M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - Frederiksted has always made a strong first impression. The town faces the Caribbean with a long waterfront, a historic fort, and streets that still carry the shape of colonial-era planning. Yet for years, many visitors and residents also saw empty buildings, damaged facades, and blocks that felt overdue for care. That picture is starting to shift. Across Frederiksted, new roadwork, public improvements, private building repairs, arts programming, muse

M.A. Dworkin The Caribbean - Air travel is not a luxury in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is the road system to the mainland, the medical bridge to specialists, the supply line for tourism, and the link between families spread across islands and states. That is why the possible collapse or sharp retreat of a major low-cost carrier like Spirit Airlines has hit the USVI harder than it would many mainland markets. In larger cities, another airline often steps in quickly. In the Car

A.J. Pike St. Croix - A fraud alert from a trusted bank is not just a warning about someone else’s problem. It is a reminder that scammers often sound polished, urgent, and convincing enough to fool careful people. The recent fraud awareness alert issued by the Bank of St. Croix highlights a growing risk for account holders: imposter scams and bank impersonation attempts. These schemes often start with a phone call, text message, email, or pop-up that appears to come from a r

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - There is a hidden gem of a prize that is awarded to the winner of the election for Governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is called Government House. The moment you enter this remarkable compound of buildings that sits along Company Street, in Christiansted, on St. Croix, you know you cannot be anywhere else but on a Caribbean island. Few buildings have such an enduring and significant role in the history of the Virgin Islands. Governme

M.A. Dworkin USVI - A senator in the U.S. Virgin Islands can hear about a pothole before breakfast, question a department head by lunch, and vote on a budget that affects every public school, clinic, ferry route, and police station before the week is over. That closeness is the promise of local politics in the Territory. It is also the pressure. In a small community, public service is never distant or abstract. A senator may see the results of a law at the grocery store, on t

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - The 2026 St. Croix Senate race will ask voters to make a practical choice: who can turn local concerns into laws, budgets, oversight, and results. The names on the ballot matter, but so do the records behind those names. This guide explains how to evaluate each candidate once the field is set, what qualifications deserve close attention, which issues are likely to define the race, and how endorsements and campaign tactics can signal a candidate’s bas

M.A. Dworkin USVI - Independence has an easy moral appeal. A people should decide their own future, write their own rules, and control their own land. For the U.S. Virgin Islands, that argument carries real weight. The Territory has lived under outside authority for centuries, first under European colonial rule and then under the United States. Yet political independence is not only a statement of dignity. It is also a governing system, an economic model, a legal transition,

M.A. Dworkin Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Peace often fails long before shots are fired. Rumors spread. Food prices spike. Hate speech hardens identity lines. A drought pushes families across a border. One side misreads the other’s military movement. By the time diplomats arrive, fear has already done much of the work. Artificial intelligence cannot create peace on its own. It cannot replace courage, trust, justice, or political will. Yet it can help people see risk earlier,
