Pig Sty BBQ finds a new home in Boynton Beach
Police host National Night Out on Aug. 5, the city seeks water taxi designs, the Soup Kitchen hits 10 years of Meals on Wheels and Curaleaf opens No. 75.
Pig Sty BBQ has a new home in Boynton Beach. WPBF reported the move on Aug. 3. For a neighborhood restaurant, a move is a big deal. Regulars have to learn a new route. Staff have to set up a new kitchen. Barbecue leans on space, smoke and steady equipment. That makes the shift harder than a simple address change. The main point for fans is short. The restaurant is staying in the city. The next questions are where it lands and when it opens the doors. Until then, the sign out front is the thing to watch. (WPBF)
Boynton Beach police host National Night Out on Aug. 5
Boynton Beach police plan to host their annual National Night Out on Aug. 5. WPBF reported the event on Aug. 3. The night is built around contact between officers and residents. It is one of the few times a year that meeting is planned, not prompted by trouble. Neighbors can ask questions in a calm setting. Officers can hear what a block is worried about. That kind of exchange is hard to schedule any other way. Aug. 5 falls on Wednesday, so the date is close. Residents who want to take part can check with the police department for details. (WPBF)
Boynton Beach is seeking designs for a water taxi service
Boynton Beach wants designs for a water taxi service. The Palm Beach Post reported the request on July 28. The city sits along the Intracoastal Waterway. A taxi service would use that water as a travel route. Boats could carry people the way a bus route does. The idea raises practical questions. Where would boats dock? Who would run them? How often would they sail? None of that is settled. Seeking designs is an early step, not a launch. Still, it shows the city is looking at the water as transportation. Residents should hear more as proposals come in. (Palm Beach Post)
The Boynton Beach Soup Kitchen marks 10 years of Meals on Wheels
The Boynton Beach Soup Kitchen has spent 10 years feeding homebound seniors. WFLX reported the milestone on July 31. The meals go out through Meals on Wheels. Homebound seniors are easy to miss. They do not stand in line. They do not show up at a counter. A delivery route is often the only way food reaches them. Ten years of that work takes drivers, volunteers and steady support. Programs like this usually run quietly in the background. A decade is a fair moment to notice one. The anniversary marks the routine as much as the milestone. (WFLX)
Curaleaf opens its 75th Florida dispensary in Boynton Beach
Curaleaf has opened a dispensary in Boynton Beach. It is the company's 75th location in Florida. Cannabis Business Times reported the opening on July 30. The number is the notable part. Seventy-five stores is a wide footprint for one state. It also points to how large Florida's dispensary market has grown. Boynton Beach is now one dot on that map. For the city, it is one more storefront in use. For the company, it is another step in a statewide build-out. Address, hours and opening details are what shoppers will look for next.

An investment group acquires HarborChase of Boynton Beach
HarborChase of Boynton Beach has a new owner. An investment group acquired the senior living community, citybiz reported on July 30. The property sits in Palm Beach County. Ownership changes matter most to the people who live there. Residents and families tend to ask the same things. Will staff stay? Will costs change? Will daily routines hold? A sale does not answer those questions by itself. It moves the decisions to a new set of owners. Families with a resident there may want to ask directly. The coming months will show what the change means day to day. (citybiz)
