A Better Idea for West Palm Beach

Yeah, I've been lax.  Almost 3 years since the last post.

Anyway, new job, new office.  My window faces Flagler Drive, overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach.  Pretty cool.  Except, the City of West Palm Beach seems to think Flagler Drive is not a thoroughfare.  Instead, the City thinks it is a party ground.  For the last week and through May 6 it is the home of "SunFest."  All day long, through conference calls, meetings and trying to read legalese, sound checks at the sound stage just outside my office window.  Loud sound checks.  No song, just parts of songs.  Not good.

I have a better idea, City of West Palm Beach.  Move SunFest to the South Florida Fairgrounds.  Ditto all those other waterfront festivities.  Let me drive on Flagler Drive.
