I perceive I'm unintentionally pressing some buttons here but I'll just make this my last post on this thread before I start having to soak my mail.

Glad to hear the Best Western is in stable hands. Last time I was there in 2003 with Palm Farmer Johnny, we found a hypodermic needle next to our door and about 3 wet porno magazines in the parking space next to mine.

(And that's just what I brought with me - bahdamboom.)

No for real. I got a witness.
Hence, I brave the 7-11 trail of Fed. Hwy. North and stay at the Riverside Hotel.

It's Mid-Century too.

BTW, my wife's family has lived in Ft. Lauderdale, mostly Oakland Park, for nearly 50 years.
Her mother worked at the Mai Kai for a short time. I'm not trying to paint the area as anything other than what it is. Much like the Cabana and many other South Florida Icons of yesteryear, certain places need some TLC in an immediate fashion. Oakland Park is one of them, IMO.

That means "In My Opinion" and that's what it is, just like the premise that it's hunky dory and a prime area is an opinion.
