disclosed Residences: 135 Current pricing: Approximately $2.1 million to nearly $13 million, depending on availability. The building combines direct Biscayne Bay frontage with a limited number of residences and private dockage. What to Know Before Buying Private marinas are among the rarest amenities in Miami's luxury condominium market. Buyers should verify several details before purchasing: Whether boat slips are deeded, leased, or assigned by the condominium association. Slip dimensions and weight restrictions. Water depth and draft limitations. Availability of fueling and dockmaster services. HOA fees or separate marina maintenance costs. Waiting lists for slip assignments, if applicable. For owners of larger yachts, Marina Palms and Aston Martin Residences currently offer some of the most substantial private docking facilities attached to completed residential buildings in the Miami area. Buildings such as Monaco Yacht Club & Residences and Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach cater more to boutique boating lifestyles with a smaller number of slips. Pricing Availability, ownership, and lease terms for boat slips vary by property. In most buildings, dock space is limited and may be purchased separately, leased, or reserved through the condominium association. Maximum yacht sizes also depend on individual slip dimensions and marina availability. As a general Miami benchmark, long-term marina dockage can start around $27.50 per linear foot per month, putting a 40-foot boat at approximately $1,100 per month and a 60-foot yacht at about $1,650 per month before utilities, taxes and additional marina services. At higher-end private marinas, rates can be substantially more. For larger yachts, the monthly cost can quickly reach several thousand dollars. A 90-foot yacht at $50 per foot, for example, would cost approximately $4,500 per month, while a 120-foot superyacht at the same rate would approach $6,000 per month. These figures are estimates based on Miami-area marina rates, not published rates for the individual residential properties above, where private dockage can command a premium and may involve separate ownership or association fees. Buyers should confirm current slip pricing, availability, utilities, insurance requirements and any additional marina charges before purchasing. By Luiz Porto/ML Staff.

Parkland-based nonprofit Flower Power is reducing local floral waste by rescuing discarded flowers and repurposing them to bring joy to the community. In just over a year, the organization has rescued more than 5,000 bouquets to spread kindness to seniors, hospital patients, veterans, and individuals facing isolation or illness. Founder Shayna Schon was inspired to start the organization after delivering flowers to sick friends and witnessing the emotional comfort the gesture provided. Drawing on her previous experience rescuing surplus food for nonprofits, Schon applied the same waste-reduction concept to the floral industry. Partnering with local florists and businesses, Flower Power rescues dozens of bouquets each week. Volunteers refresh and rearrange the viable blooms before delivering them to senior living communities, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and schools across North Broward and South Palm Beach counties. Community Initiatives and Future Expansion To support its ongoing mission, Flower Power offers paid, hands-on floral design workshops across South Florida. During these sessions, participants create two arrangements—one to take home and another to personally gift to someone in need of a kind gesture. The organization also recently launched a "Bloom Membership," a paid subscription where members receive a fresh bouquet every Friday, with proceeds directly funding the nonprofit's free deliveries. Looking ahead, the founders envision expanding Flower Power into a full-time, statewide network across Florida. The ultimate goal is to mobilize hundreds of volunteers to assemble and deliver thousands of bouquets weekly. "Every bouquet carries more than flowers—it carries hope, compassion, and the reminder that someone cares," Schon noted. "We believe kindness can bloom from something that was once considered waste." Tax-deductible donations to support the organization's mission can be made directly via the Flower Power Community website. By ML Staff. Photos: Flower Power Community.

The Betsy, the Michelin Key boutique hotel located in Miami Beach’s Art Deco District, is presenting “From Venice With Love,” a property-wide exhibition featuring the work of internationally acclaimed Miami-based Haitian artist Edouard Duval-Carrié. On display through November 15, 2026, the exhibition coincides with Duval-Carrié’s presentation at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, bringing his exploration of Caribbean history, migration and identity to Miami Beach. Curated by Pulitzer Prize-winning Haitian-American visual historian Carl-Philippe Juste, “From Venice With Love” transforms The Betsy into an immersive showcase featuring paintings, sculptures and multimedia installations throughout the hotel. The exhibition explores themes of memory, spirituality, Vodou symbolism and the enduring cultural connections between Haiti, Africa and the Caribbean diaspora. Widely recognized as one of South Florida’s most influential contemporary artists, Duval-Carrié has spent more than three decades creating works that examine identity, migration and history through mixed media, sculpture and magical realism. His Little Haiti studio has become an important center for artistic production and cultural exchange in Miami. The exhibition opened August 1 with multiple installations throughout The Betsy’s galleries, including “Ode to the Everglades,” a monumental lobby display that will remain on view through Miami Art Week. Beginning August 9, the exhibition expands with 26 illuminated light boxes in BBar and a digital installation projected onto The Betsy Orb, the hotel’s iconic architectural landmark and public art platform. The Betsy Orb installation reinterprets Duval-Carrié’s artwork through synchronized projection and music, creating a public art experience visible from the restored alleyway connecting Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. Developed through the longtime creative partnership between Juste and Duval-Carrié, the installation uses technology as a tool to bring people together around the artwork and the conversations it inspires. Presented through a collaboration between The Betsy Writer’s Room and the FIU Public Humanities Lab, with support from the Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation’s CreARTE program and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, the exhibition extends beyond the hotel through free public programming, cultural discussions and performances in Miami Beach and Little Haiti. Through its galleries, exhibitions and cultural initiatives, The Betsy continues its commitment to making contemporary art accessible while creating opportunities for dialogue around Miami’s diverse communities. “From Venice With Love,” along with The Betsy Orb installation and accompanying programs, is free and open to the public. “From Venice With Love” Events & Programming August 8 | 2–5 p.m. Assel Jean-Pierre Jr. Jazz Trio Location: Little Haiti Cultural Center August 9 | 6–7:30 p.m. Lummus Park Promenade Series: Assel Jean-Pierre Jr. Jazz Trio Location: Lummus Park August 9 | 8–9 p.m. Official Opening of The Betsy Orb Installation and Light Boxes in BBar Location: The Betsy August 17 | 6–8:30 p.m. Fireside Chat with Edouard Duval-Carrié Location: The Betsy August 22 | 4–5 p.m. Curated Conversation: “Roots and Canvas: Tracing Miami’s Haitian Art Legacy” Location: BBar at The Betsy August 23 | 6–7:30 p.m. Ocean Drive Promenade Music Series: Etienne Charles Location: Lummus Park August 23 | 8–9 p.m. Meet the Artist: Nuria Richards & Edouard Duval-Carrié Location: BBar at The Betsy August 29 | 4–5 p.m. Curated Conversation: “Defending the Sacred: Preservation, Resilience and the Future of the Diaspora” Location: BBar at The Betsy August 30 | 6–7:30 p.m. Ocean Drive Promenade Music Series: Diaspora Vibe Afro Beat All Stars Location: Lummus Park August 30 | 8–11 p.m. Edgar Pantoja with Guest Artists Location: The Betsy Piano Bar October 31 | 8–10 p.m. Closing Celebration: Paella Party Location: The Betsy “From Venice With Love” is on view through November 15, 2026, at The Betsy, 1440 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach.

For decades, American migration followed one script: people left the Midwest for the Sun Belt, trading gray winters and legacy industries for warm weather and lower taxes. Florida was the poster child of that story. Photo resource Depositphotos But in 2026, the script is being rewritten, and one of the more surprising storylines is the growing number of people leaving Florida for the Midwest, Indiana very much included. Indianapolis recently flipped from net domestic outflow to net inflow, and affordable Indiana cities like Carmel and South Bend have been among the hottest housing markets in the country. If you are considering the move, you are joining a genuine and accelerating trend. Here is why it is happening and what to weigh before you go. The Florida Insurance Squeeze The single biggest driver behind the exodus is a cost that barely registered a decade ago: homeowner's insurance. Florida's insurance market has reached a crisis point, with premiums in some markets climbing toward levels that rival a mortgage payment. As one widely quoted analysis put it, when insurance starts rivaling the mortgage, people begin to rethink paradise. Depending on where you live in Florida, annual premiums for homeowner's coverage can run several thousand dollars, and coastal or flood-zone properties push far higher. Add mandatory flood insurance in many areas, rising deductibles for named storms, and carriers pulling out of the state entirely, and the financial breathing room that drew people to Florida in the first place has closed for a lot of households. By contrast, Indiana homeowners typically pay in the range of $1,200 to $2,000 per year for insurance, a dramatic difference that shows up in your budget every single month. The Affordability Math Has Shifted Insurance is only part of the story. Florida's home prices rose sharply during the Sun Belt boom, eroding the affordability that was once the region's main competitive advantage. Indiana, meanwhile, offers a cost of living well below the national average, with the biggest savings in housing, where median home costs often run 30 to 40% lower than in Florida. For families leaving Florida, that gap is transformative. Lower housing costs free up capital for everything else, and the Midwest's median home prices remain within reach for households priced out of the Sun Belt's most desirable markets. Indiana delivers the kind of affordability that Florida used to promise, which is precisely why remote workers, families, and cost-conscious retirees are increasingly looking north. Photo resource Depositphotos The Tax Picture Is More Balanced Than You Might Think Florida's headline advantage is no state income tax, and that is a real benefit worth acknowledging honestly. Indiana does levy a flat state income tax, but it is one of the lowest in the Midwest, sitting at 2.95% in 2026 and scheduled to drop to 2.9% in 2027. For most households, the income tax difference is more modest than the insurance and housing savings, and it is often outweighed by them. Indiana's property taxes also tend to run lower than in many parts of Florida. The net financial picture depends on your specific income, home value, and situation, so it is worth running your own numbers. But for a large share of movers, the total cost of living comes out meaningfully lower in Indiana even after accounting for the income tax. The Climate Trade-Off Is Real, and Worth Being Honest About No honest guide skips the obvious: you are trading Florida's warmth for Indiana's winters, and that is a genuine adjustment. Indianapolis averages far fewer sunny days than coastal Florida, and the long gray season from November through March takes a psychological toll that cumulative cold and cloud cover can bring. But there is another side to the climate conversation that is increasingly part of why people move north. The Midwest carries dramatically lower hurricane, flood, and storm-surge risk, and that lower risk is exactly what makes insurance so much more affordable. For a growing number of homeowners, water security, grid stability, and reduced climate exposure are being recognized as tangible financial and lifestyle assets rather than abstract preferences. You give up the beach; you gain predictability and peace of mind during storm season. Remote Work Made the Move Possible One reason this trend has real staying power is that remote work untethered a whole category of people from where their employer sits. A quarter of all paid U.S. workdays are now performed from home, and that flexibility disproportionately benefits higher-income professionals with the freedom to relocate. For those workers, Indiana's affordability is no longer a compromise imposed by circumstance. It is an actionable choice that delivers a lower cost of living without sacrificing income, which is a big part of why cities like Indianapolis are gaining residents rather than losing them. Who the Move Makes Sense For Leaving Florida for Indiana is not the right call for everyone, but it fits a clear set of people. It makes sense for families feeling squeezed by Florida's insurance and housing costs who want predictable monthly expenses and more square footage for their money. It makes sense for remote workers who can carry their income north and pocket the difference in cost of living. And it makes sense for anyone whose calculus has shifted from chasing warm weather to prioritizing financial stability and lower climate risk. If you love the beach lifestyle above all else and the Florida budget still works for you, staying put may be the right answer. But for a growing share of residents, the math and the peace of mind now point north. Photo resource Depositphotos Planning the Move Itself Once you have decided, the logistics matter. A move from Florida to Indiana is a long-distance interstate relocation of roughly 800 to 1,200 miles, which means working with a licensed, FMCSA-registered carrier that handles interstate moves professionally. Costs vary with the size of your household and the season, and planning ahead makes a real difference in both price and experience. Working with experienced Florida to Indiana Movers who run this corridor regularly takes much of the stress out of a move this size, from coordinating the long-haul logistics to handling your belongings with care across state lines. Get your quotes early, declutter before you pack to keep costs down, and give yourself enough runway to plan the transition properly. The bottom line is that the Florida-to-Indiana move, once almost unheard of, has become a rational and increasingly popular choice in 2026. The insurance relief is real, the affordability is substantial, and for the right household, trading palm trees for predictability is a decision that pays off month after month. Run your numbers, weigh the winter honestly, and if the move is right for you, plan it well and head north with confidence. By ML Staff.
