The city's early history was as the site of Addison Mizner's Boca Raton Hotel. The "pink hotel" today is visible from miles away as a towering building on the Intracoastal Waterway. The Pearl City neighborhood of Boca Raton was established to originally house the service personnel for the hotel. Japanese farmers of the Yamato Colony converted the land west of the city into pineapple plantations beginning in 1904. During World War II much of their land was confiscated and used as the site of a major training facility for B-29 bomber crews. Much of the airbase was later donated to become the grounds of Florida Atlantic University, many of whose parking lots are former runways of the airbase, while part of the airbase is now used as Boca Raton Airport. The Japanese heritage of the Yamato Colony survives in the name of Yamato Road (NW 51st Street) just north of the airport and at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens northwest of the city. -- Source: Wikipedia.com

Keel set for chalupa replica
03/23/2012

The bare bones of a replica 16th-century boat are a promise of things to come at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.

“We’re recreating the history of St. Augustine one board at a time,” said John Stavely, manager at the tourist attraction that increasingly offers visitors a chance to discover the roots of St. Augustine.

Or as Pedro Menendez de Aviles re-enactor Chad Light puts it, “We’re rebuilding Menendez’s empire.”

Putnam County abandons policy of segregating, euthanizing pit bulls
03/23/2012

A decade-long policy that saw pit bulls segregated by Putnam County Animal Control as potentially dangerous, then euthanized instead of being put up for adoption has been abandoned after an animal rights group worked out a compromise with the Sheriff’s Office.

The changes mean pit bulls won’t be automatically put down as efforts begin to find legitimate pet rescue groups willing to adopt them to new homes.

TALLAHASSEE — Two weeks after its first maps were rejected, the Senate passed a second redraw Thursday of the political lines that would shape the chamber for the next decade if the state Supreme Court approves.

The 31-6 vote came after an all-day floor session where members considered and dismissed several last-minute changes. The maps now go to the House for what is largely seen as a procedural vote before heading back to the court.

Gene Frenette: Given second chance for Tebow, Jaguars fumbled again
03/22/2012

When the city of Jacksonville landed its NFL franchise in 1993, it received a fortuitous bounce from pre-expansion favorite St. Louis, which fumbled the opportunity away with a mismanaged game plan.

This time, in one of the biggest opportunities in franchise history, the Jaguars dropped the ball by not agreeing to pay a reasonable price to acquire the most popular football player in Jacksonville history.

Dining Notes: Chain restaurants no stranger to Jacksonville
03/22/2012

Chain restaurants.

While some loathe their existence, others boast about them, using their presence in Jacksonville as a measuring stick to compare our city against others.

That was the case in 2000, when the Times-Union asked its readers which restaurants and retail stores they would like to see in Jacksonville. The reader query followed newspaper reports of two proposed Southside retail developments, Freedom Commerce Center and Deerwood Town Center, as well as the previously announced Main Street Florida shopping center in North Jacksonville.

Fans react to Tim Tebow trade news
03/22/2012

It ignited some: “I got one thing to say. Fire Gene Smith.”

It made sense to others: “Do I think he is a long-term answer? I don’t.”

It left others scratching their heads: “How do you not make that trade?”

The issue at hand was whether the Jacksonville Jaguars should trade for Tim Tebow, the former University of Florida star and Heisman Trophy winner from Jacksonville.

Tebow went on the trading block this week when his current team, the Denver Broncos, acquired four-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning.

The Cooler
03/20/2012



Lots of news out there this morning, readers. Here's some of it.

A- Sun-Sentinel: Video, House gets burglarized while victim is on date with suspect.

B- Sun-Sentinel: Marlin parking, no problemo. Don't worry about it.

Residents near the new Marlins ballpark unleashed their fury and frustration on the city and its major-league ballclub Thursday evening, saying a newly unveiled parking plan for the neighborhood will make their lives miserable.

The plan sets aside a few blocks near the ballpark where area residents can park. But it bans residential parking on many more stretches — to accommodate baseball fans coming to the watch a game.

People who live on those banned blocks will have to find somewhere else to park on the 81 times a year — mostly night games — when the Marlins play at home.
C- Sun-Sentinel: Life in South Florida.
"Identity theft is really becoming an epidemic. It's out of control," said Sgt. Patrick Murray, who oversaw Thursday's sweep. "We believe these businesses are playing a role in that epidemic."

Approximately 35 tax service providers have opened makeshift offices in Oakland Park since the beginning of the 2012 income tax season, according to officials.

[...]

Federal, state and county investigators have said they believe some illegitimate tax preparers are taking customer information and using it to either file phony tax returns or selling the information to others.
D- Palm Beach Post: Lotsa rich people standing in lines this morning.
Apple iPad fans ready for a new tablet may want to get to stores early this morning.

[...]

The new focus is understandable, considering 40 percent of iPad owners have a household income of $100,000 or more, according to The NPD Group.
E- TC Palm: Republican Party Letter to the Editor of the Day.
In my teenage years in the 1950s, blacks were not allowed to eat in restaurants with whites, had to sit in the balconies at the movies, couldn't drink from "white" water fountains, and more. Through the years, blacks gained their rights, attended "white" colleges, became professionals and eventually blended into the "white" community.

They have come a long way, and now the president is dividing us again with his African-Americans for Obama agenda in his re-election campaign.

Most young people today have no idea what Obama's true agenda is, as they spend most of their time texting, sexting, tweeting, twittering and whatever else they do with those smartphones. Thus, I am preaching to the choir.

It's frustrating, as I have been investigating the president for four years now, and what I have discovered is frankly devastating for this country.

[...]

Fox News is the only network that will tell us anything about Obama, and I feel it's not enough. I say to the left-wing liberals, one day you will wake up and wonder where your freedom went — too late.

Andrew Breitbart, the conservative activist who died at 43 of "natural causes" the day (March 1) that he was going to release damaging videos of Obama, said that racial division and class warfare were essential to how "hope and change" was sold us in 2008. He was a prophet.
F- NBC Miami: You're not in Kansas anymore.
Florida was named the top tornado state in the country with 12.3 tornadoes per 10,000 square miles, according to The Weather Channel's tornado expert Dr. Greg Forbes.
G- WPTV: Police chase, Florida style.
Residents heard a noise and called police, authorities said. When they arrived Thursday around 1 a.m. police saw Dwyer running from the area on foot.

After a short chase by foot, police said Dwyer jumped into the Poppleton Creek and began swimming away toward the St. Lucie River.

Police said a resident from Overlook Drive volunteered to take officers on his boat to help with the pursuit.

Officers said Dwyer tried to swim away, until he became so fatigued that he gave up and boarded the boat.
