Happy Birthday America!
While travel has surged toward normalcy during other major holidays, data from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) shows the number of Americans passing through airports actually surpassed pre-pandemic levels at some points over the July 4th long weekend!
The TSA checkpoint numbers updated Tuesday show just over 10 million people were screened between July 1st and July 5th, marking a new pandemic record.
Overall, air travel was up nearly 200% from this time last year, when roughly 3.4 million people passed through security checkpoints amid still pervasive travel restrictions during the July 4th holiday.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims of this horrific tragedy.
It is almost surreal to me that this could happen to real estate in 2021. While the collapse has prompted inspections of buildings throughout Miami-Dade County, concerns about the sister building of the collapsed Champlain Towers South have been allayed by recent inspections. (CNN)
In the days immediately following the collapse, the County and nearby towns began asking building owners to inspect their buildings and submit recertifications for buildings over a certain height and age.
The push has already resulted in the evacuation of one condo building in North Miami Beach and the closure of a 1920s courthouse in Downtown Miami.
