My comments are based solely on the building and property of Lake Worth City Hall and not on any business that is conducted here.First I wanted to let you know that this address serves as Lake Worth City Hall and Lake Worth Beach City Hall. So basically one property that serves two cities that are right next to each other. The building and property are beautifully kept. The Lake Worth Beach City Library is located across the street. The building itself is an historical place with huge trees lining the property and several art displays as well as memorials to those who died serving this country. There are plenty of concrete and marble benches to sit on as well as nicely manicured lawn, you know with that nice small mini-grass that are at golf courses (lol I don't know else how to explain the grass as I haven't a clue what it's actually called). Next to the war Memorial is a sign explaining the history of the building. I won't give it all away but I will tell you that it started out in 1912 as a wood-framed schoolhouse with about 36 students. You should go visit to find out the rest of the history. I visited when they were closed, which was too bad because there is a small museum inside. As it started getting dark I glanced up at the old-fashioned outside light post just in time to see that it was 6:30pm. All of the sudden the trees and other structures lit up! Not an annoying white light but instead a soft golden glow. I've been here many times before but it never entered my mind to take pictures or to review it. It's a very nice place to either sit down and collect your thoughts, or to sit-down and abandon all of your thoughts and worries. I will be taking pictures next time I go as I didn't even get a chance to tell you about the ⛲ fountains outside. One of which is a fountain you can physically interact with. Looking forward to my next visit.
This has been one of my more intersring reviews on Publix in comparison to others. Upon walking inside the doors of Publix what seemed like a smiling group of Publix associates were all just walking out of the store, including managers. I glanced behind me towards the parking lot and saw all of the associated, managers included, proceed to go and collect every shopping cart that was in the parking lot. I think it's great management to let your employees know that there isn't a job they would ask them to do if they themselves wouldn't do it. I took a few pictures of some department areas and wrote exstensive notes while shopping. Oh btw within 60 seconds of being inside the store we were greeted by a manager who asked if he could help us, we declined, and off I went to take pics and notes. Everything was great particularly the deli which looked very clean. The bathrooms unfortunately were not clean which is why this store didn't earn 5 star review. This is where things get interesting, a manager named Charles politely approached me, asked if he could help and then told me not to take any more photos of the store. I was slightly embarrassed as others could hear but that was it and the pics stopped. Then we started noticing Charles behind us, arms crossed, with a large frown on his face. After following us a few aisles I walked up to ask him why was he doing so. He responded by saying he was making sure I was no longer taking pics of the store. I explained to him that since he had already asked me not to that I had stopped. I then take my phone and notes out to let him know that I'm a very regular user of Google maps review and that I had earned a relatively high ranking within the local community. I then show him the notes I had taken so far which were filled with comoliments about the store. He seemed to cool down after understanding my motive for the pics but again asked that I stop taking any ubtil I get approval from corporate. I agreed shook his hand, paid for my items and left promising myself not to let this confrontation have an effect on my overall score. It didn't, this store was very clean and well-maintained, except for the bathrooms weren't clean. (I will post an update if Iearn more about this "photo" rule)
When I attended GCHS it was only the second year the school had been open so it looked awesome and brand new. Unlike some of the less fortunate schools in Collier County. In case you couldn't tell that was definitely a jab towards the other schools. I was class of 2004. The school was built using an unusually high amount of money, which stirred speculation around the state in fact there is only one other school in Florida that used the same building plan. After the second building was built the plans were never used again for financial matters. When the school opened the school zones changed so we were all a population of kids from different high schools interacting for the first time. It went well and we had a large amount of school pride. Our colors were silver, teal, and black. Ugh I have the pride song stuck in my head. Overall I'd say my experience at high school was just like everyone else except mine was at a brand new school. GO SHARKS!!
