Can you see me now? Can you read what it says?

Hmmm... maybe you need to take a step or two back from it, like a Pointillist painting, to see the whole picture.
Maybe even back across the street to the corner of Hallandale Beach Blvd. and S.E. 24th Street.
How's that working?
Can you make it out now?

Sale of Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa

Many more interesting posts are soon going to be making their way off the draft page and into the blog, replete with photos to illuminate the point, but until then, please see some recent posts at parent blog SouthBeachHoosier, regarding
1. some historical perspective on the move of the U-M Hurricanes to the former Joe Robbie Stadium
2. the history of some of the City of Miami hijinks that caused Mr. Robbie to flee the Orange Bowl in the first place, and
3. the prospective sale of the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa, the Alexandria Lighthouse of south Broward County. http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/pharos.html

Hallandale Beach Police Neighbourhood Watch

Small things make a big difference.
So does attention to details.
You'd think that'd be something the HB Police Department would care about.
No, not so much.

After all they're the same folks who gave us the 'scarecrow' police cruisers at the beach, wherein empty police cars -left next to an unguarded parking lot- are supposed to, simultaneously, deter crime and keep the peace at one of the busiest places in HB on weekends, esp. three-day holiday weekends.

So when did we start using British spellings on Hallandale Beach documents?
Did I miss the memo or City Commission vote on this?
