Port Royal makes changes to accommodate growth
PORT ROYAL, S.C. (WSAV) — Officials from the Town of Port Royal said their town is popping up on several travel sites as the 'next place to see and visit.' They said that's leading to a larger number of tourists traveling through and to some folks thinking of making it their permanent home. The town recently made some changes to accommodate the rising number of folks visiting but now they're planning more even for the future. Mayor Kevin Phillips for the Town of Port Royal says they are prepared. 'We know that growth is coming. We know that people are coming and with that brings challenges. But as long as we, I think, try and plan and be proactive instead of reactive, we can really meet those challenges.' Phillips said any town with a motto of 'cool, coastal and far from ordinary' is a special place, so seeing the recent spike in visitors is no surprise. Phillips said last year the town noticed flooding at the entrance to Sands Beach. He said that it was limiting many folks from accessing the beach, so the town invested a lot of money in a project that would help alleviate the issue. 'A lot of really big things are happening. We actually just opened up our new causeway to Sands Beach. We did that on Friday afternoon. It's been going well so far,' said Phillips. Phillips emphasized they have been working hard to keep the town quiet and safe while also accommodating tourists In addition to the revamped Sands Beach entrance, Phillips confirmed they also installed 28 speed bumps on several residential streets to slow down traffic. 'We still are a residential area. Even though we have an urban center, we still have a lot of families, people of all different ages, walking, riding bikes, riding golf carts and scooters,' said Phillips. 'Those roads are shared with trucks. Trucks pulling boats, semi-trucks. So, we just want everybody to slow down and be safe.' Phillips said he anticipates even more traffic and tourism once the port, owned by Safe Harbor, and the town's waterfront is developed. 'The town's got plans to build back our shrimp docks. We're going to bring the Spanish Moss Trail across Ribaut Road, finally bringing the Spanish Moss Trail down into the Port Royal Village, connecting it with Sands Beach,' said Phillips. 'So, the rest of this year and next year is really going to be exciting.' The town has a meeting on Wednesday night where they will have their second vote on the planned unit development (PUD) and planned development agreement with Safe Harbor. Phillips said he believes that will kick-start the development of the port. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

American Airlines Announces Big Change for Winter Travel With Adjustments on Transatlantic Routes
The U.S. airline industry looks very different in 2025 than it did in 2024, and one of the largest changes the industry is seeing this year is a decrease in international travel. Airlines are expected to see a decline in international travel to the U.S. through the rest of 2025, according to research from North Carolina State, with Tourism Economics estimating a 9.4 percent decline in international visitors coming to the U.S. in 2025, led by a 20.2 percent decrease in visitors from Canada. Tourism Economics also predicts a loss of $9 billion in travel spending in 2025 for the U.S., and the World Travel & Tourism Council expects an even larger loss, at $12.5 billion. Some of the biggest areas hit by this change are New York City and Las Vegas, with the Review Journal reporting that Las Vegas hotels and casinos have already started laying off concierge workers. Now, U.S. airlines are having to adjust to this new reality, and American Airlines is making changes to its winter schedule with the expectation that international travel will be down. American Airlines has suspended six transatlantic routes that connect Europe and the United States for the winter season, according to Simple Flying, as the airline makes adjustments to "its network based on lower demand for European routes." Simple Flying sources the aviation analytics company Cirium, which shows that American "will suspend operations on these six routes for at least a month," but they also note that this is "typical for the company's schedules during the winter period." However, as for what's not typical, Simple Flying adds that the "news comes nearly a week after the airline confirmed to Simple Flying that it is adjusting its schedule on three transatlantic routes for the upcoming fall and winter seasons." American, Simple Flying adds, has confirmed to the outlet that "those adjustments are not based on previously reported Boeing 787 delivery delays, but rather on lower demand for these kinds of routes in winter."American Airlines Announces Big Change for Winter Travel With Adjustments on Transatlantic Routes first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 8, 2025

ZBIO FINAL DEADLINE: ROSEN, A GLOBAL AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Zenas BioPharma, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important June 16 Deadline in Securities Class Action First Filed by the Firm
NEW YORK, June 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Zenas BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZBIO) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the 'Registration Statement') issued in connection with Zenas BioPharma's September 2024 initial public offering ('IPO' or the 'Offering'), of the important June 16, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the firm. SO WHAT: If you purchased Zenas BioPharma securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Zenas BioPharma class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 16, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the Registration Statement contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Zenas BioPharma materially overstated the amount of time it would be able to fund its operations using existing cash and expected net proceeds from the IPO; and (2) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times and negligently prepared. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Zenas BioPharma action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising.
