Welcome to Miramar, Florida

I exchanged this picture I took May, 2011 for one I was using before

I live in Miramar with my wife and two young children. I am just getting started here, but I've seen a lot of changes in just the last five years of living in this city. I'd like to chronicle some of those things as well as future events, in writing and with photographs.

For example, look at the intersection of Miramar Parkway with Flamingo Road five years ago and compare that with today. Wow! On one corner we have a CVS, a Hess Station and a business park where part of that cow pasture once resided. What will become of the rest of that huge parcel of cow pasture in the next five years?

On the adjacent corner, a humongous field where there was once brush and trees. What are they going to do with that?

On the third corner, another Florida strip mall. I bought my wife's birthday gift at the Kohl's anchor store there just a few days ago.

Let me know what you think. Your ideas. I'd welcome your participation and contributions as well.

Nice meeting you, and welcome to my city.
