Good morning. It's Monday, April 4. Pampered pets and their owners took over Central Park in Winter Park for the 13th Annual Doggie Art Festival, which brought artists, non-profits and small businesses together to celebrate pets and the people who love them. As the new home of the Orlando Police Department rises on the west side of Orlando, several other projects are getting started or planned.
