It seems everyone loves Broward

For some reason, Miami (Miami Beach, and moreso, South Beach, specifically) has some huge grudge against Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) and the citizens of Miami have this incredible superiority complex toward Broward County (Fort Lauderdale's) and its citizens. Well, about a year ago, when I first let it be known that I was planning on relocating from South Beach (Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County) to Broward County (the neighbor to the north), my dear friend Mrs. Astor said that I couldn't be serious about moving up there. I believe one phrase was, "That's where the elephants go to die."

Imagine my surprise when last evening, while sipping her ___teenth glass of red wine, our lovely New England aristocrat declared again (after first shocking me with the statement on Sunday) that she is considering heading up there herself!

Well, darling . . . either you're time has come and you're joining the great grey creatures or your chasing my tail up there. Hmmmmmmmm . . .
