Gulf County celebrates centennial birthday
GULF COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Florida's State Constitution was signed in Port St. Joe in 1838. But Gulf County wasn't officially recognized until June 6, 1925. That makes Friday, June 6, 2025, Gulf County's 100th anniversary. Gulf County tourism officials have been celebrating the milestone all week. Friday, the main event was held at the Veterans Memorial Park in Port St. Joe, with live music beginning at 4 p.m. There were food and art vendors, and a fireworks show closed out the night. 'Gulf County is so good at coming together in tragedy, and when hardship happens and things like that. But coming together to celebrate something so special, I think is just, it's incredible. And I'm honored to be a part of it,' said Gulf County Tourism Director Silvia Williams. 'So I was actually born and raised here in Port St. Joe, part of Gulf County. This has always been home for me, both of my parents were born and raised here as well. At the end of the day, it's the people, you know, it really has just, in my opinion, you know, the greatest people in the world live here,' Gulf County Chamber of Commerce Board Chairman Aaron Little said. The festivities continue Saturday, June 7, in Wewahitchka for their historical festival in celebration of their 150th birthday. The event is from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Charles Whitehead Public Library and is free to the public. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

6 Apple TV+ shows that are so good, I wish I could enjoy them for the first time all over again
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. There's a particular kind of magic that only comes with a first watch of a TV series — the sort of thing that makes you gasp at a twist you didn't see coming, get emotionally invested in a story and its characters, and whisks you away someplace else thanks to the visual magic of the medium. I've actually thought about this a lot while watching Apple TV+. It's no secret that Apple doesn't release as much content as most of the other streamers, but whenever Apple does get it right the result is often unforgettable. On that score, I've rounded up six Apple TV+ series below that are honestly so good, I wish I could erase them from memory just so I could experience them again for the first time. They range from heartwarming comedy to spy adventures and prestige drama that's as good as anything Hollywood has done in years. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 Bright, joyful, and full of heart, Acapulco has loads of How I Met Your Mother/The Wonder Years energy, thanks to narration by an older version of the show's main character — Maximo Gallardo, who as a young man in 1984 lands his dream job at the Las Colinas beach resort in Acapulco. The coming-of-age story unfolds with such a deft balance of charm and depth that by the end of each episode, you're either grinning or teary-eyed — and many times, both. The pastel-colored aesthetic and overall wholesome introduction to Mexico's culture certainly made me want to dig out my passport for that first visit to Mexico I keep planning. It somehow feels like underselling this next Apple TV+ standout by describing it as a mere TV show. Drops of God is a feast for the senses disguised as a family drama — sort of like a wine industry version of Succession. At the center of it all is a globe-spanning narrative stemming from the death of a wine expert who sets up a series of tests in order to determine who will inherit his estate: Will it be his estranged daughter, or his prized pupil? The series is tense, beautiful, and quietly devastating. And befitting its subject, the cinematography here is as intoxicating as an aged Bourdeaux. This dreamy adaptation of Min Jin Lee's award-winning novel is, without question, one of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen on television. It begins in Japanese-occupied Korea and follows Sunja, a young woman whose decisions echo across generations, as her family migrates to Japan and struggles to carve out a life amid war, discrimination, and dislocation. The title refers to the Japanese gambling game — one the family eventually turns into a livelihood — but it's also a haunting metaphor for the randomness of life, the slim odds of success, and the quiet resilience of those determined to endure. Here again, this is an Apple TV+ show that's on par with cinema. The visuals, the acting, and the storytelling in Pachinko are each breathtaking in their own right. Watching the show, dare I say, might even change you, not unlike the way traveling outside one's home country for the first time makes a profound impression on you. This next one broke the internet just a few months ago, with its jaw-dropping and supremely addictive second season. The premise behind Severance sounds simple: What if you could split your work and personal memories into two separate lives? The execution ended up being a masterclass in slow-burn tension, eerie world-building, and existential dread. Severance is actually so good, it's now the most-watched Apple TV+ series of all time, according to the streamer, and I envy anyone discovering this puzzle box for the very first time. It's rare for a spy thriller to be both razor-sharp and grimy, but Slow Horses pulls off that quirky balancing act thanks in large part to Gary Oldman's glorious mess of a lead performance. The show also pulls off a neat trick — it turns the espionage genre on its head by focusing on a team of MI5 outcasts rather than more competent secret agents with movie star good looks. The resulting story somehow makes these characters' loser status feel both hilarious and heroic. This is basically espionage with a hangover. It's messy and unpredictable. In a genre obsessed with perfection, Slow Horses makes failure look like a superpower. From its opening moments, Tehran grabs you and doesn't let go. This tightly-wound espionage thriller follows Tamar, a Mossad hacker sent undercover in Iran's capital, where one wrong move could mean the end — not just for her mission, but for her life. What makes the show stand out isn't just the cat-and-mouse plotting, but the emotional depth running beneath every decision Tamar makes. It's a story about identity, loyalty, and the psychological cost of living a lie. The upcoming third season has me especially excited — not just because Tehran raised its game significantly in Season 2, but also thanks to the arrival of Hugh Laurie, who joins the cast as a nuclear plant supervisor. When spy thrillers are done right, avoiding tired tropes and leaning into sharp writing and believable tradecraft, they're among my favorite kinds of shows to stream. And Tehran delivers so strongly, fans of The Bureau and The Americans will feel right at home here. With a lead actress who commands every scene and a constant undercurrent of tension, double-crosses, and moral ambiguity, Tehran stays a step ahead at every turn.
