“Keep our Bryant Park PUBLIC!” No beer kiosks, no hot dog stands, and no billboards in our City parks.


Remember that failed tabloid that promoted giving away our Bryant Park to developers?


“Gallery Owner Pitches ‘Art Ship’ for
Lake Worth’s Waterfront”: 
This former tabloid was “Always FREE, Delivered FREE” and had almost no advertising. What kind of ‘newspaper’ was that?

Below is an image from “Issue 9” on March 13th, 2015, from that tabloid following the elections that year. Former commissioners Ryan Maier and Chris McVoy, PhD, are shown celebrating their Election Day victories at Mamma Mia’s On The Beach.

But the public later responded. The public spoke and spoke loudly when plans were discovered to let developers take control of Bryant Park. Luckily, the majority on the City Commission — Mayor Pam Triolo and commissioners Scott Maxwell and Andy Amoroso — would have none of that nonsense and the response was loud and clear:

KEEP OUR BRYANT
PARK PUBLIC!

KEEP THE DEVELOPERS OUT OF OUR PARKS.

Giving away our parks is nothing to
laugh or smile about:
Former commissioners Maier (beaming, white shirt) and McVoy (blue shirt, arms raised) along with jubilant already-former-commissioners JoAnn Golden and Cara Jennings. No word on any
plans for a reunion.
