Random Memorial for Monday 7/17/17

Gone but not forgotten:  the "biggest and baddest" Schlitterbahn that was supposed to come to Ft. Lauderdale.

The word "supposed" is used in that opening gambit because a judge recently ruled that the proper bidding process was not used to grant the go-ahead to move forward with the plans to develop the old stadium property in the north of town that way -- which means that us SoFlo folks will have to seek our water fun elsewhere.  Luckily, there's an *ocean* nearby.

That which would have let us Schlitter to our hearts content, you will (quite literally) be missed.

JUDGE KILLS THE DEAL DEAD -- OR AT LEAST REQUIRES IT TO START AGAIN:
