Maybe it's one of my favourite areas of Miami even though it has some crazy traffic and some angry people and a lot of rough-ish areas with some crime, mostly petty, and some people being kind of aggressive. It's not as worn down and worn out, infrastructure and roadway wise, as a lot of Miami, and it has a couple of excellent Boba shops including my favorite one in the region. It also has a few of the best Cuban restaurants in the whole area, so it's impossible for me not to love Davie and I'm looking forward to coming back here with Barbie soon. Oh and the boba shop is Hanji, so try it. Or if you don't like boba then Hanji, my dear, I don't give a damn. 4 City of Clearwater https://www.yelp.com/biz/city-of-clearwater-clearwater?osq=city+of 5 City Gate Shell https://www.yelp.com/biz/city-gate-shell-naples-2 4 Ghost Tour https://www.yelp.com/biz/ghost-walk-charleston 5 Little Havana https://www.yelp.com/biz/little-havana-miami-3 My Havana is not all that little, but that's beside the point. Miami is full of vibrant electric amazing and unique districts which are nothing like the vast majority of the United States, and Little Havana is right at the top of the list of neighbourhoods that you should check out when you are down here in Miami. It might even be #1 on the list, all things considered. Come and see for yourself how the wonderful Cuban flavour and all of the great food and drinks and desserts and nightlife and just the atmosphere here all combine into a truly amazing experience, which really does feel more like Cuba than Florida - and for that reason I love it.

The Town of Davie - is intriguing as it is very old school and in the country and basically horse…read moreland! It has the Bergeron rodeo arena here after all. So it seemed fitting for me to go and check out Davie's Town hall. Their town hall - does not look like any other town hall that's for sure. This is made of wood, and looks quite old and unique - see my pictures for a peak! I could not find out the age of this building - maybe you can, and if you find out, please lmk! ____________________________________________________________________ Some history about Davie - The first permanent settlers of the Town of Davie arrived in 1909 from the Panama Canal Zone and later from states such as Illinois, Michigan, and Kentucky. They were drawn to the area because of the efforts by the State of Florida to drain the swamp land; the land was cheap with an ideal climate, and the richness of the soil. Many of these settlers arrived by way of train and boat. Travel was very slow because of the lack of roads from established towns and villages. The northern settlers traveled via railroad to Jacksonville, by the Florida East Coast Railroad to Fort Lauderdale. Once in Fort Lauderdale, the travelers would have to travel by boat to reach the Davie area, known in that time as "Zona." The first settlers elected to name this area "Zona" because of the influence of the settlers from the Panamanian Canal Zone. By 1914, approximately 250 people called Davie home. Originally, the Davie Farm at Zona, Florida consisted of 2,000 acres purchased from the State by Everglades Sugar and Land, Co., and subdivided into smaller acreages. The land had not been thoroughly drained resulting in the early settlers having to contend with persistent flooding and local wildlife. The first homes were constructed of lumber and tar paper and could not withstand the rain and thunderstorms. The hurricanes and storms of September 1926 were pivotal in the development of Davie as most of the homes were lost that year. By the end of 1926, most homes were constructed of concrete block to better withstand inclement weather. The Town of Davie's proud culture stems from of its most recognizable landmarks, the Old Davie School and the Rodeo Arena. Old Davie School is the oldest existing school in Broward County. The school was opened in 1918 with 90 students. The school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Davie Rodeo Arena was constructed by 17 residents in 1946. In 1925, Zona was renamed in R.P. Davie's honor as the Town of Davie, having purchase a significant amount land in the area. Davie was originally incorporated in 1925, but later dissolved during the following legislative session to avoid taxation resulting from the incorporation. The Town was again incorporated in 1961 with less than 2,000 residents. By the mid 1970s, the Town of Davie had over 12,000 residents. By the 1990s, the Town population exploded to over 47,217 residents. Today, Davie boasts a population of over 92,000 residents.

Nearby, their mother and six other chicks were anxiously waiting for them -- pacing, peeping, clearly distressed. I called the police, who kindly transferred me to the fire department, but the dispatcher made me feel silly for caring and dismissed the situation entirely. Where I come from, helping vulnerable animals is part of who we are as a community. It was painful to see such little empathy shown here, especially with a frightened family of birds hoping for help. I truly hope Miami's emergency services can embrace more compassion for all living creatures.

In front of City Hall is always my favorite place to catch the annual Fourth of July parade. City Hall was even featured in the opening scene of the comedy There's Something About Mary when it doubled for Cumberland High School in Rhode Island where Ben Stiller's Ted first spots Cameron Diaz's Mary. As beautiful as Plantation City Hall is, it is never grander than in December when it is trimmed in lights, garland, and wreaths, and serves as the backdrop for Plantation's holiday decorations. Young and old are enthralled with the huge Christmas trees, photo op in front of a gingerbread house, and multiple lighted decorations across both sides of the lawn. The standout feature of the display is a large, open castle frame strung with candy colored lights that children enjoy running through. I love that the City of Plantation sets this display up for the community to enjoy every holiday season.

My septic tank never had a problem and worked just fine but City is tapping its residents with this urgent change when things have been working just fine . Especially since everyone is hard up for money and now this at this time when I don't even want or need this mess. At city hall they do not return calls, I called this guy running this project 3 weeks ago and he never returned the call . I had to threaten to call his supervisor before a call was done . Also there was another lady who would not return calls too regarding grants. When you bark loud enough and say you will call supervisor they finally call back . Ridiculous the city runs this way and very frustrating when you need answers.If I could give the city a one and a half minus I would.
