Since we have a Commissioner on a "retreat", it's a good time to remember this former Commissioner...

While Commissioner McVoy is off teaching yoga in Tibet, let's dust off some more Tom McGow archival material. This time it's about our former favorite Commissioner Mulvehill.

This might have been during her first term. Lake Worth never ended up being "twinned" with Sopot. Click here for the Wikipedia page on the city. Sopot is a sister city to Southend-on-Sea, U.K. which was another favorite port-of-call for our Commissioner Internationale and one she routinely mentioned as being a sister city with Lake Worth of which it is not.

Coincidentally, the rankings for the top 25 beaches in the U.S. which came out today are based on overall attendance and visitors per capita. It would be nice to see the figures used to place Palm Beach in the number 25 spot. Perhaps with the re-opening of the Gulfstream Hotel, our Lake Worth beach will get a boost in those statistics. Obviously, the economic boom predicted by those who thought the new building would open the flood gates of tourists and their dollars has failed to materialize. The "business model" showing the best to worst case scenarios for the entire beach is not worth the paper it was printed on.
