Edition #4.2025

🌴 This week (Jan. 22 - Jan. 28) in Palm Beach & West Palm Beach

Hey Neighbor!

With so much happening around town, it's easy to get turned around, especially as new buildings keep popping up. But, here’s a fun tip to help you stay on track: if you know your street names, you’ll always know where you are—because downtown West Palm Beach’s East-West streets are in alphabetical order—Banyan, Clematis, Datura, Evernia, Fern, Gardenia, Hibiscus, and Iris. If you’re a local, hopefully you already knew that… If you didn’t know that, well, now you do. 🤷 

Speaking of street names, have you ever wondered what happened to the "A" street that used to be on the north side of Banyan? Althea Street, which it was called, was renamed to Second Street in the 1920s. So, there is no “A” street today…

  • 🎨 Jaw-dropping art

  • ⛳️ Tee time

  • 🚲️ Bike-friendly future?
