Fast-forward to today, July 11th, 2017, 642 days later:

Nothing much has changed since October 2015. The “Glory Days” we were hoping for have still to arrive.

See the list of “Daily Progress Reports” below. All of which show very little progress.

Still empty. Still shuttered. Still no hotel rooms available in our Downtown in the little City of Lake Worth.

Progress Reports, June 28th–July 9th:

• Monday, July 10th: This “Daily Progress Report” has information from Senior Reporter Brian Bandell at the South Florida Business Journal.
• Sunday, July 9th: “Will next year be another Street Painting Festival, one more festival or big event in our City’s Downtown, with the Gulfstream Hotel closed and shuttered?”
• Saturday, July 8th: “Maybe it’s our Gulfstream Hotel, still an eyesore in our Downtown following all that excitement in January 2016, that stands a constant reminder what historic preservation cannot do. What needs to happen is not happening.”
• Friday, July 7th: Email from Hudson Holdings dated March 31st, 2017, “More good news from Hudson Holdings. The Gulfstream Hotel is a GO!”, following District Court of Appeals ruling.
• Thursday, July 6th: “This sidewalk is nearly impassable due to all the unkempt vegetation and weeds.”
• Wednesday, July 5th: “I do not believe anything Hudson Holdings says,” one resident posted on the Facebook page Lake Worth Local. “Look at how they let the property deteriorate.”

• Monday, July 3rd: “A tree growing out of the structure cannot be good for this ‘elegant’ structure. Simple pruning shears would help this ‘multi-million dollar facelift.’ ”
