Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• What's Happening in Naples, Florida This Weekend: September 25–27, 2026 (suncoastpost.com) — This weekend in Naples, you can catch free Naples Philharmonic chamber music at Artis—Naples, explore family programs at Naples Botanical Garden, and cheer on FC Naples at Paradise Coast Sports Complex. Add in Sizzle Dining restaurant deals, a community yard sale at Vineyards Community Park, and relaxed time downtown, and there's plenty for locals to enjoy close to home.
• Billionaires in Forbes 400 – SW Florida, including Marco, represented (coralspringsflnews.com) — Several Naples residents, including Shahid Khan, Tom Golisano, Reinhold Schmieding, Scott Kapnick and Richard Schulze, have again secured spots on the Forbes 400 list, underscoring the city's concentration of wealth. The story also highlights other Naples and Marco Island billionaires, local companies like Arthrex, and high‑profile events such as the Naples Winter Wine Festival at the Ritz‑Carlton Naples.
• In the deep end: SWFL homeowners face financial ruin over unfinished pool projects (winknews.com) — Homeowners across Southwest Florida, including one case tied to a Naples property, say they've lost tens of thousands of dollars to unfinished pool projects linked to Modern Lux Pools and former project director Joseph Valdes. Residents describe abandoned permits, damaged yards, and exposed home foundations while state regulators and police investigate complaints and a separate criminal case against Valdes continues in Broward County.
