Wordless Wednesday...a Place for Everything

 

The sidewalk along A1A and the beach in Delray was reworked last year. The jury is still out on some of the work that was done but some of the structures that were added fit in well with the beach lifestyle.

 

The showers along the sidewalk were updated and some even have a bowl at the bottom for water for our 4 legged friends.

But these were additions that we’d not seen previously. Many of us weren’t sure if they would be used. The cynics among us wondered who got sold this bill of goods. And so they sat for about 10 months until we saw them being used for their intended use.

And, if you have a particularly large beach towel, this would make a good over-sized towel rack!

Kathy,

Sometimes a great notion is not a great notion.  Our little village built a really nice path for those who don't want to walk in the sand, but still be close to the view.  It is elevated.  I will have to take a picture of it. A

I can see that becoming a problem, people hanging towels, clothes, boards, etc. eventually and them looking very cluttered.  That would probably drive a stager mad, haha.

A great idea, Kathy, and Delray is certainly very forward thinking in its approach even if things are working out quite as intended.

Kathy looks like Delray Beach thought of everything, but everything does come with a price

Good afternoon Kathy. Any device that provides water for dogs is important but this one is odd.

I'm Ok with this and if they did structures for those best creatures on earth, I am also good.

At first glance I thought it was a surf board rack.   But, I don't live close to an ocean beach, so what do I know.

Barbara Todaro who knows, maybe they will catch on!   (yeh sure!)

Donald Urschalitz it's hard to have a day go by that I don't go to the beach.

Sham Reddy it is, isn't it! I think we have more paddle boarders here but the can use them!

Gabe Sanders They should!  It was good to see that they were being used. 

Grant Schneider unfortunately, there's a lot that they didn't do well.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty I hear you!  Most of us figured that someone did a very good sales job. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I hope you will!  I think that the ideas are good but the execution has suffered greatly in some areas.

Brian England too funny!  Actually, they're to be used while the salt water is being washed off. 

Nina Hollander I like that the city is always looking for ways to improve things. 

Hi George Souto I'm not even going to start on the new lifeguard stands!

Hi Sheila Anderson I didn't include a photo of that but yes, there are a few of these dog watering stations around. 

Sharon Lee I call them conversations pieces.

Joe Pryor many still want dogs allowed on the beaches.

The idea may be a new one. It would also be good for hats, Kathy.

I had read where a few million were spent renovating and adding amenities to Delray Beach and hoping to maintain its lovely quaintness and not make it another Fort Lauderdale.
