Get ready Lake Worth: We're up tomorrow (Monday) in the Post! The question is, will it be each and every Monday from now on?

In the Post's new "In Your Community" section, 5 of the 6 cities cited are coastal. If "growth" is the focus will there be attention given to western sprawl too? Or will the focus be mostly about just coastal development?

The Palm Beach Post has started an "In Your Community" segment that appears on page B3, Local section. The first one appeared last Tuesday (3/29) with the town of Jupiter. In the batting lineup Lake Worth will be in tomorrow's edition. If you've followed the Post's coverage of Lake Worth you can see how there would be a certain level of concern about this:

Remember the false headlines about a "curfew" in Lake Worth? Following that nonsense my blog readers got a lesson on loaded language.

And who can forget about the mural of the Cuban-American boy? A team effort by the Post and CBS12/WPEC about "a woman" that fell flat.

What's unclear is if the Post will give attention to all municipalities in Palm Beach County north of Delray Beach (their southernmost news coverage area) or just a select few. How about unincorporated areas like the Lake Worth Corridor? Will those areas also get attention?

The focus seems to be on "growth" in the County. With all the concern about western sprawl why are the first 5 cities/towns "In Your Community" located along the coast? Only 1 of the 6, Wellington, is located in western Palm Beach County. Are we to conclude that coastal development is more of a concern than western sprawl to the editors and decision-makers at the Post?

Hopefully, the Post's laser beam focus will not be on just a few select areas of PBC, ignoring many other communities that are also worthy of attention. For instance, if you've been paying attention, there's been development going on in other cities as well, like Greenacres to name one.
