If you have not already heard, later this evening, at 7 pm, I and several other folks from the Hollywood Hills, North Central, and Park East Civic Associations will be at Cao Bakery and Café, at 2401 Hollywood Blvd., a new restaurant which promises to be a boon to the area near Hollywood City Hall that can certainly use more liveliness and diversity of tastes.

I had the good fortune two weeks ago of being able to speak for a few minutes at their new location to Tony Cao, the owner of the popular Miami-based business. The company had previously been his family's highly-regarded Vicky Bakery & Restaurant, famous in Miami-Dade for their delicious pastries.

It's spelled Cao, but pronounced like the bovine, cow... with the "A" in the logo representing a slice of pie or cake. Tony joked to me that over time he and his business partner had come to say that CAO stood for Cuban American Original.
That's actually reflected in some of the locations on the wall behind the counter.

With the opening of his Hollywood location on the northwest corner of Hollywood Blvd. and N. 24th Avenue, the site formerly of a Wings 'n Curls but which had laid empty for at least the past 18 months, Tony's successful business will number ten Cuban cuisine footholds in South Florida, and his second in Broward County, with more planned in the future, including, perhaps, one located somewhere in Hallandale Beach. #CaoHollywood
Their eventual goal? "...to be the Dunkin’ Donuts of Cuban pastries." I can live with that!
Please swing by the Hollywood site tonight if you can and munch on some delicious food and socialize with some of Hollywood's most-involved, most-informed citizenry. ️
The word for today is "Cao."— HallandaleBeach/Hollywood Blog (@hbbtruth) December 17, 2019
The newest location of @CaoBakery says hello tonight to their new #HollywoodFL neighbors and future customers near @cohgov City Hall. Their aim?

I can live with that!😊https://t.co/uCOKPPGTLy pic.twitter.com/OfgrPGeE2H
Last week I posted the following very sad blog post that you may not have seen because of the holidays and travel, so if you missed it then, please take a look at it when you can.
In Miami, An Unspeakable Tragedy in a Time of Thanksgiving - South Florida suffers a grievous loss with the death of young and idealistic Alejandra Agreda. This news broke my heart that Saturday night...
A 2020 that will open with one less concerned and committed civic activist eager and able to make a positive difference in a part of America that's largely bereft of them.
