Discover Florida’s Hidden Gems: Three Cities Ranked Among the Best to Live
Three Florida cities have earned spots in Livability's "Top 100 Best Places to Live in the U.S.," praised for their transportation, economy, and overall quality of life. Gainesville, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale each showcase distinct advantages that contributed to their high rankings.
Gainesville, at number 94, is celebrated as a vibrant college town focused around the University of Florida, offering a rich blend of educational opportunities, affordable living, and leisure activities, achieving a LivScore of 698. Its robust transportation system enhances its appeal among students and residents alike.
Tampa, ranked 96th, attracts young professionals with its strong economic prospects in IT and life sciences, alongside a thriving cultural scene that includes waterfront parks, museums, and a popular riverwalk. Its LivScore of 697 reflects its high-quality amenities and dynamic job market.
Fort Lauderdale, positioned at 99th, is known as the "Venice of America," noted for its efficient rail and water taxi services. With a LivScore of 692, the city boasts low taxes and a strong economy, emphasizing its appealing beaches and diverse neighborhoods.
These cities highlight Florida's capacity to offer diverse and attractive living options, positioning them prominently on the national livability scale.
Sweet Scare: THC-Laced Candy Sickens Tampa Schoolkids
At New Springs Charter School in Tampa, eleven students aged between 9 and 11 fell ill after consuming candy suspected to contain THC.
The incident occurred around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday when staff discovered the students exhibiting symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and numbness. The candies, resembling Nerds and potentially laced with Delta-9 THC, were found in an unmarked clear container.
While three students were hospitalized as a precaution, none suffered serious injuries. Police are investigating, suspecting a student might have brought the candy to school, though the exact source remains unknown.

UK Study Reveals Sharp Increase in Dental Injuries Due to E-Scooters
A study from the British Dental Journal highlights a concerning rise in dental injuries linked to electric scooters across the UK from 2020 to 2022. These injuries not only impact physical appearance but can also lead to severe complications like pulpal necrosis and root resorption.
The popularity of e-scooters surged following a government trial in June 2020 aimed at easing urban traffic and pollution. Yet, this increase in usage has coincided with a spike in reports of facial and dental injuries, with little detailed information on the specific dental issues arising from these incidents.
The research involved detailed analysis of patient data from The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, focusing on demographics, injury patterns, and dental treatments from September 2020 to September 2022.
The findings revealed that the majority of the 32 adults who sustained injuries were male, with unprovoked falls being the most common cause of these accidents. Moreover, a significant number of these incidents involved intoxicated individuals, exacerbating the severity of the injuries.
The study’s alarming statistics show a low helmet usage rate and a high occurrence of serious dental and brain injuries, highlighting the urgent need for greater public awareness and stricter safety measures for e-scooter users.
