A Look Back: "Model of the Casino Building" and do you remember John G's at the BEACH?

[The blog post below is from June 2011 before the previous Casino (the home of John G's) was demolished to make way for the new one, which, by the way, leaks water just like the old structure did.] 

Before the debate I stepped into a "Studio" on J Street. That's where a local artist set up shop while the Casino Building is being demolished and built. A model was put together of the old building, complete with tenant signs, showing how long they were there. She used a picture and applied it to a form. A nice piece of Lake Worth folk art.
For another "Look Back" about the previous Casino building prior to being demolished enjoy the following video: This image is of the Casino building after it was "saved":
The prior Casino structure was 94% demolished. It was never 'saved'.
