I moved to Lake Worth from Boynton a couple of months ago. I have always liked the "vibe" in Lake Worth and have been happy with my decision. It's a great town.
Yesterday when I was coming home the police had "raided" the house next door. It appeared that they were taking away two women. A masked police officer (undercover no doubt) was talking to another resident of the house. I over heard the words, crack, prostitution and "we're watching you".
I knew the people next door were "up to no good" and the house is a run down mess.
While it is unsettling to have a "bust" occur next door, I am delighted to see some action and applaud the officers involved.
I love my new hometown, I like my other neighbors very much. I have a handicapped daughter who lives with me half the time. She loves to walk downtown and see the puppet show and listen to all the great music. I want her to be able to enjoy all of this with me.
I suppose we can be mad about the police situation, however we should be more upset about the criminals that infest such a great town.
Yesterday's raid has spurred me to become more active. This town is too good to give it over to addicts, prostitutes and thieves!

North "L" Street
This was posted under "Life in Lake Worth". I moved it here as it might be overlooked.
