From the campaign trail...

 We were in the heart of Mango Groves yesterday where we bumped into many old friends and made some new ones too.  It was nice to have the breeze to keep us cooler.

 Here I am in front of 431 North L Street - a city-owned property - formerly a notorious "den of iniquity."  It was built in the 20s and designed by noted local architect G.. Sherman Childs as a four unit walk-up - rare in south Florida.  I believe the property is on the surplus list for the city to dispose of - it would take some work and it would be good to place a condition on the new owners to limit the number of units to four rather than what the zoning designation would allow.  It would take some work, and there are other potential uses for it.  I have already written much about the property here.  You might want to search "431 North L Street" in the search box above.
