“I AM LAKE WORTH”

Yours Truly, Wes Blackman, will be returning this weekend from my annual trip to visit my father in Michigan. Whilst away in “Pure Michigan”* for two weeks did the annual shuffling of stuff on the blog to keep it interesting for readers: Lot’s of old stuff, some new stuff, and some sort-of-new-stuff too.

Here’s new stuff to report!

Last night whilst preparing for the trip back to the L-Dub was the opening reception of the “I AM LAKE WORTH” exhibit of photographs by Carl Stoveland. Heard a lot of great things about this “showcasing Lake Worth’s greatest asset . . . the people who live, work and play here.”

This exhibit is being held at HATCH 1121† located at 1121 Lucerne Ave. in Downtown Lake Worth. See the remaining exhibit schedule below.

Here is a photo taken in 2018 for the exhibit,
“I AM LAKE WORTH”:

‡LULA  =  “LU” for Lucerne Ave. and “LA” for Lake Ave., the two main east-west pairs in the City linking the Beach and the Downtown to all those areas out west in Central Palm Beach with a ‘Lake Worth’ zip code that wished they actually lived in this little 6-square-mile town that’s “Quirky with a capital ‘Q’ ”!
