Where to eat? Downtown Jensen Beach teems with eclectic mix of restaurants

Downtown Jensen Beach is the center of the coastal town known for its Atlantic Ocean and Indian River Lagoon views, beaches, restaurants, shops and art galleries. It has a Caribbean feel, partly due to the brightly colored, tin-roofed Art Cottages that have been converted into artists' studios and galleries.

Stories of Strength: Powerful Depictions of Cancer on Television

Depictions of cancer on television have not always been the most accurate portrayals in the past.


Luckily, the tides have turned due to writers using experts as reference points to ensure characters diagnosed with cancer have genuine storylines with correct medical details in the fictional cancer narrative.


Not only is it dangerous to spread false narratives, but disseminating valuable information and raising awareness is vital.

Not all specialists agree that TV portrayals of cancer ar...

Best lunch restaurants on the Treasure Coast? Here are 27 on our long list of favorites

As late as 1755, English writer Samuel Johnson's dictionary definition of "lunch" was "as much food as one's hand can hold," which simply means it's a sort of snack you can have any time of day.

Around 1850, lunch became a regular fixture as a meal.

During the Revolutionary War, British nobleman John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, popularized the popular handheld lunch option, which we celebrate on National Sandwich Day — Nov. 3 every year.

mxdwn Interview: Dustin Kensrue on his latest album, touring and inspirations behind the music -

Dustin Kensrue is notorious for being the frontman for Thrice, but his solo work is to be just as appreciated. Over the years, he has created two different spaces for his talent to flourish and they couldn’t be more different.

Kensrue’s goal for his latest album, Desert Dreaming, was to make an album with a varied palate, and he certainly hit the mark with this rich record. Throughout it, that classic Southern country instrumentation teems along with the sounds of the Southwest and those of the...

The Age of the Renewed Limited Series: Is Network Execs' Fear of Commitment Bad For TV?

The concept of the limited series swept the TV world recently, and it felt like it happened overnight.

It is not an entirely new idea, as miniseries have existed since the time of radio dramas.

However, people lost interest in them at some point, and the era seemed to come to an end.

So much so that in 1991, the Emmy Awards merged Outstanding Miniseries with Outstanding TV Movie.

After numerous name changes to the category, the concept suddenly resurged -- the limited series was born.

Abbott Elementary Season 4: Cast & Character Guide

The cast of Abbott Elementary has been working hard at Willard R. Abbott Elementary, but no one more than second-grade teacher Janine Teagues.

The main cast has remained mostly the same since the comedy's inception.

Quinta Brunson stepped in a different light as we saw her work in her new role as a temporary fellowship in the school district.

This gave Season 3 a little twist, following her trying to adjust to bureaucracy and her co-workers' happenings.

The cast brings mightier humor to our

When Going Off the Rails Makes Excellent TV

When you think about shows that have gone off the rails, Riverdale, Dexter, Game of Thrones, How I Met Your Mother, or Glee usually come to mind.

The majority of the time, it isn't enjoyable. The digression can make for poor television.

However, there are certain cases where it makes TV gold.

Keeping an audience interested and on the edge of their seats can be challenging.

We want to be enthralled, but that comes with the fact that doing this means changing plots, characters, or many other f

Vanderpump Rules' Post-Scandoval Season Was a Mess: Is It Time to End the Series?

Vanderpump Rules has given us over a decade of pure entertainment at its absolute finest. There is no argument there.

However, Vanderpump Rules Season 11 has left fans wondering if it is time to end the show.

It's a loaded question, no doubt about that. There are arguments for both sides.

Wasn't it the beginning of the end when Kristen and Stassi got kicked off, and the final page turned with Jax's exit? I mean, it was his show, right?

The show has gone downhill since the SUR servers and bar

Carrie Preston's Long and Enjoyable Road to Lead Lady

Carrie Preston is an acclaimed actress, producer, and director. She has a long list of roles and projects but is most known for her roles as Arlene Fowler in the HBO drama True Blood and Elsbeth Tascioni in the CBS drama The Good Wife.

She won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her work on The Good Wife.

After The Good Wife, she played the same character in the Paramount+ spinoff, The Good Flight.

Now, with the expanding multiverse of The Good Wife, Preston has

How Important is a Showrunner to a Series?

Showrunners are the creative visionaries of a series.

They might not be the original creators, but they cover all aspects of the creative elements, evolve the show's vision, and decide where the story and character arcs will go.

They run the writing rooms, head the development, hire writers, and ensure actors are kept happy and that the budget is not exceeded.

Series are usually a collective effort, with writers giving their thoughts, but showrunners have the final say and are essential.

It's Time to Give Up on Euphoria Season 3, and That's OK

When Euphoria first aired, it set a new bar for teen dramas. Its cast is a mix of so many different characters with unique story storylines and personal struggles.

Each gave fans a different window into realities or a mirror to connect with.

It discusses addiction, sexual exploration, sexuality, domestic abuse, body image, first loves, heartbreaks, the ups and downs of friendships, and so much more.

The show has been awarded nine Emmys for its first two seasons, which is not an easy feat, and

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's Return to Jersey Shore Raises Questions About Safety and Abuse In the World of Reality TV

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro first experienced fame in 2009 when the original Jersey Shore reality TV show swept the nation.

The chosen cast members living in a shared house in Seaside Heights introduced fans to the GTL lifestyle that is now engrained in pop culture history.

MTV hit the nail on the head with the entertainment from Jersey Shore.

It was raunchy, "ratchet," and full of drama.

It turned away from the classy mold of a high-end reality series and focused on a group of Guido friends that cap

The Shows That Best Depict Being a Gen-Z Teenager

Life as a teenager has drastically changed since technology's inception and the evolution of world views.

I am, admittedly, on the older side of Gen-Z. I only recently realized I was not technically a millennial, having been born in 1997.

This is mainly because being in high school for me (2012-2016) is worlds away from what being in high school looks like now.

It feels like the world switched right after I graduated high school, and I have experienced both the older and the younger side of t

Lifetime True Crime Movies That Hit the Mark

Lifetime is known for its original 'Ripped From the Headlines' movies that retell the events that grip the nation and even the world.

If you have ever seen one, you know it can be challenging to get over the low-budget production and corny writing, but that's part of their addiction.

They tend to get filmed quickly, air quickly, and hire people looking to make a breakthrough acting debut.

However, the astonishing cases they feature are the ones that had a stranglehold over the media for their

What Happened to the Family Drama and What Does It Say About our Culture?

One thing is clear from a quick scroll through a cable TV guide or paying attention to the featured show commercials—the scarcity of family dramas.

Once that point is brought up, it's hard not to wonder what that says about our culture and society as a whole.

There was a time when families sat down and watched TV together.

Some of my fondest memories include watching Friday Night Lights and Gilmore Girls with my parents.

However, nowadays, the idea is becoming a foreign concept if the kids a

Grey's Anatomy's Strangest, But Real, Medical Cases

There are many episodes to pick from when discussing the most surprising medical cases aired on Grey's Anatomy since its debut in 2005.

The fact that they can still even shock the audience after all this time is a testament to the writers, producers, and cast.

Even if these cases aren't dealt with at your local hospital or have happened more than once, the scariest part may be that they are generally based on real-world people and events.

Whether they are ranked for their rarity, uneasiness,

All American Does These Things Better Than Friday Night Lights

It's almost hard to believe that Friday Night Lights premiered in 2006. Its "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" attitude will forever be a staple.

That said, there is no denying that All American has a way of doing things better than its predecessor.

All American is based on the real-life experiences of football player Spencer Paysinger, focusing on two different schools, South Crenshaw and Beverly High School, their students, families, and communities.

We tend to think that money brings ha

Found Season 2: Release Date, Cast, Trailer & Everything We Know

NBC's procedural show Found stars Shanola Hampton, a series producer, a kick-butt public relations specialist turned vigilantly, Gabi Mosely. Gabi and her team have made it their mission to help the missing people who don't attract the media's attention.

The team mainly focuses on people of color and others who face bias for their ethnicity, sexual orientation, and lifestyle choices, among other things that tend to lead them to slip through the cracks of the Washington, D.C., police department.

The Runarounds: Will the Outer Banks Team Create Similar Magic for Prime Video?

With Prime Video ordering the new series titled The Runarounds comes the palpable idea of a serious music-natured teen drama hit.

mxdwn Interview: Infected Rain's Lena Scissorhands Discusses Latest Album, Band's Lineup Change, Lyrical Inspiration and Upcoming Tour -

Infected Rain’s latest album, TIME, is a musical journey that entails progressive and nu-metal sounds as well as seemingly heavier electronic elements that act as a second guitar to help guide the listener through each song. It even features a sitar and seemingly Middle Eastern-sounding elements that speak to Lena’s childhood. It hits hard when it needs to, while still containing some delicate aspects, and Lena Scissorhands’ (Elena Cataraga) voice truly shines during both.

Grunge Most Defining Albums Nevermind and Badmotorfinger Turn 30

Nirvana shirts can still be seen walking around.

Nevermind and Badmotorfinger have even shaped Gen Zers born several years after their releases, along with the millennials who loved and accepted them.

TV Characters Defined by Their Sense of Humor

It can be difficult to stand out as a character known for your sense of humor, given the fact that everyone has a different idea of what is funny.


There is your standard comedian who can tell a joke and think on their feet. Other times, the comedy comes from a certain type of stupidity where it is so dumb it is funny.


Some thrive because of their dry sense of humor or cynicism, and physical, witty, observational, self-deprecating, sarcastic, and satirical humor all have homes, too.

The Age of the Renewed Limited Series: Is Network Execs' Fear of Commitment Bad For TV?

The concept of the limited series swept the TV world recently, and it felt like it happened overnight.

It is not an entirely new idea, as miniseries have existed since the time of radio dramas.

However, people lost interest in them at some point, and the era seemed to come to an end.

So much so that in 1991, the Emmy Awards merged Outstanding Miniseries with Outstanding TV Movie.

After numerous name changes to the category, the concept suddenly resurged -- the limited series was born.

Abbott Elementary Season 4: Cast & Character Guide

The cast of Abbott Elementary has been working hard at Willard R. Abbott Elementary, but no one more than second-grade teacher Janine Teagues.

The main cast has remained mostly the same since the comedy's inception.

Quinta Brunson stepped in a different light as we saw her work in her new role as a temporary fellowship in the school district.

This gave Season 3 a little twist, following her trying to adjust to bureaucracy and her co-workers' happenings.

When Going Off the Rails Makes Excellent TV

When you think about shows that have gone off the rails, Riverdale, Dexter, Game of Thrones, How I Met Your Mother, or Glee usually come to mind.

The majority of the time, it isn't enjoyable. The digression can make for poor television.

However, there are certain cases where it makes TV gold.

Keeping an audience interested and on the edge of their seats can be challenging.

We want to be enthralled, but that comes with the fact that doing this means changing plots, characters, or many other f

It's a loaded question, no doubt about that. There are arguments for both sides.

Wasn't it the beginning of the end when Kristen and Stassi got kicked off, and the final page turned with Jax's exit? I mean, it was his show, right?

How Important is a Showrunner to a Series?

Showrunners are the creative visionaries of a series.

They might not be the original creators, but they cover all aspects of the creative elements, evolve the show's vision, and decide where the story and character arcs will go.

They run the writing rooms, head the development, hire writers, and ensure actors are kept happy and that the budget is not exceeded.

Series are usually a collective effort, with writers giving their thoughts, but showrunners have the final say and are essential.

The Shows That Best Depict Being a Gen-Z Teenager

Life as a teenager has drastically changed since technology's inception and the evolution of world views.

I am, admittedly, on the older side of Gen-Z. I only recently realized I was not technically a millennial, having been born in 1997.

This is mainly because being in high school for me (2012-2016) is worlds away from what being in high school looks like now.

It feels like the world switched right after I graduated high school, and I have experienced both the older and the younger side of t

What Happened to the Family Drama and What Does It Say About our Culture?

One thing is clear from a quick scroll through a cable TV guide or paying attention to the featured show commercials—the scarcity of family dramas.

Once that point is brought up, it's hard not to wonder what that says about our culture and society as a whole.

There was a time when families sat down and watched TV together.

Some of my fondest memories include watching Friday Night Lights and Gilmore Girls with my parents.

However, nowadays, the idea is becoming a foreign concept if the kids a

Grey's Anatomy's Strangest, But Real, Medical Cases

The fact that they can still even shock the audience after all this time is a testament to the writers, producers, and cast.

Whether they are ranked for their rarity, uneasiness,

All American Does These Things Better Than Friday Night Lights

That said, there is no denying that All American has a way of doing things better than its predecessor.

All American is based on the real-life experiences of football player Spencer Paysinger, focusing on two different schools, South Crenshaw and Beverly High School, their students, families, and communities.
