​The St. Johns River is one of Florida's natural wonders with an unsurpassed beauty like no other in our state. For generations the river has captivated hearts of those who have visited our state and is a constant reminder of authentic Florida to those who live here. Some of the earliest records of the River were recorded by William Bartram, early American naturalist and explorer. Even when traveling on the river today, it feels like stepping back in time to Florida's rugged past when Native Americans roamed the banks and you would hear the distant cry of a wolf or panther after dark. 

​The Downtown DeLand area is full of unique businesses that gives the area character and charm that is like no where else. They each tell a story that is part of a greater story in our area. Many of the businesses are visible when you walk down Woodland Blvd. However, there are many businesses that you will not see a store front. Sometimes, those are the businesses with the best stories, and they are told through their products or craft. 

The internet offers many different platforms for folks to make extra money. Thanks to Uber, you can start your own "taxi-like" business to transport people in your neighborhood or city. Users can work when they want and accept business as it comes. Likewise, Airbnb is to your home, as Uber is to your car. ​

​Living in Florida has many benefits. Our climate and beaches are a few of the top reasons why many call Florida home. However, if you are an allergy sufferer, it can sometimes make life frustrating, especially when you want to enjoy the outdoors. Sometimes, our own homes can be the source of many problems for allergy sufferers.
