Broward Caribbean carnival obstacle

Apparently Gillian Smart in her feature article in the CBD was right: we do need our own facilities as Caribbean Americans here in the South Florida community. View article here.

The city of Miramar voted to reject the plan to host the Broward Caribbean carnival in the city that was hoped for on October 7. The amount of people expected to attend the event and parking issues were among the reasons listed. According to the article the carnival has been bounced around various sites in the past and that counted against it. The rejection went ahead despite the obvious economical and cultural benefits.

This is definitely a blow to the community. See the article in the Sun-sentinel here.
