• Taking a closer look: Reporter talks about soaring golf prices story (naplesnews.com) — Golfers in Naples are facing some of the steepest challenges in the country, with the city having the lowest share of public courses among top U.S. golf markets and prices climbing since 2019. A News-Press sports reporter explains how high demand, more private clubs, and seasonal visitors are driving up costs and what local players are saying about it. 
• From the Archives: Everglades City's touches a reminder of Old Florida (naplesnews.com) — Everglades City’s small-town rituals, like daily meetups at the post office, offer a sharp contrast to the rapid growth seen in nearby Naples and Marco Island. This archival Naples Daily News piece traces the town’s resilience through hurricanes, lost county-seat status, drug busts, and a tourism-driven comeback that still draws visitors from Collier County and beyond.
