  1. It was okay on South Beach. There but not overwhelming by any means. It was worse up by Delray. We were able to hang in the water without it bothering us too much.
  2. Yeah... we basically drove all the way from Wellington to Mar-a-Lago and turned right. Then drove allll the way down to Delray. When you come up to Briny Breezes you're like, what in the world is this place? But, in a way, after passing mega mansions and fantasyland, it felt refreshing.
  3. Free show tonight... and tomorrow night...
  4. Why Juneteenth matters...
  5. So, we visited family in two different parts of Florida. My hot takes of the beaches we visited in this trip in order of "best" to "worst" (although I don't want to necessarily use the term "worst"). My opinion - I know this is very subjective. Jupiter Beach over by DuBois Park Miami Beach / Lummus Park Lauderdale by the Sea Ponce Inlet Delray Beach Daytona Beach proper ...bonus beach Bay St. Louis in Mississippi. Great little town, given its virtual rebuilding because of Katrina, everything is new and charming. Its an odd mix of a very red town that doesn't necessarily act red. Surprising number of bars per capita. White sand beaches but, man, I was not going to get in that water. Re: Wellington and that general area. Man, it was not for me. Everything perfect and manicured and gated and just felt too sheltered. Is it a really nice area? Yeah. Tons of money there. TONS. But my son and I had the same visceral reaction when we arrived. It felt kind of soulless. If I lived in the area, I would absolutely opt for Jupiter or, if I had the money, the Prospect Park area (what a great neighborhood). Oh... what's up with Briny Breezes? Oddly charming. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12073385/Inside-small-Florida-mobile-home-community-Briny-Breezes.html
  6. Nope... "Fluminense Football Club (Brazilian Portuguese: [flumiˈnẽsi futʃiˈbɔw ˈklubi]) is a Brazilian sports club based in the neighbourhood of Laranjeiras, in Rio de Janeiro, being the oldest football club in the state since its foundation in 1902. It competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the first tier of Brazilian football, and the Campeonato Carioca, the state league of Rio de Janeiro. The word "fluminense" is the gentilic given to people born in the state of Rio de Janeiro."
  7. Been on the Gulf side but family is on the Atlantic so... Also @locodos fully agree with LBS. It is a very underrated but fantastic little town. Was packed in Monday night.
  8. Dubois Park and Jupiter was an excellent suggestion. We started the morning in the lagoon and then made our way across the parking lot to the beach to play around in the waves. Ended up eating at Guanabanas was that amazing view and vibe. Afterwards we drove for maybe 15-20 minutes and Jupiter looks like a great area in general.
  9. If one of the "choises" is lengua, the place is legit
  10. Amazing views for a bite and $5 margaritas on Mondays. Are they the best margaritas? Well, they're $5 and probably better than most $12 margaritas in Florida. https://www.guanabanas.com/
  11. Oh... man... prices in FL in general are higher than anticipated although its not like I'm staying in a broke-ass area. But even up in the Daytona/Ponce Inlet area. I feel like I can find cheap food in Austin. Was laughing at walking past a pretty basic looking restaurant on Washington Avenue yesterday and, as we walked towards Lincoln, I glanced at their menu board. Barbacoa taco plate for $28 !?
  12. Going to check out Jupiter today. Delray most likely tomorrow. Miami Beach was great yesterday - everyone should do the beach in front of Lummus at least once. Honestly, if you can avoid the more heavy party part of South Beach (around Mango's, etc), I like it. I'm talking further up by 12th/13th and up. Beach is pretty chill, less of a circus.
  13. Family told me lots of shops and stuff there
  14. My experience, too... I like seeing shows there. Good food (tacos from the truck are legit albeit overpriced), lots of space and usually good times. I'm a fan of going there for shows or the occasional wrestling match. Those are a lot of fun!
  15. There were several last week that said 38 and then 19. Must have fixed it. Still not a conspiracy
  16. Damn, dude. Scary stuff. BTW, going into July...
  17. June's looking niiiice...
  18. People look for a conspiracy behind every tree. Maybe its just a bunch of idiots. Funny thing is that some of those articles say 38 and then link to 19 in the story. And they also count things like people drowning while out paddleboarding. People see the headline and immediately assume every one was mysterious.
  19. That looks like a cool place
  20. Any suggestions of good beaches within an hour of Wellington, FL? I've been as far as Lauderdale by the Sea and Boca. What else is around there. Something chill and not too expensive.
  21. Y'all, I've been waiting for everybody to tell me those pictures were a joke. But they're not? Really? Goats.
  22. Have to keep Becks Prime running, amirite?
  23. Hey y'all, our friends are playing the main indoor stage at Luckenbach tomorrow night. C'mon out for the show... I'll be the Italian https://holdmyticket.com/event/433698
  24. Koko's closing next to Central Machine Works was a gut punch!
  25. I said I don't eat oysters but that's not true. Broiled, fried? That's a different story. Will be in NOLA soon and you know I'll have broiled oysters.
