Worth Ave – The City of Palm Beach Florida

Palm Beach Counties Worth Ave is the premier luxury shopping destination, it ranks right up there with Beverly Hills, Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, and New York City. You can find a full list of stores on the association website, but we tried to capture the biggest names and the highlights of Worth Ave in pictures. ` Worth Avenue Association President’s Letter Tucked between the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, with parks and fine shops and living walls and hidden vias it’s easy to see that Worth Avenue is more than a shopping enclave; it’s an experience. Our traditions date back 100 years; some of our buildings were designed by renowned society architect Addison Mizner. We can tell you stories about film stars and royalty and rock stars and renegades, but the real story of Worth Avenue begins with its character, its enduring emphasis on community. For years now, Worth Avenue has been giving back to organizations that make life better in South Florida. We clean up area beaches on”Turtle Tuesdays” and we have named the Els for Autism Foundation our charity of choice this year for its work with those on the autism spectrum. Our community service is a core value and gives this special Avenue its heart and sense of purpose. Worth Avenue is defined by its long-term relationships, its friendly service and its relaxed state of mind. We are the hometown shopping street, with people who know their customers by name – the new hallmark of luxury. We know Worth Avenue is about more than shopping; it is an experience of community, one we have cultivated over generations. Those are the qualities that have lasted more than 100 years and that continue to illuminate Worth Avenue. It’s why we all love to work here, and why people come back, again and again. Please allow me to welcome you to Worth Avenue on behalf of all its merchants – we are glad you are here, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Sincerely, Gregg S. Beletsky President, Worth Avenue...

RIP Ben E King – Stand by Me

Best known for writing the lyrics to “Stand by Me”, a song that shaped music, Ben E. King passed yesterday at 76. In reference to today’s generation of musicians, he was quoted as saying, “Those things don’t happen today. I feel sorry for the kids in the industry today. They have on sunglasses, eat caviar in jet planes, but they’ll never know the true feeling that we did.” I was going to make the photo quote of that, but I really didn’t think people would understand… Everyone knows the words to Stand by Me, so it was a more logical choice… When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we’ll see No, I won’t be afraid Oh, I won’t be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me So darling, darling Stand by me, oh stand by...

Edit: This post was updated, and republished. This promotion is almost over, but you can still get a few here Unfinished Business Stock Photos on iStock When “you mouse over” the photo below, this quote from Unfinished Business, “I’ll know it when I see it. But that’s not it.” comes up. And it resonated with me… When people ask how I do what I do, I can give them some points on what to look for, but a lot of it is taste. I base it on what I like, and that doesn’t always work. Some of my post get little or no interaction, and when that happens I learn from it… Original post March 4, 2015: Unfinished Business featuring Vince Vaughn and Dave Franco is a new movie coming out this weekend from Twentieth Century Fox.  The premise of the movie sounds like classic Vince Vaughn: “What began as a routine business trip goes off the rails in every imaginable—and unimaginable—way, including unplanned stops at a massive sex fetish event and a global economic summit.” In a cross promotion effort, Fox and Getty Images have created 12 campy & funny stock images that are free to download – for editorial use only – over 3 weeks.  The first four are available now. I’m not sure who’s idea it was, but I can hear Vince at a meeting going, you know what might be fun… “lets take a bunch of stock photos and give them away fro free…” LMAO I love that guy, and I can’t wait to see the movie…  ...
