Lest We Forget...

...about the contrasts between the built environment of Lake Worth and that of other urban areas in Palm Beach County, I thought it would be helpful to post these pictures here. Many times we lose the frame of reference and can get carried away with distorted notions of what real estate development is and how cities are created and defined.

So, the next time you hear about over-development in Lake Worth, refer back to these pictures:

West Palm Beach



Singer Island


Lake Worth

This is looking east, from the walkway under the bridge. You can see the crane used for pier repairs at the beach on the right side of the picture.

This is looking west, south of the bridge, with the southern edge of the bridge just out of
the picture to the right.

This is the view west from "Ye Olde Bridge Park", the north edge of the bridge is
just out of the picture to the left.
