What Today (Wednesday, Aug. 12) Is All About
Today is National Middle Child Day, a little extra spotlight for the siblings who know what it’s like to be right in the middle. Whether they’re the family peacekeeper, the independent one, the comedian, or secretly the one causing all the trouble, today is their day. Give the middle child in your family some extra love and let them know they’re anything but forgotten. 💚
Perseids Peak Tonight — Redland's Dark Skies Offer a Front-Row Seat
Tonight marks the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, one of the most reliable and active showers of the year, with dozens of meteors visible per hour under clear, dark skies. With a new moon keeping skies dark this year, conditions are especially favorable. South Dade's rural stretches — away from the city lights of downtown Miami — are a solid local option for catching the show; give your eyes about 20-30 minutes to adjust to the dark for the best view.
🕑 Time: After 10:00 p.m.

El Palacio de los Jugos Is Planning a Homestead Location
Homestead could soon be getting an El Palacio de los Jugos at the former Pizza Hut at 25 N. Homestead Blvd. The popular Miami Cuban cafeteria and juice spot lists the address among its locations, while city plans show a 2,747-square-foot restaurant redevelopment moving through the review process. If completed, it would bring breakfast, tropical juices, hot meals, catering, and potentially new jobs to a busy stretch of US-1 between downtown Homestead and Florida City. It is not open yet, so hold off on making the trip until an official opening date is announced.
📍 Location: 25 N. Homestead Blvd., Homestead, FL 33030
