We have been fortunate to have a well run Supervisor of Elections office for many years now. The…read moreproblems you see on the news just don't happen here. We didn't have any "hanging chads" here in 2000. Tuesday we had another successful election even with a strong thunderstorm that knocked out power for a little bit and blew over the tent covering the curbside drop off for absentee/mail-in ballots. Heck, one precinct even had to briefly deal with a naked man in front of the precinct. I know y'all all saw that "Florida man" story. 67% of us voting by mail and early voting probably helped Tuesday be mostly uneventful. Supervisor of Elections is normally a job for as long as you want it as long as you don't mess up. Wilma Sullivan was Supervisor for forever when I was younger. Her son worked for years with her and probably would have been the next Supervisor because of his experience but evidently they didn't trust the electorate to pick the most experienced candidate so on the last day of qualifying Wilma announced her retirement and her son became the only candidate to qualify before the deadline. That caused quite an uproar so a write in candidate won the job. He didn't avoid messing up so Ion Sancho got the job and kept things smooth for many years right past the 2000 Florida election debacle. He did such a good job that he became something of an election expert on the national level. Mark Earley, the most experienced employee in Ion's office, won the election after Ion's retirement and has kept things running smooth since. I suspect he will be in the job as long as he wants it.

She completely changed my perception with her amazing experience. SSG Unanka actually took the time to get to know me. She helped me pick a job to not only fit my career path, but would also translate extremely well in the civilian world. She is very empathic and knowledgeable. She worked around my demanding work schedule. This felt like I was communicating with family and someone who understands me! I promise you no other recruiter is like this!

It…read moremay not be as modern as a library would be if it was built today, but it has done a good job of adapting to the technological advances that libraries have seen in the 27 years since it opened. It certainly has come a long way from the first public library that I remember, which opened in 1956 in the basement of The Columns when that building was located at Park and Adams (where the Doubletree Hotel is now located). Now The Columns sits on a corner of the property where this library was built and the library sits on the former site of an earlier version of Leon High School. They have a good selection of all the usual library offerings of books, periodicals, CDs, DVD's and even digital downloads of current books. I even saw a poster recently at our branch library that indicated you can now download graphic novels/comics. Our Tallahassee Genealogical Society maintains a genealogy research section at this library as well. I personally enjoy being able to search the library catalog online so I can place a hold on a book I want to check out and have it delivered to my branch library or being able to renew checkouts when I take more than the 3 weeks checkout period to finish a book.

I went in the other day to simply print one page from a document in an email. I didn't know where to start so I went to the info desk right as you walk in. There were three super eager, knowledgeable students there ready to help me. They told me I would need to put at least a dollar on a card to print. I told them I had no cash on me, but I had my debit card. They told me "no worries" and that it was .10 per page to print and handed me a card with .90 on it. Then the girl gave me verbal instructions about how to log in and print from their computers. She also told me to come back if I got stuck or had any other questions. I was able print my page without any difficulty because of their help! I also love that you can grab a Starbucks while you're in the library. So cool! I will explore other services offered here and write another review in the near future. Great experience!

South Florida is not the Same anymore…read more When I saw Marqus post this I was thinking....I love South Florida soooo much, but its changed in so many ways that makes me hate it at the same time, I hate the crooked politics, the shady deals concocted with these power hungry people. I hate the multi language pamphlets and the discrimination of being the only English speaking person when I walk into store in Margate FL USA to order a raw palomilla steak to cook at home. The look of the butcher was one of laughter and disgust that I couldn't speak Spanish. Needless to say I haven't been back. Lets not even bring Miami in the conversation because that's a whole other story. Where are all the friendly people? Waving at my neighbors and getting a wave back is an anomaly. Even in public people look so pissed off. When I smile and say good morning they look at me like I have a penis growing out of my head. Occasionally, I'll get a friendly response, but it don't happen much. Crime, homeless beggars on the every street corner, on every exit of I-95, is a bitch. Do I give them a buck, do I look straight forward, do I pray I get a green light, do I roll my window up. Is a common theme played out as I travel around South Florida. Shootings, kidnappings, drugs, pedophiles, locked front doors, bars on homes, locked and loaded handguns, AR-15 at the ready, and state of the art surveillance equipment is the norm in South Florida. What's crazy is we all have become numb with craziness that its become normal. Well it ain't normal folks. What makes South Florida A-OK is the weather, the fact that I'm a native here, the outdoor activities , the diversity, and the great Cuisine. I love the town I grew up in Oakland Park. It's now seeing a rebirth with the Funky Budda opening up and a Culinary Arts district in the works. My present home town, Coral Springs is an oasis compared to most cities, with its beautiful parks, A rated public schools, great recreation and arts programs. With Parkland next door you can't beat the one two punch that these cities deliver when it comes to a good hometown vibe. But as they say. Happiness and Good schools come at a price and it ain't cheap. As I was driving home from beautiful No Name Key this weekend, I got into the City Limits of Coral Springs, I looked over at my wife and said, Damn Its good to be home. Is any hometown area 5 stars? No. I think if you ask someone who lives in New York City they would say the same thing. Unless you came to South Florida on vacation then it would be hard not to give it 5 stars. But I live here and I see all its flaws but I still love/hate the place. With that said, I don't plan on moving anytime soon.

I'm rather surprised that there are no Yelp reviews on what is South Florida or even a good…read moredefinition of what it is or exactly what comprises it. I mean really, we live in it, we have two Yelp communities with it, it has local and regional flavor to it and while most of us live in it, no one has mentioned what it is that we live in. South Florida or as some refer to it, "SoFlo," is a vernacular not an official definition of an area of the United States entirely unique. Since it isn't officially defined, I'll define it as being Monroe, Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, being more generally defined by its location in and near the Florida peninsula and the tropical climate even though there exist a host of arguments as to whether or not Broward is in fact tropical. Then also, with out a doubt, there a state of mind different than that of the rest of Florida. Let me begin with it how South Florida was created. It's my theory that South Florida as we know it today was created by God. In creating it he took the earth, tilted it, and everything loose fell into South Florida. The proof of my theory is evident by the huge diversity of population. We have massive numbers of migrants from the north, immigrants from all over the Caribbean, South America and even from Europe, Russia and Thailand just to name a few. No other area of the world that I know of has such diversity. The fact that even my official voting ballot in Broward County is written in three different languages and that we conduct studies using 27 different languages in our Broward County school system clearly stands out as concrete proof of what I have to say. An even better example which is known to all Yelpers are our diversity in restaurants and cafes. Like where else can you go to a Chinese Restaurant, then go next door for a French pastry or dessert and then on to a Cuban café for a cup of Cuban Coffee. Just a mere reading of the Yelp restaurant reviews of the area covers a much bigger diversity in ethnic foods than any other area covered by Yelp, a wonderful thing for a foodie and so often taken for granted by those of us who live here in what is our paradise. The other thing is that South Florida is only tied to the rest of the State of Florida by certain political and economic ties. Other than that, South Florida and South Floridians have little if anything in common with the remainder of that state be it political (South Florida is liberal the remainder of the state conservative), religious cultural and ethnic diversity and of course what concernsus as Yelpers the most, is the diversity in food and restaurants.
