Work is starting on $12.1 million renovation of Northbrook Community Center
The planned Northbrook Community Center – formerly the Leisure Center – will create a more modern, welcoming environment intended to connect visitors with nature, according to Joan Scovic, spokeswoman for the Northbrook Park District. Work is starting, as of Aug. 18, on the $12.1 million renovation of the interior and exterior of the building, at 3323 Walters Ave., and will include 'functional and aesthetic upgrades' incorporating biophilic principles, Scovic said. Biophilic style, used by center designer Wight & Company, creates a 'space that connects humans and the environment,' she said. 'Wight & Company's mission is to create impactful and sustainable environments that will empower future generations to thrive,' Scovic said. 'The interior of the building will have a bright and more open layout aimed at fostering social interaction and connection.' Among the interior improvements, Scovic said, are: The exterior will be enhanced with improved directional signage, new windows, an updated facade, and dedicated entrances for Sunshine Preschool and Northbrook Theatre, she said. The biophilic elements will include skylights, more natural-looking features such as curves, and unobstructed exit views, Scovic said. The color palette will include blue, green and earth tones, she said. 'The redesign, conceptualized by Wight & Company, will transform the building into a warm and inviting community center that will inspire patrons to gather, socialize and engage in activities,' said Chris Leiner, executive director of the park district. The former Leisure Center is slated to reopen as the newly-named Community Center in spring 2026. The center provides multigenerational programming, including the preschool, the theater and the senior center. Park Board President Mike Goodman said the overhaul was 'long needed' and he is excited the board agreed to the project. 'This is an important community-centered facility that serves all our residents — from babies to children, adults and seniors — and I am proud of the decision to invest in enhancing the community's enjoyment of the arts and recreation,' he said. The 40,000-square-foot building opened in the 1960s, Scovic said. To help pay for the project, the park district received a $2.8 million grant through the Park and Recreational Facility Construction Act, administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, she said. Scovic said the Leisure Center was the 'central hub' for recreation programs for all ages. The improvements will allow the park district to boost programming options and provide more functional space for staff, she said. Among the upgrades are the overhaul of the theater, its lower-level green room, dressing rooms and costume area, Scovic said.

Florida beach cities ‘ghost towns', local businesses down 30% this summer. Has the Sunshine State lost appeal forever?
With over 825 miles of sandy beaches, Florida's reputation as the perfect summer holiday destination has always been considered unshakeable. But this year, some business owners along the coast say the typical summer boom failed to materialize. "Spring Break, really never happened for us, and then the summer swing, never happened for us," says Kirsten Smail, a marine educator for Dolphin Quest told ABC Action News. 'It's a ghost town,' confirmed Amber Simmons, General Manager at Pirates Pub & Grub. "It's the slowest year we've had since 2020." Angela Wilson from Mad Beach Watersports told reporters business is down as much as 30% for some of her peers. However, from a bird's eye view, the Sunshine State's tourism economy seems as robust as ever. The state welcomed 41.2 million visitors in the first quarter of the year, which is flat from the same quarter last year, according to Visit Florida data. The disconnect between these headline figures and the experience of business owners comes into sharper focus when you zoom in on the changing tourism mix, not just in Florida but across the country. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Changing tourism mix A key factor dragging business for some Gulf Coast tourist destinations is the lack of foreign arrivals — particularly from Canada. Canadian visitors, long a lifeline for Florida's Gulf Coast, are pulling back as diplomatic tensions rise and border crossings plunge. As the Trump administration ramps up its trade war and diplomatic spat, the so-called 'snowbirds' from the north are changing their travel plans. The number of Canadians taking road trips across the U.S. border dropped 37% year-over-year in July, according to Statistics Canada. Air travel was down 26% over the same period. This was the seventh consecutive month of declining tourism from Canada. As a result, U.S. tourism is becoming more domestic. Nearly 92% of arrivals in Florida during the first quarter were U.S. residents, according to Visit Florida. This could be why some spots that rely heavily on Canadian snowbirds and international travelers are seeing a steep decline in business while the headline numbers for the state's visitors remains robust. However, arrivals are only part of the story. Spending is another key factor that could explain why some Florida businesses are facing a dismal summer. Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. Slashed travel budgets As U.S. tourism becomes more domestic, it becomes more sensitive to the domestic economy. Unfortunately, the local economy continues to struggle with persistent inflation and the highest number of layoffs since the pandemic, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. American consumers are spending less on big-ticket travel items - such as airfare and lodging - in the first few months of 2025 compared to the previous year, according to the Bank of America. Nearly 31% of U.S. adults said a combination of their personal financial situation and their gloomy outlook for the national economy is having a negative impact on their travel plans this summer, according to Morning Consult. Squeezed budgets could explain why some beach towns feel like ghost towns even though overall visitor numbers remain strong. What it means for your wallet If you and your family are feeling more optimistic than the average American consumer, this slump could actually be an opportunity. Tourism officials might tout steady visitor numbers statewide, but local businesses in beach towns are hungry for customers — and that usually translates into discounts. Travel experts say to look for package deals on hotels, reduced charter rates for fishing or boat trips, and off-peak pricing for attractions in places like Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, and Panama City. Restaurants and small operators in particular may be more willing to offer promotions or group discounts to lure back business. Another tip: Watch the winter season. December to May is traditionally peak time for Canadian snowbirds, but if cross-border travel remains depressed, that window could suddenly become a bargain season. Travelers with flexible dates might be able to snag cheaper rooms or upgrades that would normally be booked solid. The bottom line: While Florida's big tourism machine may keep humming, pockets of the state are quietly struggling. For savvy travelers, that could translate into savings.
