Listen "Florida’s Booming & Broward's Oldest City"
Episode Synopsis
Marv and Jen take listeners on a lively journey through South Florida’s evolving landscape, starting with a dive into the beloved (and sometimes forgotten) Hollywood Sportatorium—the venue that hosted everyone from Sting to Madonna but never caught its big sports break. The pair reminisce about legendary local events, missed concert experiences, and what’s become of famous spots now replaced by supermarkets and marinas.Switching gears, they break down a new national report placing Florida cities at the forefront of financial prosperity. Learn why North Port is booming, what’s drawing people to Tamarac and Palm Coast, and how population and housing surges are remaking the map. Jen and Marv spice up the conversation by unraveling Dania Beach’s claim as the “Tomato Capital of the World,” sharing quirky festival history, and pondering what made the city’s Danish roots so vital.People, Places & Things Mentioned: Hollywood Sportatorium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_SportatoriumNorth Port, Florida: https://www.northportfl.gov/Tamarac, Florida: https://www.tamarac.org/Homestead, Florida: https://www.cityofhomestead.com/Palm Coast, Florida: https://www.palmcoastgov.com/Fort Myers, Florida: https://fortmyers.gov/Deerfield Beach, Florida: https://www.deerfield-beach.com/Boynton Beach, Florida: https://www.boynton-beach.org/Dania Beach: https://daniabeachfl.gov/Little Salt Spring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Salt_SpringBiscayne National Park: https://www.nps.gov/bisc/index.htmPigeon Key: https://pigeonkey.net/
