 You can only go through your email inbox and binge Tiger King so many times before you go stir crazy! While in isolation at their homes, many Americans are turning to home improvement projects. Lets face it, those projects are long overdue, and many now have the time to do them.
 Some who are used to eating in Downtown DeLand might be feeling a little lost these days. The main reason why so many love dining in this lovely setting is the community. Although we might not be able to have the same experience as dining in public, some of these local establishments have pivoted to offer some pretty great takeout options and service.
 With all of the quarantining and social distancing going, it's easy to get swept up in the negative news. For some DeLand residents, here is some really good news...ALDI is open for business!!!
 Note: Please follow governmental guidelines and stay up to date with rules, recommendations, and changes from officials.
With the recent threat of Covid-19 changing the way most of us do life these days, social distancing has become the norm. With school being closed through April 15 at least, many families are looking to outdoor activities that give plenty of space and fresh air to breathe.  One thing that golfers would love nothing more is to introduce their friends and loved ones to the game they love. A great way to do that is through a Topgolf entertainment center. Topgolf is a glorified driving range that is geared toward golfers and non-golfers. There is hope that those of us in Volusia County can do our best “Happy Gilmore” impression and crush golf balls in Daytona Beach in the not so distant future.
 In case you missed it, the Volusia County Sheriff's Department was on A&E's Live PD. The show, which features live video feeds of law enforcement on the job while host Dan Abrams and analyst Tom Morris Jr. provide commentary. The show featured VCSO deputies during the episodes on March 6, 7, 13 and 14.
 “I like it here with you and Linda.”
“And we love having you. When are you leaving?” Have you ever had a similar conversation with friends or family after a visit? If so, you will soon have an opportunity to offer another comfortable accommodation for your guests… one where they can enjoy the amenities and stay out of yours!  The Downtown DeLand Dog Parade was Saturday, February 22, and it was a spectacle as always. The Krewe of Amalee who hosts the parade, always exceeds expectations and raises the bar year after year.
 It's open! Barbecue lovers and 4 Rivers fans in Volusia County can rejoice! The beloved barbecue chain opened its latest location at Daytona Beach's One Daytona, across from the Daytona International Speedway.
 Picture of the St. Francis Hotel that once stood on the banks of the St.John's River, west of DeLand. After several minutes of wandering down the trail off CR 42, east of DeLand on the Lake County side of the river, the cars that can be heard fade into the distance. Slowly, another world begins to emerge. This world of Old Florida was lost in time due to the advances of society, but traces remain of what was once a bustling society.
