    Flooded Streets, Big Boats, and a Busy Lauderdale

    Why are Fort Lauderdale streets flooding when we’ve already invested in pumps and drainage? That’s where I’m starting this week’s local roundup, because the answer says a lot about living in a city surrounded by water. I’m Uncle Marv, your Fort Lauderdale neighbor and host, taking a look at the king tides affecting Broward and why even working pumps have their limits. Then I’m heading over to Port Everglades, where the conversation goes beyond cruise vacations to fuel deliveries and the people who keep those ships moving. There’s plenty happening on dry land, too. I’m sharing highlights from the Seafarers’ House Golden Compass Gala, a glass-filled Enchanted Garden in Hollywood, the boat show, and a North Beach block party that gives you a reason to stick around the neighborhood. Here’s what caught my attention, what it means for those of us who live here, and what might deserve a spot on your calendar. === Local news stories Fort Lauderdale King Tides and Roadway Flooding: City of Fort Lauderdale: King Tide UpdatePort Everglades Receives $30.75 Million Federal Grant: Port Everglades: Federal Infrastructure GrantPort Everglades Sets Another Cruise Passenger Record: Port Everglades: Cruise Season Record === Community events Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show: Official Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show WebsiteWMODA Enchanted Garden Opening: Wiener Museum of Decorative ArtsSonic Live in Concert: Broward Center for the Performing ArtsNoBe Sunday Block Party: City of Fort Lauderdale: NoBe Sunday Block PartyArt + Stroll: Business for the Arts Broward: Art + Stroll === Special feature Seafarers' House 30th Annual Golden Compass Award Gala: Seafarers' House: 2026 Golden Compass Gala === Chapters 00:45 King Tides and Flooded Streets03:34 Seafarers’ House and the Golden Compass Gala05:26 Port Everglades’ Fuel Infrastructure Investment08:11 Cruise Growth and Local Impact11:01 WMODA’s Enchanted Garden13:01 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show14:40 Sonic Live at the Broward Center16:47 NoBe Sunday Block Party18:46 Art + Stroll Comes Downtown === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE Title: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5 Website: https://www.letstalklauderdale.com/ Let’s Talk Lauderdale is hosted by Marvin Bee & Jen Stewart.

    Why Some South Florida Homes Sell and Others Sit

    Fifty-two showings. Six months of searching. One family trying to find a home in Parkland. I asked Teresa Schwarz what made that transaction so memorable, and the answer went well beyond finally getting an offer accepted. Teresa is the broker and owner of Lyfe Realty Group, and her South Florida roots go back to growing up in Oakland Park. That long house hunt started with dinner at Brio in Pembroke Gardens and turned into a relationship that would eventually help her own daughter. We also talk about why some local homes are moving while others sit, what buyers should understand about AI-enhanced listing photos, and how she helped a Pembroke Pines homeowner prepare to leave a house full of memories. Teresa shares what she’s seeing in her business, but she’s just as open about the frightening timing of her husband leaving nursing to join her right before COVID hit. It’s an honest look at the people behind the properties and what it takes to help somebody call South Florida home. === Chapters 00:13 Meet Teresa Schwarz of Lyfe Realty Group01:19 Growing Up in Oakland Park03:16 From Optical to Real Estate06:10 How AI Is Changing the Business12:15 Listing Photos, AI Staging, and Seller Prep16:00 Single-Family Homes vs. Condos18:12 Marketing Homes and Finding Financing Options20:52 Building Lyfe Realty Group23:44 Working With Her Husband and Life Outside Work28:07 A Parkland Home After 52 Showings31:14 Where to Find Teresa and Lyfe Realty Group === Guest: Teresa Schwarz, Lyfe Realty Group, Broker / Owner Website: https://lyferealty.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/teresaschwarzlyferealtygroupInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lyfe_realty_group === Local Businesses / Organizations / Nonprofits Gold Coast Schools: https://goldcoastschools.com/Nova High School: https://novahigh.browardschools.com/Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School: https://hmltrojans.org/Miami Dade College: https://www.mdc.edu/Florida International University: https://www.fiu.edu/Memorial Healthcare System: https://www.mhs.net/Regions Bank: https://www.regions.com/Sun Sentinel: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/Miami Heat: https://www.nba.com/heat/Miami Hurricanes: https://miamihurricanes.com/ === Events / Attractions / Venues The Shops at Pembroke Gardens: https://www.pembrokegardens.com/Brio Italian Grille, Pembroke Pines: https://www.brioitalian.com/locations/pembroke-pines/ === Vote for your favorites for the "Best Of" in everything that makes South Florida great South Florida Favorites: https://www.shopsouthfloridafavorites.com/South Florida Favorites voting: https://votesouthflorida.com/ === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE Title: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5 Website: https://www.letstalklauderdale.com/ Let’s Talk Lauderdale is hosted by Marvin Bee & Jen Stewart.

    Can Himmarshee Stay Fun and Get Safer?

    What happens when downtown nightlife, public safety, and local livelihoods all meet on the same block? I’m taking a look at the debate over Himmarshee and why the next move matters to more than the people heading out for a late-night drink. I’m also talking about Broward Animal Care’s crowded shelter, Fort Lauderdale’s approximately $660 million investment in drinking water, and a weekend with plenty of reasons to leave the house. From the museum’s culinary celebration to Hollyweird and Diwali by the beach, there’s a lot happening in our backyard. === Chapters 00:12 Welcome to Let’s Talk Lauderdale01:25 Himmarshee Nightlife and Public Safety04:07 Broward Animal Care’s Adoption Appeal06:12 Prospect Lake Clean Water Center Opens08:11 Museum’s Wine and Culinary Celebration09:52 Hollyweird Halloween in Downtown Hollywood11:07 Diwali at Las Olas Oceanside Park12:38 Beachside Shopping at the Sunday Market14:19 Closing Thoughts and Community Connection === More Information Himmarshee Entertainment District Changes: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/10/22/fort-lauderdale-moves-to-end-himmarshees-rowdy-party-scene-as-part-of-sweeping-crackdown/Broward Animal Care Shelter Overcrowding: https://wsvn.com/news/local/broward/broward-animal-shelter-overcrowded/Prospect Lake Clean Water Center Opening: https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/Residents/City-News/Fort-Lauderdale-Celebrates-Opening-of-Prospect-Lake-Clean-Water-CenterWine, Spirits & Culinary Celebration: https://mods.org/event/30th-annual-wine-spirits-and-culinary-celebration/Hollyweird Halloween: https://www.hollyweirdfestival.com/Fort Lauderdale Diwali Celebration: https://www.parks.fortlauderdale.gov/special-events/diwaliThe MKT at Las Olas Oceanside Park: https://theloopflb.com/events/categories/market/ === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE Title: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5 Website: https://www.letstalklauderdale.com/ Let’s Talk Lauderdale is hosted by Marvin Bee & Jen Stewart.

    What Makes Fort Lauderdale Worth Bragging About?

    Fort Lauderdale deserves a better conversation than “nice beaches.” After a trip to Greenville, South Carolina, I came home thinking about how people talk about the places they love and what we could do better here. I get into Broward’s proposed pause on large data centers, the county’s growing dispute with Sheriff Gregory Tony, and why both stories deserve our attention. Then I turn toward our waterfront, where Seafarers’ House supports the people working aboard the ships we watch sail out of Port Everglades. Add boat show planning, early voting, and Halloween options from Wilton Drive to Snyder Park, and there’s plenty happening beyond the beach. The Halloween lineup gives us some very different ways to get out around town: LauderBOO at Snyder Park is the free family outing on October 24, the weekend before Halloween.Bonnet House’s October 31 daytime event brings together costumes, treats, and a runway that includes pets.Wicked Manors takes over Wilton Drive on Halloween night, with proceeds supporting the Pride Center’s programs and services. === Chapters 00:23 Celebrating What Makes Lauderdale Special02:18 Broward Weighs Data Center Pause03:48 Early Voting Begins Across Broward04:45 Heavy Rain and Beach Hazards06:19 County-Sheriff Dispute Escalates09:07 JetBlue Brings First Class to Fort Lauderdale11:28 Honoring Port Everglades’ Maritime Community14:45 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show Preview17:25 Halloween Events Across Broward22:13 What Makes Broward a Better Place? === Explore the Stories A Quick Downpour, a Big Flooding Risk: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/wet-windy-saturday-night-south-215251934.htmlBroward County and the Sheriff Head Toward a Legal Fight: https://www.wlrn.org/light/law-justice/2026-10-13/broward-county-votes-to-pursue-legal-action-to-access-bso-headquartersJetBlue’s New First-Class Service Puts FLL in the Spotlight: https://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/article317644851.htmlSeafarers’ House — 2026 International Golden Compass Award & Gala Honors: https://seafarershouse.org/golden-compass-award-gala-2026/Boat Show Season Is Back in Fort Lauderdale: https://www.flibs.com/Wicked Manors Takes Over Wilton Drive on Halloween: https://wickedmanors.org/Halloween at Bonnet House: https://www.bonnethouse.org/event/halloween-fest/LauderBOO: https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/Explore-FTL/Event-Calendar/LauderBOO === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE Title: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5 Website: https://www.letstalklauderdale.com/ Let’s Talk Lauderdale is hosted by Marvin Bee & Jen Stewart.

    Who Should Run Broward’s 911?

    Who should answer when Broward residents call 911? That’s one of the bigger questions I’m following in this local catch-up. I’m Uncle Marv, and between running an IT business here and keeping up with life around Greater Fort Lauderdale, I want to know what these decisions actually mean for the people who call this place home. We’ll talk voting, emergency dispatch, and an HOA dispute where pickleball, business contracts, and neighborhood politics collide. There’s also a more personal stop at Jack’s, a burger favorite I found when I moved to Pompano in 1992, plus a Deerfield pizza shop taking a stand against AI. And because October deserves its turn before Christmas decorations take over, I’ve got a couple of Davie fall outings and a downtown Halloween event worth knowing about. === Chapters 00:12 Welcome Back, Lauderdale01:16 Amendment 3 and Broward Voting04:44 Who Should Run Broward’s 911?07:46 West Boca Pickleball and HOA Lawsuit11:12 Jack’s Burgers Eyes Miami12:44 Munchys Pizza Says No to AI15:41 Caviar Club Comes to Las Olas18:01 Christmas Already?

    From Miami to Victoria Park: Dr. Ann Monis’ South Florida Story

    Dr. Ann Monis is the founder and CEO of Transformative Healthcare Solutions, a Fort Lauderdale-headquartered behavioral-health company providing talk therapy and corporate mental-health support across Florida. A Miami native who chose Victoria Park when she was ready to put down roots, Dr. Ann shares why Fort Lauderdale felt like the right balance of energy, community, charm, and a little less Miami traffic. We get honest about the tough side of mental-health care: high deductibles, Medicaid waitlists, insurance session caps, and the fact that healing does not happen on a predictable 12-session schedule. Dr. Ann also talks about building the Florida Mental Health Coalition to help bridge that gap, bootstrapping her business, and why the changing look of Victoria Park brings both excitement and mixed feelings. === Chapters 00:10 Dr. Ann Monis Joins Let’s Talk Lauderdale02:07 Transformative Healthcare Solutions and Talk Therapy03:33 Workplace Culture, Wellness, and Business Realities05:23 Healthcare Staffing and Florida’s Changing Workforce07:11 The Florida Mental Health Coalition and Access to Care09:44 From Law School to Forensic Psychology11:08 The Pro Bono Case That Shaped Her Mission14:57 Why Victoria Park Became Home16:17 Las Olas Favorites and Fort Lauderdale Lifestyle17:16 Building the Dr. Ann Brand and What Comes Next19:42 Bootstrapping a Business as a Woman Entrepreneur21:05 A Book Trilogy and the Next Chapter === Guest: Dr. Ann Monis, Transformative Healthcare Solutions, Founder and CEO Website: https://ths.health/Website: https://www.drann.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ann-monis-mba-psyd-43196b24 === Local Businesses / Nonprofits / Events / Attactions Florida Mental Health Coalition: https://www.floridamhc.org/ChildNet: https://www.childnet.us/Ocean Prime Fort Lauderdale: https://ocean-prime.com/locations-menus/fort-lauderdale/Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, Fort Lauderdale: https://www.eddiev.com/locations/fl/fort-lauderdale/fort-lauderdale-fl/8528Timpano Las Olas: https://www.timpanolasolas.com/Annie Beck Park: https://www.parks.fortlauderdale.gov/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/139/1091Faena Hotel Miami Beach: https://www.faena.com/miami-beach === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE Title: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5 Website: https://www.letstalklauderdale.com/ Let’s Talk Lauderdale is hosted by Marvin Bee & Jen Stewart.

    Publix BOGO, Brightline Safety, and Big City Tavern’s Last Call

    I’m back with a packed Greater Fort Lauderdale update, and there is a lot going on from the grocery aisle to the railroad crossings. I dig into the Publix BOGO rule that has Florida shoppers asking why they have to buy two items when customers in other states can often get one for half off. It turns out it is not a Florida law. It is Publix policy, and that little detail matters when everybody is watching the grocery bill. I also talk about AutoNation’s Drive Pink milestone, Brightline and BSO’s push for safer rail crossings in Pompano Beach, and the bigger-than-expected enrollment decline in Broward County Public Schools. Plus, there is restaurant news from East Las Olas, including the pending closure of Big City Tavern after 25 years, Yardbird’s Chapter 11 filing, a few good eats from my work travels, and easy local ideas for getting out this fall. === Chapters 00:11 Welcome and South Florida Headlines00:38 Publix BOGO Frustration in Florida02:08 AutoNation’s Drive Pink Milestone03:10 Brightline Rail Safety and Broward School Enrollment05:43 Work Travel Update and Restaurant Stops06:43 Turning Point Breakfast in Viera09:03 Chicago Dining: Gibsons and Shoeless Joe’s10:58 Big City Tavern Closing and Yardbird Chapter 1113:30 Fall Events Around Fort Lauderdale16:45 Fern Forest Nature Center and Easy Local Escapes === News Stories Publix BOGO: https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2026/09/17/heres-why-bogo-rules-at-florida-publix-stores-are-different/AutoNation DRV PNK 10-Year Announcement: https://newsroom.autonation.com/autonation-news/autonation-news-details/2026/AutoNation-Celebrates-10-Years-of-DRV-PNK-with-1-Million-in-New-Cancer-Grants-and-More-than-50-Million-Raised-and-Donated-Nationwide/default.aspxBrightline and BSO Rail-Safety Campaign: https://www.gobrightline.com/press-room/2026/brightline-launches-national-see-tracks-think-train-week-with-broward-sheriffs-office-211-broward-and-community-partnersBroward Schools Enrollment Decline Report: https://www.wlrn.org/education/2026-09-22/new-report-shows-12-300-enrollment-decline-for-broward-schools-larger-than-first-day-countBig City Tavern Closure Report: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/09/17/big-city-tavern-closing-after-25-years-on-fort-lauderdales-las-olas-boulevard/Yardbird Chapter 11 Report: https://www.nrn.com/casual-dining/yardbird-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy === Events / Attractions / Venues National See Tracks?

    What Amendment 3 Could Mean for Fort Lauderdale

    I took a break from the usual interview format for a special Saturday edition of Let’s Talk Lauderdale, because there was a lot happening around Broward that deserved more than a quick scroll-by. We start in Pembroke Pines with a leadership change at Children’s Harbor, where Teresa Kennedy steps in as president and CEO of the organization supporting teens, families, and young adults navigating foster care, trauma, and the road to independence. Then I dig into Florida’s proposed Amendment 3 and what it could really mean for homeowners in Fort Lauderdale and across Broward. Yes, the promise of a bigger homestead exemption sounds good, but there is another side of the conversation: what happens to city services, parks, emergency response, maintenance, and local budgets if municipalities lose a major piece of their property-tax revenue? I also run through some solid Labor Day weekend options, including the Fort Lauderdale Home Show, North Beach festivities near A1A, bacon and barbecue in Margate, a Dolly Parton tribute at Savor Cinema, and more. === Chapters 00:00 Special Saturday local news roundup01:36 Children’s Harbor names Teresa Kennedy as CEO04:07 Amendment 3 and Florida homestead tax changes08:31 What Amendment 3 could mean for Fort Lauderdale services11:06 Fort Lauderdale Home Show at the Convention Center12:58 Labor Day festival at North Beach near A1A14:30 Bacon, Beer, and Barbecue Festival in Margate15:44 Remembering Dolly at Savor Cinema17:04 September 11 Memorial Concert in Hollywood18:07 More Broward arts and culture events === People Mentioned Teresa Kennedy, Children’s Harbor President and CEO: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresa-kennedy-858312151Tiffani Dhooge, Children’s Harbor former President and CEO: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanidhoogeBen Sorensen, City of Fort Lauderdale Vice Mayor: https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/HomeMalcolm Flavell, James Malcolm Band: https://bio.to/jamesmalcolmbandSylvia Rose Aycock, Broward Women’s Chorus director: https://bwcchoralgroup.org/ === Local Businesses / Organizations / Nonprofits Children’s Harbor: https://childrensharbor.org/Kristi House: https://kristihouse.org/ChildNet: https://www.childnet.us/City of Fort Lauderdale: https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/HomeFort Lauderdale Parks and Recreation Department: https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/Explore-FTLSpotlight FTL: https://spotlightftl.com/My Family Matters Foundation: https://myfamilymattersfoundation.org/Broward Public Library Foundation: https://www.bplfoundation.org/South Florida Chamber Ensemble: https://www.sflcemusic.com/History Fort Lauderdale: https://historyfortlauderdale.org/Broward Women’s Chorus: https://bwcchoralgroup.org/ === Events / Attractions / Venues Fort Lauderdale Home Show: https://www.homeshows.com/Labor Day Festival: https://www.fortlauderdale.gov/Explore-FTL/Event-Calendar/Labor-Day-FestivalDoc Reno’s Bacon, Beer & BBQ Festival: https://docsbaconfest.com/Remembering Dolly at Savor Cinema: https://www.bplfoundation.org/remember-dolly-at-savor-cinemaSeptember 11 Memorial Concert: https://www.sflcemusic.com/Timeless Tropics: Florida’s Changing Landscape: https://historyfortlauderdale.org/archives/8009Tito Puente Jr. & His Orchestra: The Music of Tito Puente: https://www.miniacipac.com/events/detail/tito-puente-jr-2026Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center: https://www.miniacipac.com/ === Resources / Books / Podcasts / Apps Broward Public Library Foundation children’s book programs: https://www.bplfoundation.org/History Museum Fort Lauderdale: https://historyfortlauderdale.org/South Florida Chamber Ensemble events and programs: https://www.sflcemusic.com/ === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE Title: Happy Epic And Confident Corporate Background Piece To Suit Health Or DynamicItem ID: 195889930Publisher: Saowakhon BrownComposer: Saowakhon BrownLicense: Individual License, CommercialStock Media provided by TheSaoLady / Pond5
