Good morning, Daytona Beach.
143 children from the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida visited Universal Orlando’s new Epic Universe theme park ahead of its official opening on May 22; the preview let them ride games and see fun new worlds—Club CEO Jamie Merrill said the day gave them a chance to learn about new opportunities.
Linkin Park, Green Day, and Korn will perform at Daytona International Speedway as more than 150 bands take the stage at the four-day Welcome to Rockville festival from May 15 to 18 + organizers also promise carnival rides, a wine garden and plenty of food for fans.
Bank of America Lending Market Leader John Javier explained on the 'Black Men Sundays' podcast that homebuyers in Central Florida can protect themselves from steep property tax hikes by declaring their homes as primary residences — a safeguard not available for second homes.
He added that the current market now favors buyers since properties take longer to sell with fewer cash investors, giving regular homeowners a better chance to compete.
