Rainbow Palace Fort Lauderdale

Valentines day is alway special and I had a great time with my wife, Shakira, at the Rainbow Palace, off Oakland Park and Bayview. The food and service is really great but the price tag is very expensive, $30+ a dish.

Since we don't drink, the bill is somewhat manageable but we only celebrate there once or twice a year. It is worth it.

Signs of the Time in Croissant Park

You really see the signs of the times yesterday in Croissant Park. Yesterday I was putting out bulk trash and in the past you would see a person drive up to look at your trash to see if there is anything good to salvage. You might see one person or two in the coarse of 24 hours. Yesterday was another story, it was a like a parade of cars and all kind of people, white, black, Hispanic. I was glad there wasn't a fight over the trash but it sad indicator of the times.

I know the unemployment is the worst its been in years and I have heard it has reached close to 12% in Florida. You might not think its that bad until yesterday, bulk trash in Croissant Park.

Did anyone see that too or was it just me?
God Bless,
John
