City of Boca Raton installing seven doggie bag stations as a pleasant reminder to pick up the poop. Dog walkers rejoice as now the dog park isn't their only option for spending time with their furry friends. This solution comes out of the the past two city meetings where residents were wanting to be more dog friendly. The restaurants of Mizner are already so dog friendly that they have treats on the menu for canine friends. Any violators of this picking up the poop movement will be hit with fines, so all must remember the doggie bag stations are not just street decorations. The poop issue only received a few passing complaints, most agreed it will be a great benefit to Mizner's residents, four and two legged.

The Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue Department recently traveled to Indianapolis to prepare for emergencies in an entire new way.

Five members of the county’s Fire-Rescue team attended the Fire Department Instructor’s Conference (FDIC), which drew an impressive 31,000 rescue personnel from around the world. 

The FDIC has 80 years of experience training fire and rescue service workers. There are hundreds of classroom sessions, hands-on training, workshops, and over 900 companies participating in showcasing the latest products, technology and services.

With rising gas and food prices, college tuitions, higher utility bills, what can you do to make ends meet? Even if you earn a salary of $40,000+ today it doesn’t seem like enough to get by with the higher costs of living. Second jobs seem to be the wave of the future.

Creatively she started doing contract work in those

Florida roads soon could be up for bid, according to “Land Line”, a business magazine aimed at those in the trucking industry. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist said he is considering turning some highways over to private groups, in hopes of plugging a $1.1 billion hole in the state budget.http://www.dot.state.fl.us/ “I don’t know if it’s good or bad at this point, but I think it’s important to continue to be innovative,” Crist told The Associated Press.

People in Palm Beach County spent a large portion of their paychecks in 2007, on housing. In 2000, Palm Beach homeowners with mortgages spent 24 percent of their gross income on housing, which has risen to 35 percent in 2007, according to the U.S. census data, that was just released.

Homeowners in Palm Beach and Boca Raton have been squeezed to spend more of their paychecks on housing due to rising interest rates, higher insurance and the increase in property taxes.

The difference between salaries and affordable housing could hurt South Florida's desirability, even with the recent drop in home prices.

Has everyone breathed a sigh of relief that mighty Hurricanes Dean and Felix, in their trek across the Caribbean and the Gulf, never set his sights on Florida? I don’t wish any such storm on anyone, but am feeling particularly lucky that we didn’t have to deal with those two storms in Boca Raton or any of our beautiful South Florida neighborhoods. St    ill, as the first large hurricanes of the 2007 season, Dean and Felix were a good reminder for each of us to ask ourselves: How prepared am I?
