How safe is our downtown Post Office from closure?
Click title for link to complete, current list. Right now, it appears that only the "Lantana Branch" is listed - but is anyone making sure that ours will not be a victim to closure? Hello?
10th Avenue
I had an occasion to come back to Lake Worth last night going east on 10th. It was the first time I have seen the lights on both sides of the road - it looked like a new city! An inviting entrance to a small coastal town - just what it should look like. It is going to be fantastic once complete, but it's such an improvement even now.

One signed up in mayor's race, as qualifying for Lake Worth city election opens
Click title for link to PB Post article. The Lake Worth Herald, Leonard Saffir called today and asked if I was running for anything. I responded that once I know, I will let them and everyone else know.
E-mail to Commissioners, et al this morning (8/5)
Thank you for considering and discussing many of the questions I posed on the Beach Protection Amendment language. I was able to listen to it on line after I left the meeting.
Can someone forward me the up-dated language? I want to be as accurate as possible - many people are asking for it.
I still wonder about the purpose of it - other than getting people out to the polls to vote for certain candidates, I'm not sure it does anything substantial.
And, I thought it was interesting to hear Laurence McNamara talk about the "re-creation" of the 1921 Casino building - isn't that the same word that is found in the phrase "public recreation?"
Thanks.

Thought: The proposed Beach Ballot measure is like a referendum mandating that the primary source of light on Earth is the Sun.
...along with sneaky "gray area" wording that might protect existing tenants and the casino building - in the condition they're in.
