WHO SAYS NOBODY'S BUILDING?

Looks like construction is about to start in the 200 block of Churchill Road, on the north side about three houses in from Flagler.
Neighbors say the new house is going to be a BIG two-story McMansion.

CONSTRUCTION ON PALMETTO STREET

(From Palm Beach Post)
If you've tried to turn down Palmetto Street lately, you've bumped into the city's latest project.
The repairs started because residents beefed that motorists use the Broadmoor neighborhood's 11 streets - each 50 feet wide - to speed between Dixie Highway and Olive Avenue.
"Residents wanted more neighborhood friendly rather than giant thoroughfares," south-side city commissioner Bill Moss explained.

But a $7 million proposal to narrow the streets has mushroomed into a $22 million project to do much more.
The original plan to narrow the streets turned into replacing them. Then engineers found that water and sewer pipes under the streets needed to be replaced. Drainage for storm water is busted and needs fixin'.
And while the place is torn up, the city figures let's throw in some oak trees.

An International Flavor in the Neighborhood

Churchillians have been waiting for some time for something new in the little shopping center at the west end of our block.

Just this week, the banner went up announcing the impending arrival of a Little Caesar's pizzaria.

Some on the block are skeptical of the chances of success of another pizza joint along a stretch of pizza joints.

We say, Follow the 2008 resolution suggested by Little Caesar himself:
EAT MORE CRAZY BREAD.

Happy New Year!

WEST PALM BEACH - Churchillians celebrated a quiet end to 2007 last night with many families deciding to take in the changing of the calendar at home.
That is: until 12:09.
The multicolored ball drop on Times Square in New York had nothing on the Mar-a-lago fireworks show put on by Donald Trump.
Regis Philbin had told viewers earlier in the day that he was planning to party with The Donald on New Year's Eve in Florida.
If Regis was there, he saw a 20 minute show that included yellow smiley faces, red hearts and green dollar signs.
The fireworks show was visible from homes in the 300 block of Churchill, lighting up the sky until nearly 12:25 a.m.
Our little part of paradise.
