A motorcyclist pushes through flooding on River Road in San Marco.

Recent flooding has a local restaurant ready to move away from the St. Johns River.

Owners of Pink Salt are leaving their current San Marco location for higher ground.

To talk more about why some businesses are moving, Dr. Quint White of JU’s Marine Science Research Institute joined us in the studio.

We also spoke to Adam Kamins, director of regional economics at Moody's Analytics and author of a recent study on climate risks in the United States.

Maternal Mental Health Month

May is Maternal Mental Health Month. New mothers are so focused on their newborns' health that they sometimes neglect their own. This includes their emotional well-being.

Dr. Jill Garrett joined us to talk about a new program she designed for mother’s here on the First Coast called Mother Feels.

New MOSH exhibit

The Museum of Science & History opens its much-anticipated new exhibit Friday.

"Expedition: Dinosaur, Rise of the Mammals," gives you the chance to walk among jaw-dropping, life-size animatronic dinosaurs, including the T-Rex, Torosaurus and Ankylosaurus.

Dr. Anthony Mortimer, director of curatorial services for MOSH, joined us with a preview.

What's Good Wednesday

We took a mid-week look at all the good news around the First Coast this week.
