Scenes from Bryant Park and the Coffee Clutch

Comment Up

Attended by an enthusiastic small group of neighbors who care about Bryant Park, the second coffee was held this morning at the south pavilion. Some of those attending were Susan and Ozzie Ona, Herman and Laurel Robinson, June Evans, Katie and Randy McGiveron, Mark Parrilla, BarbaraJean Weber, Pam Perini, Rosann Malakates and her husband, Marshall Pass, Maurici Luz and Helen Marino. Forgive me if I failed to mention you. We all enjoyed the camaraderie, the coffee and especially Katie's quiche.

Everyone in the neighborhood association is passionate about keeping this beautiful park exactly the way it is depicted in the photos above-- beautiful--free of trash, slum, blight and commerce.

  1. The Park has taken a remarkable transformation since the Sheriff Dept. took action and cleaned it out. Why can't the same actions be taken to clean up our city streets.

  4. We are so lucky to have this beautiful park, but there are problems with homeless, trash and post event clean up. I wonder if the city needs to charge more for events that take place in Bryant Park as the events don't seem to clean up after themselves. PBSO needs to do way more patrolling of the parks.

  5. We really need a law enforcement agency that makes regular patrols in Bryant Park. Not on four-wheelers in a "hey look how cool we are" show for us little folks. But an actual walk-through. Remember how police used to walk around the small towns they patrolled? You know, to get to know people? Why are our police afraid of us? Why won't they say hello and get to know the people they serve? It's not just regrettable. It's dangerous. When you don't know the community, you can't keep it safe. You can't respond quickly to calls. If things don't get better quick, Lake Worth needs to call for better leadership of the deputies serving Lake Worth. At a minimum. And I wouldn't be paying $15 million for this bare-bones service. Not for our small community.
