Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

With our horrendously unaffordable housing market (recently ranked as the second-most unaffordable in the world) and criminally good dining scene, saving money in the Harbour City can be pretty darn challenging.

Now, we’ve called on the Time Out community to share their favourite free and cheap ways to stay entertained. Alongside the suggestion to "stay home and sleep", there were some amazing ideas put forward – we thought we’d share some highlights to help you get out and about on a budget.
