FORBES FREAKS ON PALM BEACH COUNTY


Kiddies, my little rant about building management not being so lovely yesterday pales in comparison to the scathing report in, Forbes, about Palm Beach County.

Not afraid to pull punches the report slammed the area and even compared it to Flint, Michigan; blah, blah, blah!

So, Forbes, here is my personal list of the good, the bad and the ugly of living in Palm Beach County.

Let us start with the ugly because that's way more funner (yep, I love making up words, so just go with it). Oh, this stuff is just off the top of my head, imagine how fabulous these lists would be with some genuine thought!!

THE UGLY...
#Expression on the faces of the people who live across the hall from us when they come into contact with us.
#Traffic on I95 (filled with crazies).
#Rude people at every turn.
#Staff at Macy's at City Place. They think everyone is a tourist they will never see again.
#Ass-cheeks hanging out on the pool deck of this building.

THE BAD
#ONE major grocery store chain.
#Rude people at every turn (there is a lot of this, so it goes here twice, okay?)
#Arrogance run amuck by entitled people who really should get over themselves.
#Ridiculous real estate prices in the midst of a questionable economic situation.
#DSW has one location in Boca and the closest Pei Wei is in Wellington. What in holy hell? Yes, I'm petty, but I love my shoes and PW.

THE GOOD
#Walking on the beach on Sunday morning with my favorite types.
#Looking at the Atlantic, every day.
#Wearing sandals, year-round.
#Convertible rides under palm trees.
#Saturday morning breakfast at City Diner.
#Meeting some really cool, unsnobby people.
#Searching consignment stores for 'finds'.
#Gorgeous sunsets.
#George at Kona.
#Morton's happy hour.
#Buttercream cupcakes in Miami.
#Strolling down Worth Avenue just to annoy the living hell out of the rich and pretend-rich.
#Living near B for the first time in YEARS.
#Lastly, if you have ever lived in Columbus, Ohio...I need not say more about the beauty of living in Palm Beach County. There is no Utopia, so, SUCK IT, Forbes!
