[UPDATE] Attention Lake Worth CRA!

Earlier this morning I posted the image below about the artists in Delray Beach's Artists Alley having to find a new location. Searched through my older posts and discovered I wrote about this sad situation in November of 2014 and again in April of 2015. The latter post was titled, "Are you an artist in Delray Beach and considering other options?" 

This news isn't necessarily unexpected; many in Delray Beach worked hard to find a solution including city staff and the elected but market forces prevailed. In both blog post's I made the case that Lake Worth would be one of many ideal places in Palm Beach County to consider if the worst were to happen and they were forced to move. Now, sadly, that time has come. 

I Tweeted out this news and a fellow in Boynton Beach chimed in. He suggested the artists check out Boynton Beach too:
Everyone's hearts in Palm Beach County go out to these artists and we all wish them the best. Here is someone to contact in Lake Worth if you would like to come up and check out our City:
