The latest from Kevin D. Thompson: our new beat reporter in Lake Worth (starting Monday)

Mr. Thompson writes about a makeover at a restaurant in Royal Palm Beach:

     Agatha Christie never wrote a novel about Applebee’s restaurant makeovers in Palm Beach County, but if she did, the title — for now — could have been “And Then There Were Four.”
     As in, four county Applebee’s have been given an extensive community-themed overhaul in recent months by Doherty Enterprises, the New Jersey company that bought 38 of the restaurants — 35 of them in Florida — two years ago.
     Locations in Greenacres, Palm Beach Gardens and Boynton Beach have already been upgraded.
     By next week, you can add the Royal Palm Beach location on State Road 7 to the list.

There's a lot of very good things happening in the City of Lake Worth. But unless you let Mr. Thompson know what's going on he won't know. How many emails has he gotten about "THE BEACH!" getting sold, the city commission doesn't care about 'Dark Skies' and turtles, or an ordinance to stop the FEC train horns?

The media gets 'worked' all the time and every single story has a spin of some sort. So get to work and create your own spin!
