Biden got an Oval Office letter from Trump and may leave one in the desk himself. It’d be a first
SUMMARY: The tradition of outgoing U.S. presidents writing letters to their successors began with Ronald Reagan, who left a note for George H.W. Bush in 1989. Each subsequent president continued this tradition, including George H.W. Bush for Bill Clinton, Clinton for George W. Bush, and so on, up to Donald Trump, who wrote a letter to Joe Biden. This letter-writing practice, while not required, reflects bipartisan respect and personal connections. Biden may continue the tradition, though it is unclear. Historically, such letters varied in tone, ranging from congratulations to practical advice, as seen in John Adams’ 1801 note to Thomas Jefferson.

Orlando restaurant owner invites artists to parking lot amid federal fight against street art
SUMMARY: In response to Florida’s decision to paint over street art on public roads, including the rainbow crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub, Orlando’s Se7en Bites restaurant owner Trina Gregory is opening 49 parking spaces for local artists to create vibrant artworks. The event, “Parking Spaces for Pride,” will take place Monday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at 617 N Primrose Drive.

Gregory intends to make this an annual event promoting creativity, diversity, and resilience amidst the state’s restrictions on non-uniform traffic markings.

SUMMARY: In Minneapolis, friends and family gathered to honor 10-year-old Harper Moyski, killed in a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

Her mother, Jackie Flavin, described Harper as “extra in the very best way,” loving dogs and aspiring to be a veterinarian.

A look at recent flooding across South Florida
SUMMARY: South Florida is still recovering from a week of severe flooding that made roads nearly impassable, stalled cars, and forced people to wade through water. In Hollywood, upgraded flood pumps and drainage systems helped subside water levels quickly, preventing damage to homes. However, in North Miami, residents along 141st Street report ongoing issues with backed-up drains and street flooding, which disrupt daily life, including doctor visits. The city claims the flooding is due to long tides rather than clogged drains and asserts the area has been checked. Concerns remain about the area’s vulnerability without further drainage maintenance.
Parts of South Florida are still drying out from the deluge of rain storms last week.
