Memorial Day Weekend 2009




Season in Florida is at an end and the kids are starting to get out of school and romp around the town for the Summer.

In South Beach it is "Urban Weekend" a.k.a. "Hip Hop Weekend"...the police put up barriers and close off areas and streets. There is a "paddy wagon" ready to take people away and the dress (or is it the undress) code consists of really short skirts/shorts/dresses (sometimes without panties) and really high heels and lots of "bling" ... baggy pants, no shirt, tank tops, t-shirts, lugz, timbs, grill, chains ... loud music ... We get a large group of tourists with less revenue to the local businesses. Some businesses make less money this weekend and some choose to close.
Whatever your opinion, I welcome them to area and deal with it. I do have fun with some of the people when they are down and the women are usually the ones that have and spend the money with the occasional pro sports athlete or singer/rappers making a cameo....

My godson finished school this week and he received some awards. We are having a BBQ on Saturday to celebrate. Mr S has to work and we will get together in the afternoon. We are planning to see the new Terminator film on Sunday and Monday will be up in the air, but I want to see Tiffany's show at the Palace.

I am helping Mr S with work this month, and Wednesday I have a Miami Recognition Dinner Meeting....

I hope all of you have a fun and safe weekend. Please take some time to remember, pray and thank all our veterans and soldiers....

Peace.
