Whose idea was it to take a Bakery Tour on a Saturday morning?
1 day ago
The identity of the mystery genius is unclear. Who came up with the idea? But, anyway, we did it, five of us, in one car, including a brave driver, who paid for it all. Our guest of honor was a young baker, a graduate of the CIA, and the pastry chef at a café/restaurant in

Palm Beach pedestrian street deteriorated

Palm Beach pedestrian street deteriorated
I was walking the Palm Beach strip yesterday. And to my surprise I feel the area has deteriorated rapidly.
Certain parts of the sidewalks are in such state of deterioration, it is just waiting for a person to trip and fall. Some hotels could do a better job on there street front lawn and tree landscaping. The grass at the park in front of RIU Antillas is brown, use to be lush and green previous years.
There is literally trash at certain sections of the palm beach strip sidewalk in front of the hotels. I mean that is the first impression of their property. Don’t the managers not order maintenance several times a day outside their property?
The amount of electric steps placed on the sidewalks is astounding, totally out of control and an ugly site. Where is regulation? People are driving the electric steps on the sidewalk almost hitting tourists? They should be on the streets.
Lastly the amount of stickers placed on streetlights and signs on the Palm Beach strip makes the whole area look ghetto. Why are they not removed by property management?
I have attached an image in the e-mail.
I just don’t know who to forward the observations too. Bought thought about you first because of your local network in the tourism sector. Aruba is selling itself as a five stars destination, but the Palm Beach hotel strip needs to get its act together. It does not look good at all.
Warm regards,
