Default Re: How to restore our country to greatness.

If that's the Corner Store off Southern Blvd, I know it! (Should I admit that?)

Seriously, I was born in WPB and and raised in Lake Worth. I grew up living in the only house in Lake Worth north of 6th Ave N. to survive the '28 hurricane. My grandfather built it in '25. (in 1943 during WW2, he also built a house in Miami that later was the only house for 3 miles around to survive Andrew in'92)

I remember when they put in I-95, and we all said, "What the heck are they doin' putting that new highway way out west of town?" Of course, the "metropolitan" WPB area back then, from Lake Park to Lantana, and out to Green Acres, had all of 33,000 people. The speed limit on Jog Rd and Military Trail was mostly 60 or 70 mph back then, except around Forest Hill Blvd and Lake Worth Rd.

And you could drive from Okeechobee Rd in WPB to SR 826 in N. Miami on US441 with the hammer down all the way, and you only had to slow down from the posted limit of 70 mph once: at Tamarac where the speed limit dropped to 35 mph with no warning. (Although there were 3 other stop lights: Lake Worth Rd, Glades Rd, and SR 84.)

Damn, I'm getting old.
