Why can't Lantana, Greenacres, Palm Springs, Royal Palm Beach and The Great Walled City of Atlantis be special too?

Check out the Post's blog "Central Palm Beach County". Of the last 32 blog posts which city is highlighted 29 times (92%)? That's right. Lake Worth. Shouldn't this be called the "Lake Worth" or "LDub" blog?

A recent entry in the 'Central Palm Beach County' blog is about a press release issued by the City from the Water Utility.

But more importantly, what about all those citizens in the rest of Central Palm Beach County? Aren't they deserving of attention too? What about Greenacres? They're just as concerned about their community as Lake Worth is. Maybe one day soon the Post will have a blog just for them too.

The Post's "In Your Community" section features the same cities, over and over and over again, each and every week. Why can't cities like Greenacres be special too?

For everyone truly interested in the goings-on in Lake Worth here are some suggestions to get your information unfiltered and straight from the source:

• For events, new and ongoing, use this link.
• To learn about Lake Worth's Water Utility use this link.
• Do you know who the mayor and commissioners are and what style of government Lake Worth has?
• Have questions about public safety?
• The Lake Worth Electric Utility is also a current topic. Do you know who the director is and want to learn more how the utility operates?
• Heard about the city manager? Use this link to learn more. 

The point is you don't need the Post to educate you about Lake Worth. The City's very own website does that quite well.

And FYI, The Lake Worth Herald online edition comes out on Thursday and you can pick up the print edition on Friday at the City's newsstand across the street from the downtown Starbucks.

The Herald is still just ¢50! The Post costs 3× that.

If you've followed the Post's coverage of Lake Worth you can see how there would be a certain level of concern about being featured each and every week. Remember this gem?

Recall false headlines about a "curfew" in Lake Worth? Following that my blog readers got a lesson on loaded language. Note that reporter Kevin Thompson never mentioned the word "curfew" at all in his articles. His editor(s) were responsible for purposefully misleading the public.

In conclusion, browse the City's website to learn more about this little 6 square mile area called Lake Worth. And while you're at it, subscribe to The Lake Worth Herald too. And if you're wondering why Lake Worth is so very, very special to the Post. . . a lot of other people are also wondering about that too.
