DAYTONA BEACH SHORES Edwin Peck Sr. was honored at a groundbreaking ceremony for a beachside park that will bear his name, but the 102-year-old real estate developer said the honor was all his. It’s going to be a great park, and I’m happy about the fact that when I’m gone this park will be a place of real pleasure for thousands of people forever, Peck said last week.
Construction on the beachfront park, located at 3167 S. Atlantic Ave., is slated to finish in late 2021. What a day. What a celebration, said Volusia County Councilwoman Billie Wheeler, who represents Daytona Beach Shores. This is my city so I’m really, really proud.

The Michigan restaurant industry is struggling right now. Everyone knows that.

But local community restaurants, especially diners, face additional challenges.
Takeout business is typically a small portion of sales. Gone are bustling tables of regulars meeting up for coffee or weekend get togethers with family and friends.
