Get The Coast— Okaloosa County commissioners have directed staff to continue exploring a paid parking program for select beaches, parks, and boat ramps, with a proposal that would keep parking free for county residents while charging visitors.

Someone Razored The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

CBS News— Federal officials say newly disclosed evidence suggests at least some of the damage to the recently renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was intentional. According to a National Park Service court filing, workers found a foam seal cut with a sharp blade and about 70 fence-post caps thrown into the water, lending support to President Trump's earlier claims that vandals were responsible for the damage. The $14.7 million renovation has also been plagued by algae growth, and officials plan to drain the pool and begin repairs after the Fourth of July. Authorities have arrested five people in connection with the alleged vandalism, issued federal citations to five others, and say the investigation remains ongoing.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Forgiveness Day

Forgiveness Day is that annual civic cleanup where we all pretend our grudges are just clutter and not a personality trait. You call the cousin you haven’t spoken to since the Great Potato Salad Incident, you “let go” of the thing you bring up at every barbecue, and you slap a fresh coat of virtue on the same old cracks like it’s home improvement. It’s not about being holy; it’s about being tired, and realizing revenge is expensive and therapy has a waiting list. So take the hint, unclench your jaw, and make your amends now—because tomorrow you’ll be back to collecting petty like it’s a retirement plan.
