July 4th festivities in L-Dub*: News from Lauren Bennett and Ben Kerr.


But first, here is very important information
from the City of Lake Worth:


The City advises those attending the 4th of July celebrations in Bryant Park: Do not attempt to park in Bryant park as parking will be extremely limited.
     Attendees should make use of FREE parking available in Downtown Lake Worth — park and make your way on foot to Lake Ave. — and then head east to Bryant Park (basically, just follow the crowds).

All vehicles: Pay close attention to road closures and detours.

Bryant Park Boat Ramp: In order to accommodate the Great American Raft Race the City closed down the Bryant Park boat ramps and they will reopen today (Wed., July 4th) at 10:00 p.m.

In order to accommodate the July 4th Fireworks Display the Lake Worth (Robert Harris) Bridge will be closed from 8:30 p.m.–10:00. Traffic will be detoured either north to the Southern Blvd. Bridge or south to the Lantana Bridge.

Without further ado. . .

*L-Dub  =  slang for “City of Lake Worth”. ‘L’ stands for “Lake” and ‘Dub’ for double-‘u’ as in letter W. This slang term was first popularized in The Palm Beach Post.

WELCOME TO THE L-DUB:
Where SMALL delights create BIG personality!”
Very important: “L-Dub” refers to the actual City of Lake Worth, not one of those cookie-cutter ‘communities’ out west somewhere with a Lake Worth zip code.

We are LAKE WORTH. A hometown City that is committed to delivering the highest level of customer service through a commitment to integrity, hard work and a friendly attitude. We strive to exceed the expectations of our citizens, our businesses, our elected officials and our fellow employees.”
