Businesses preparing for onslaught of visitors to the Annual Street Painting Festival in Lake Worth

Comment Up

Downtown businesses are hustling and bustling to get ready for the biggest signature event of the year--

The Street Painting Festival

which will be held on Saturday and Sunday in Lake Worth.  Hopefully, merchants will make a lot of money, bars and restaurants will be filled day and night and the neighborhood associations will get lots of big tips for serving beer.

Tables, chairs and umbrellas have been placed in the alleyway adjacent to CJ's Bar and Grill. Someone has closed off the alleyway and are prepared to use it. A source tells me it all belongs to CJ's. The Sustainability Director has no knowledge of this and says, "To my knowledge no one has been given an exception including CJ's. And we have neither received nor reviewed a right of way use permit for this area."


Now I will have to hear from some of you saying, "Oh give the guy a break; he's just trying to make money...it's a special event..you're always so negative."

There must be some departments not talking to other departments. City staff did this.

Well, of course they would close the alley as no cars can get on Lake or Lucerne. They didn't put out the furniture.
