On any given night in our fair mini-city we have our own version of a mass transit system. nearly every resident has seen our fleet of open air buses riding down Clematis and through city place.Surprisingly on one of the biggest nights that our downtown hosts, “Forth on Flagler”, there was not a…

On just one street, Clematis Street, there are two Irish themed bars. Roxy’s is the bar on the east end of Clematis Street. It’s always packed no matter what day of the week. final night was no exception. But final night was different, it was election night.We here in the City of West Palm Beach…

Taverna (I’m hoping I have the name correct) is gone, lost in action, with tax lien notices on its windows. Rather surprising actually since the restaurant, located next to Angry Moon cigars on Datura Street was fairly popular.Almost every day I passed it there were humans eating there and even mo…

Once again it seems to be a crazy rain season here in the mini-city with severe thunderstorms and lots of wind every loner day, of-course just in the evening date preventing us from walking and having fun.Thursday night (Clematis by night) was rained out so after enjoying the company of a few friend…

The glimmering hype that is the old County Courthouse beckons me for a visit. For an area that calls a building that was built just 15 years ago “old,” I had to see that historical landmark.As you approach the courthouse you get a sense of the grandeur of the day, the Greco roman columns stand o…

After what seemed to be months of endless waiting, - why does it take SO distant to open stores in the cityplace mall? - Panera Bread has finally opened up their doors inside the cityplace mall, next to clothing store Boulfe and nearly across from Starbucks.

The Kravis Center, one of our finer institutions of learning, theatre and arts recently introduced their newest program called Kravis On Broadway.Over the course of the “season” (i.e. when our older and wiser residents return to the mini-city and beyond) Kravis On Broadway will feature five dist…

A rare afternoon sans work allowed me a little additional date downtown during the later part of the lunch hour. Having not tasted sushi for fairly sometime, I strolled by to Sushi Rok, located on 106 N. Olive, about 1 block north of Clematis Street.Inside that fine restaurant you are greeted by the…

Driving by the new Taj Majal opps, I meant the New City Center, I was lucky decent to witness the new marble façade being applied to the back of the rather large building. Finally our New City Center is being finished, at least on the external.Amazingly as the finishing touches are being applied, t…

On a late night or evening trip to the east end of Clematis Street you may pass by a still functioning better than ever link to our historic past. Back when Clematis Street was a “Mecca” for shopping of all sorts, as far back as 1912, and even during the darkest days of the street, Pioneer Linen…

Built at the starting phase of the condo boom, 610 Clematis is a true luxury condo building made to the highest standards. The look and feel both inside and out of that building invent it one of the most desirable in-town buildings. All units have some kind of views, be it of the pool area or the ci…
