I love the source you provided for this intriguing bit of info.

Oh wait, you didn't provide a source.

Well anyway it's almost been a year since the last shooting at the Boynton Beach mall, only that was gang related. It seems like in Boca many of the criminals come from other areas to target the wealthy folks that live there.

That is correct. But also, we can't forget the 80s.

They are easily looked up, I was going by living in Europe. We also have relatives who live there and it is popular joke how their news is so dishonest. An interesting figure is the suicide rates there. 2, 3 , and 4 times that of the US. Nice place to live, I'll pass. I would bet those massive numbers of suicides, many are just poorly invested homicides.

I was very involved in that.

New report says that both victims were tied up and shot at point blank range, execution style.

As well, there is a push to boycott the mall since the Boca Raton Police Dept, new of the incident 15 hours before releasing the details.

Thanks for telling me about the boycott, even though I live in West Palm Beach I will make it my duty to go to the mall and shop asap.

Why would they boycott the mall if it has absolutely no affiliation with the police department. (and VERY rarely do I use that smiley, I hate that smiley)

If you want a REAL choice in Latina women, you need to move to Dade!

The Treasure Coast doesn't even begin to compare to any of the three South Florida counties when it comes to this.

There is nothing special about Boynton Town Center, lol. Boynton Town Center looks like Tradition, or the conceptual plans for downtown Port Saint Lucie.... or any other "cluster commercial" development with a Target, Linens and Things, etc. etc. in Vero Beach and Jensen Beach.

All malls except Boca Town Center and the Gardens Mall (which I prefer over Town Center) are basically the same middle class stores. Plus, the good thing about the Treasure Coast is that you can travel half an hour to the Gardens if you want.

Oh, and I've yet to hear of anyone getting carjacked, bound, or shot with their 8 year old child at the Indian River or Treasure Coast malls. As much as I like Palm Beach, I feel 20X safer ANYWHERE on the treasure coast - from the roads to the stores - than PBC (except Fort Pierce, lol).

I said there are "plenty of parks." There are several riverside parks, there are nature preserve parks, uncrowded beach parks, etc. etc. etc. Okeehelee park is great, I'll give you that much. I just don't think "better parks" is a huge deal.

Just one crazy guy's opinion!!!!

>>>"""WAY TO MANY HOUSES FOR SALE IN PC"""<<<<

The ""Russian"" population is more than I care to see, all in one place...

PC, is a ticky tacky place, that I wouldn't live in, even IF you paid the rent...

I lived in Plantation Bay, off I-95 exit 278 [&273], and feel I am familiar with the area, and choose NOT to live there any more...."""EVER""....""PERIOD""..

PC, is the remenant of a long ago development that never got developed, PROPERLY......above ground power poles, no curbings on the streets....streets in poor shape from 30 years ago...water in the ditches for misquitos to breed...fire hazard pine trees in your back yard....
Insurance rates sky high.....
The only people that would live there is some dumb immigrant who'd be happy to have a place in America...at any price....""CHEAP""...

Property prices will fall more than 75% in PC by 2012!!!!
