  • Flooded Streets, Big Boats, and a Busy Lauderdale

    Flooded Streets, Big Boats, and a Busy Lauderdale
    30 Oct 2026
    Why are Fort Lauderdale streets flooding when we’ve already invested in pumps and drainage? That’s where I’m starting this week’s local roundup, because the answer says a lot about living in a city surrounded by water. I’m Uncle Marv, your Fort Lauderdale neighbor and host, taking a look at the king tides affecting Broward and why even working pumps have their limits. Then I’m heading over to Port Everglades, where the conversation goes beyond cruise vacations to fuel deliveries and the people who keep those ships moving.There’s plenty happening on dry land, too. I’m sharing highlights from the Seafarers’ House Golden Compass Gala, a glass-filled Enchanted Garden in Hollywood, the boat show, and a North Beach block party that gives you a reason to stick around the neighborhood. Here’s what caught my attention, what it means for those of us who live here, and what might deserve a spot on your calendar.=== Local news storiesFort Lauderdale King Tides and Roadway Flooding: City of Fort Lauderdale: King Tide UpdatePort Everglades Receives $30.75 Million Federal Grant: Port Everglades: Federal Infrastructure GrantPort Everglades Sets Another Cruise Passenger Record: Port Everglades: Cruise Season Record=== Community eventsFort Lauderdale International Boat Show: Official Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show WebsiteWMODA Enchanted Garden Opening: Wiener Museum of Decorative ArtsSonic Live in Concert: Broward Center for the Performing ArtsNoBe Sunday Block Party: City of Fort Lauderdale: NoBe Sunday Block PartyArt + Stroll: Business for the Arts Broward: Art + Stroll=== Special featureSeafarers' House 30th Annual Golden Compass Award Gala: Seafarers' House: 2026 Golden Compass Gala=== Chapters00:45 King Tides and Flooded Streets03:34 Seafarers’ House and the Golden Compass Gala05:26 Port Everglades’ Fuel Infrastructure Investment08:11 Cruise Growth and Local Impact11:01 WMODA’s Enchanted Garden13:01 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show14:40 Sonic Live at the Broward Center16:47 NoBe Sunday Block Party18:46 Art + Stroll Comes Downtown=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATETitle: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5Website: https://www.letstalklauderdale.com/Let’s Talk Lauderdale is hosted by Marvin Bee & Jen Stewart.Subscribe for more behind-the-scenes Lauderdale stories and pass this episode along—because every Fort Lauderdale memory deserves an audience.

  • Why Some South Florida Homes Sell and Others Sit

    Why Some South Florida Homes Sell and Others Sit
    28 Oct 2026
    Fifty-two showings. Six months of searching. One family trying to find a home in Parkland. I asked Teresa Schwarz what made that transaction so memorable, and the answer went well beyond finally getting an offer accepted. Teresa is the broker and owner of Lyfe Realty Group, and her South Florida roots go back to growing up in Oakland Park. That long house hunt started with dinner at Brio in Pembroke Gardens and turned into a relationship that would eventually help her own daughter. We also talk about why some local homes are moving while others sit, what buyers should understand about AI-enhanced listing photos, and how she helped a Pembroke Pines homeowner prepare to leave a house full of memories. Teresa shares what she’s seeing in her business, but she’s just as open about the frightening timing of her husband leaving nursing to join her right before COVID hit. It’s an honest look at the people behind the properties and what it takes to help somebody call South Florida home.=== Chapters00:13 Meet Teresa Schwarz of Lyfe Realty Group01:19 Growing Up in Oakland Park03:16 From Optical to Real Estate06:10 How AI Is Changing the Business12:15 Listing Photos, AI Staging, and Seller Prep16:00 Single-Family Homes vs. Condos18:12 Marketing Homes and Finding Financing Options20:52 Building Lyfe Realty Group23:44 Working With Her Husband and Life Outside Work28:07 A Parkland Home After 52 Showings31:14 Where to Find Teresa and Lyfe Realty Group=== Guest: Teresa Schwarz, Lyfe Realty Group, Broker / OwnerWebsite: https://lyferealty.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresaschwarzlyferealtygroupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lyfe_realty_group === Local Businesses / Organizations / NonprofitsGold Coast Schools: https://goldcoastschools.com/Nova High School: https://novahigh.browardschools.com/Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School: https://hmltrojans.org/Miami Dade College: https://www.mdc.edu/Florida International University: https://www.fiu.edu/Memorial Healthcare System: https://www.mhs.net/Regions Bank: https://www.regions.com/Sun Sentinel: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/Miami Heat: https://www.nba.com/heat/Miami Hurricanes: https://miamihurricanes.com/=== Events / Attractions / VenuesThe Shops at Pembroke Gardens: https://www.pembrokegardens.com/Brio Italian Grille, Pembroke Pines: https://www.brioitalian.com/locations/pembroke-pines/=== Vote for your favorites for the "Best Of" in everything that makes South Florida greatSouth Florida Favorites: https://www.shopsouthfloridafavorites.com/South Florida Favorites voting: https://votesouthflorida.com/=== MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATETitle: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5Website: https://www.letstalklauderdale.com/Let’s Talk Lauderdale is hosted by Marvin Bee & Jen Stewart.Subscribe for more behind-the-scenes Lauderdale stories and pass this episode along—because every Fort Lauderdale memory deserves an audience.

  • Can Himmarshee Stay Fun and Get Safer?

    Can Himmarshee Stay Fun and Get Safer?
    23 Oct 2026

    What happens when downtown nightlife, public safety, and local livelihoods all meet on the same block? I’m taking a look at the debate over Himmarshee and why the next move matters to more than the people heading out for a late-night drink.

    I’m also talking about Broward Animal Care’s crowded shelter, Fort Lauderdale’s approximately $660 million investment in drinking water, and a weekend with plenty of reasons to leave the house. From the museum’s culinary celebration to Hollyweird and Diwali by the beach, there’s a lot happening in our backyard.
