Go-to guide to all things Broward - Sept 24, 2025

Good Afternoon, Broward! 🌴

Hey there, it’s your local guide to all things Broward. As someone who's called this vibrant stretch of South Florida home for many years, I love diving into the pulse of our community.

🏫 Community Events

Choose Peace Week: Broward County Public Schools are shining with Choose Peace/Stop Violence Week through Friday, partnering with United Way and the Children’s Services Council. The theme, “Speak Life, End Bullying,” has schools like Westglades Middle hosting anti-bullying workshops, peer counseling, and even exercise sessions to boost kids’ well-being. Empowering our youth—love to see it!

🍴 Savor the Flavors: Eat, Dance, Explore!
Tonight, don’t miss Eat Your Heart Out at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (6-9 p.m.). This Heart Gallery chef showdown serves up tastings, live tunes, and a silent auction with beach getaways to bid on—all supporting foster kids.

In Pompano, the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center’s 50th anniversary wraps with free Osceola Brothers performances through Sunday—think drums, dance, and rich history.

BAMM’s still buzzing! Grab discounted tix for MODS’ dino exhibits or Butterfly World’s flutter fest—family fun before October hits.

🏛️ Business Openings & Developments

The Historic Stranahan House Museum, Broward’s oldest gem built in 1901, is getting a $3M expansion! This Fort Lauderdale icon on Las Olas will stay untouched but gain new amenities and visibility to welcome more visitors. A win for history buffs and our community’s charm!

Entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well—EZ Pilates just swung open its doors on Stirling Road in Hollywood, promising family-friendly classes that make wellness feel like a neighborhood hangout.

💼 Job Ops Heating Up

Construction’s booming with job calls for electricians ($20-27/hr) and carpenters ($16-21/hr) across Dade-Broward. 

🚨 Public Safety: Fighting Fraud

Kudos to our Broward County Property Appraiser’s Office, making national waves with their anti-deed fraud tools showcased at a recent conference. Property fraud’s a real issue in South Florida—criminals try to file fake deeds to steal ownership.
