M.M. Cloutier  |  Special to the Daily News During his mid-20th-century Palm Beach heyday, sartorially exuberant Jack Mitchell wasn't hard to spot. Known for his colorful ensembles, he might be spotted wearing a sunny-yellow blazer and violet-hued tie — perhaps while behind the wheel of his Cadillac convertible. As such an outgoing fashion sense might suggest, Mitchell wanted everyone to have a good time during an era remembered on the island as laidback and carefree. And they were indeed promised a good time at the Coral Beach Club that Mitchell built and fostered until the late 1960s. MORE PALM BEACH HISTORY: Oh, my! Many couldn't bare to watch 'Oh!

Neon said Wednesday that it has acquired North American rights to The Royal Hotel , the social thriller that marks the next film from The Assistant writer-director Kitty Green. Her Assistant star Julia Garner will topline the pic alongside Jessica Henwick. Hugo Weaving also stars. The pic, which will start shooting this summer in Australia, hails from See-Saw Films, which most recently produced the Oscar-nominated The Power of the Dog . Inspired by true events, the The Royal Hotel revolves around Hanna (Garner) and Liv (Henwick), best friends backpacking in Australia. After they run out of money, Liv, looking for an adventure, convinces Hanna to take a temporary live-in job behind the bar of a pub called The Royal Hotel in a remote Outback mining town.

City of Madison fields thousands of suggestions, complaints, inputs on upcoming Metro Transit redesign - Channel3000.com - WISC-TV3

While most of the Port City slept, this stretch of town was usually wide awake with crime. Half a decade ago, more than 60% of Wilmington's illegal activity in hotels occurred along a two-mile strip of road here, according to police data. Most happened in just six motels. So bad was it that in December 2015, New Hanover County District Attorney Ben David deemed them "nuisance properties" due to repeated reports of drugs, prostitution, gun violence and general mayhem. Wilmington Police Chief at the time, Ralph Evangelous, joined the legal push.   But these days change feels like it has come to Market Street, developers and locals say, as the historic, messy "backbone of our entire community" continues to evolve in ways hard to predict. It remains a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of street with seedy-looking stretches and strip malls mixed with signs of infill and redevelopment. LED and neon signs flicker in the night. T...

The Commonwealth of the Bahamas, better known simply as the Bahamas, is a chain of islands spread out over 500 miles in the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical and laid-back, these Caribbean islands are a favorite for vacationers because they're easy to reach yet provide an experience far removed from the ordinary, thanks to turquoise waters, warm, salty breezes, and plenty of opportunities to learn how to enjoy life to the fullest from the locals. Freeport on Grand Bahama Island is located just 70 nautical miles off the east coast of Florida, and many Floridians boat there on a regular basis. For everyone else, however, it's just a quick flight away. Plan a trip to the Bahamas for your next getaway and you'll see that you don't have to travel far to feel like you've landed in paradise. © Provided by Travel + Leisure Courtesy of...

Major spoilers ahead for Bridgerton season two. If you haven't watched, turn back now. When I call up Julia Quinn in early March, I had just finished watching season two of Bridgerton. I was bursting to talk to someone about all the swoon-worthy moments in Anthony and Kate's romance, the fall-out between Penelope and Eloise, and Kate and Edwina's sisterhood. We won't spoil anyone, I promise to the romance author at the start of our call, this interview will go up after the premiere. "I'm trusting you," Quinn tells me with a laugh. "I will get in so much trouble." Over the course of our chat, we talk about everything—from her favorite characters to write to the biggest differences between The Viscount Who Loved Me and the hit Netflix show to the joy of a happy ending. Here, Quinn tells Town & Country about all her feelings on Bridgerton season two, from the pall mall scene to the early reveal of Lady Whistledown. On the biggest surpri...
