Sit Boy, Heal Heal...

The other day out at my soccer game, I was looking at the crowd and I noticed a little boy that was trying to run from his parents but then WHOOSH, all of a sudden flew backwards. I then noticed his parents had the little guy on a leash, Yes a leash I was stunned. How the hell could a parent put his child on a leash. Lazy parents these days don't want to have to do any more extra work then they have to, and thats including even taking care of their own children. Half of my friends growing up all had nannies who practically raised them, and no not becaue the mom was working, but because she didn;t want to deal wiht the crying and etc. Spoiled mother and ignorant parents putting their children on leashes and treating them like animals is shocking. I guess I should have already expected that though bieng it is Boca, and go figure why our generation has been growing up psycotic.

drive faster!

one would assume that while driving in boca, it would be the senior citizens slowing everyone down... nope! we have such a variation of senior citizens that the young kids are getting yelled at for driving to slow. a friend was driving on glades passing the mall and an old man sped up to her left and yelled 'hey... try driving faster!"

can't help but think to myself... only in boca.

Halloween for Grandmas

So this past Halloween in Boca Raton there were a lot of crazy costumes. Sure, that's normal for young people, but for the old?? Blue Martini is a place where the local Bocan "cougars" tend to flock to. Cougars are described as woman 50+ that dress like they are in their 20's! Well that's what you saw alot of on Halloween. Old ladies wearing scandalous clothes, wearing the low cut costumes. It was downright inappropriate. No wonder Boca is known for the most plastic surgery per capita. Its great people watching though!

Has Boca Lost it's Edge....

Has Boca Finally lost its edge and glamour look of a high end, clean, expensive city?? or did boca decide to say screw it and get money back in Boca Raton anyway they can in this down economy. As most Bocans would know about 7 years ago there was a hooters on Glades Rd. in Boca where Abe&Louies is located. They forced them out saying it was bringing a bad image and not what boca wanted to represent. Well as some may have heard, a new Hooters will be opening around that some location this summer. Why the sudden change Boca official?? Have they got sick of their wives now or decide that it costs to much money to be a member of the country club that they need new ways to get their money. You tell me.. I am all for the Hooters opening up again, it was never a problem and one of the most profitable restraunts when it was around, and I am sure it will pick up right where it left off... Well done boca, well done.

Loggerhead Turtle Population Dwindling

The Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton counts the turtle nests on the beaches of Boca every year. The last 2 out of 3 years brought record low nests with nesting below 400, 14 years ago it was closer to 900. One of the main threats to the little turtles is beach construction and light pollution on the beach. The turtles instinctively go to the brightest light which is normally the moon, but turtles are confused with lights from land. Once they go the opposite way of the moon onto land, they die. Record small nests were recorded this year in South and North Carolina, although Georgia remained consistent. A push is being made to re-classify them from threatened to endangered.

Please people when your on the beach or living on the beach during turtle season, keep your lights off or windows heavily covered. These animals are amazing, we don't want to be the reason for this animals extinction do we?

Cinemark Palace in Boca's Premier Luxury Movie Watching

Cinemark Palace 20 in Boca Raton will wine and dine you with luxury. Sitting at the top of the regular movie theatre, people have the option of dining and drinking a glass of wine while you watch a movie. Although this might sounds as a great experience, movie tickets start at $20, when you can watch a movie without the wine fro $7.50. Its good to do once in a while, but their pricey menu and lavish ambiance does not coincide with the current economic times. "Bocans" living in Boca Raton are very used to this lifestyle and apparently the downturn of the economy has not affected them.

Underage Drinking.....Problem or Not

I can't tell you how many times I have gone out and seen these high school girls absolutely wasted and they look like their 15. As a guy you would think this is the perfect night to come out, but it comes a point when their soo sloppy they are taking turns holding each others hair to throw up....Thank god they passed a law that any area that doesnt serve food has to be 21 or older.

These little babies have their first sip of alcohol and all of a sudden think their wasted, or maybe they do it to think there cool...idk you tell me.

And even worse these group of girls get their pack of 15yr old boyfirends to follow them where ever they go and they take up so much space. The you find yourslef at the bar and a random kid asks you to buy him a drink...... hahah good thing i tell him there is a fee charge of buying me a drink also lol..but no in all seriousness these club promoters will get anyone they can in their but it turns the place into a joke.

Brilliant Burglers in Boca Raton

Out of the very few areas in Boca Raton where the neighborhood is not 5 star a home invasion occurred by up to 5 masked and armed robbers. At 3:30am on November 2nd, the men tied the victims up and stole electronics and cash from the home. The robbers reportedly had shotguns and pistols. All that work and police said they found the truck used as the get away vehicle a block away with some of the stolen property in and around it. The moral of the story, if you don't have morals and want to steel stuff, plan a heist and all, whats the point if you don't take it? Another question that begs to be asked is why did they go in a "hood" in Boca? I mean the chances of hitting a hood in Boca is slim, doesn't an upper scale area have nicer things to steal?

The burglars were not caught yet, but one is sketched to look like the above picture.
