I don't know what the hours are. Benny's serves until 10pm, I think.
I would think there could be a liability problem with people walking around at night or swimming in the ocean.

East of federal, north of 2nd Ave is safe and it’s gotten nicer through gentrification. Hopefully the Gulfstream will cleanup the Bryant Park area and the professional vagrants will accept the help that’s constantly offered and the enabling will gradually stop?

I would say Lake Worth needs a lot of hard work, and people to assess the problems, and spend the time and money to fix them.

I drove from 4th North earlier to Federal, and I thought my car would fall apart. Is there some reason that street is in such deplorable condition.

That's not the only one, it's just one of the worst.
