Community News

Broward's resilient as ever after last weekend's flash floods dumped up to 10 inches in Pompano Beach and Deerfield—streets turned rivers, but cleanup's underway. Brighter spotlight: The Broward County Convention Center's expansion just opened, boosting events and our economy (hello, rising downtown values!). Plus, local orgs are rallying for Hurricane Melissa relief—drop supplies at Miramar's drive . Heartfelt stuff that reminds me why this community's unbeatable.
