This department has 18 staff members and an annual operating budget of 9 million dollars along with a budget of 5 to 7 million dollars to create public art. The purpose of the county's cultural arts division is to enrich the cultural arts of the community by developing art with grants, providing public art, education, and offering seminars and workshops. A full list of events can be found on their website. In July of this year Phillip Dunlap from Missouri was named the new director of the Cultural Division. He is looking forward to expanding Broward County's support of cultural diversity and the arts. I recently learned more about the Cultural Division when I entered a contest sponsored by them called Searching for Giants. The Cultural Division has partnered with the Broward County Board of Commissioners, Greater Ft. Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Entercom for the event. Giant inflatable art works are placed in various locations around Broward County. You can take a picture of them and post it to Instagram for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Riptide Music Festival in November. There is still a couple of weekends left to participate. I didn't know very much about the Cultural Division prior to winning the contest. Now that I know more I really wanted to give them a shout out for the great work they are doing on behalf of the arts in Broward County.

Lauderdale-by-the Sea is the cutest little beach town. The founding of the town begins it's history…read morein the 1920's during Florida's land boom years. Many wealthy northerners invested in land in sunny, warm Florida. This was the case here when Boston businessman and developer William F. Moran purchased Lauderdale-by-the-Sea from Henry S. Moody and John C. Gregory. Indiana investor and builder Melvin I. Anglin, who the Anglin Fishing Pier is named for, purchased the platted land from Moran with the intention of staring a new beach side town. The Hurricane of 1926 brought a halt to building but only a year later the town bounced back and Anglin became it's first mayor. Lauderdale-by- the- Sea was incorporated on November 30, 1927. During the Great Depression in 1933 the State of Florida revoked its charter but with the help off Glen Friedt Sr. who came to live in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in 1938, the town was able to be reincorporated on November 30, 1947. Before Melvin Anglin and his wife Sarah passed away, they give the city the land for the town hall and a park to the west of it. Through its years of growth, one of the ways Lauderdale-by-the-Sea has kept its charm is by limiting the height of buildings. While a lot of beach towns allow tall buildings by the beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea incorporated a a building height limit into their charter in 1973. As a result the town has maintained a kind of quaint 1950's look with it's low mid-century modern architecture. Today a mere 6,000 people call Lauderdale-by-the-Sea home. The highlight of the town is the gorgeous beach and the town holds the title of being Florida's number one beach diving capital. There is a coral reef only 100 yards off the beach and the wreck of the SS Copenhagen, a 19th-century British steamship that sank in 1900 after striking a coral reef lies in 25 feet of water off the coast. People enjoy fishing off Anglin's Pier, paddle boarding, kayaking, diving, and snorkeling. El Prado Park is the area's most popular beachfront park. There are a lot of great places to eat off of Anglin's Square including a Mulligans beach House, Anglin's Beach Cafe, and Aruba Beach Cafe. On of my favorite restaurants in town is the Sea Watch located in a historic house on the beach. If you are a tourist there are boutique hotels and resorts steps from the beach. The town's official motto is "Relax...You're Here." That is exactly how I feel every time I come here, refreshed and relaxed. Whether you are a tourist or local you will love this Old Florida beach town.

So you can imagine my expectations going your way the DMV in Oakland Park I was impressed however. Of course there was a line but it moved quickly and the person at the reception area was pleasant, actually helpful. From there it was simple. From start to finish I was there around 1 hour total . No DMV anywhere is "fun" but I have to say this was painless.
