But nearly 125 years after it was built, the historic Stranahan House is getting ready to reintroduce itself to modern society just off energetic Las Olas Boulevard with a new face and a more outgoing attitude. With a ceremonial... Read More

Today in history: On Sept. 20, 2017, Hurricane Maria, the strongest storm to hit Puerto Rico in more than 80 years, struck the island, wiping out as much as 75 percent of power distribution lines and causing an island-wide blackout.
