Being physically fit and well is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. If you do have a physical ailment or condition that makes your mobility harder, you know just how important it is to have help. <strong>April</strong> is Physical Wellness Month and if you have it, share it! The annual Cruiser Palooza Music & Arts Festival aims to bring the community together to support local resident, Cruise Bogle, who suffered a spinal cord injury at the age of 19, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. The event not only provides Cruise a tremendous source of emotional, as well as financial support for his current and future needs, but due to the growth over the years, it now allows Cruise to support others in need. He started a non-profit organization, The Cruisey Baby Initiative, with a mission to substantially change the lives of people struggling to live a healthy and fulfilling life with a spinal cord injury. The event features live music from The Resolvers and Spred The Dub, food trucks, drinks, beer garden, live artist installments, a cornhole tournament and a silent auction. Tickets are $40 if purchased in advance and $50 for general admission. Cruiser Palooza Music & Arts Festival is held Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 6 from 5 to 10 p.m. at Old School Square, 51 N. Swinton <strong>Ave</strong>. Please visit cruisebogle.com/ cruiserpalooza for more information and to purchase tickets. THE GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP 26 | APRIL <strong>2024</strong> | WWW.ATLANTICAVEMAGAZINE.COM We love you, Earth! While Earth Day might be just one day in <strong>April</strong>, it should really be every day. In addition to constant reducing, reusing and recycling efforts that we should be practicing daily, we can also take steps to help keep our backyard clean. <strong>April</strong> is Keep America Beautiful Month, and you’re invited to get your hands a little dirty to keep Delray clean. The Great American Cleanup, a project of Keep America Beautiful, is coordinated in Palm Beach County by Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful Inc. and the Solid Waste Authority, and everyone is invited. There are events throughout the month, so pick an event that works best for you and get out there! The Delray-specific events include a cleanup with the Trashy Mermaids and Spodak Dental Group on Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 6, at 9 a.m. at South Tower 3. There’s also an event at the Sandoway Discovery Center (140 S. Ocean Blvd.) on Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 20 (Earth Day) at 8 a.m. Both event organizers invite you to head to the beach and rid the sand of litter. It’s a small effort that yields a big reward, so gather the family and friends, hit the beach, and then reward yourself with a morning beach sesh or grab breakfast at Caffe Luna Rosa afterward.

You can go as basic as plastic-wrapped cheese squares and white bread or fancy it up with meat and veggie additions and artisan bread. Regardless of your preference, the end result is always the same: a happy and full belly. <strong>April</strong> is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month, and if you’d like to indulge but don’t have the patience to make a grilled cheese at home (it is a skill), then head downtown and place your trust in any of our talented sandwich chefs. Granger’s Grille boasts a master Six Cheese Grilled Cheese for $10.75. Go crazy and add bacon for $2.50 or tomato for $1, then sit back, relax and watch the ooey gooey cheese come to you. Dada is practically famous for their always $10 The Starving Artist Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Made with sourdough bread and toasted garlic and served with cream of tomato soup, it’s seriously heaven. If you want to toast to the toast with a selection of sandwich-complementing beer, head to Beer Trade. For $16 you can enjoy either their Cuban Grilled Cheese, Caprese Grilled Cheese or Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese, and more beers than you thought existed. Yep, it simply cannot get better.
