• Casinos Are a Kid's Best Friend

  If only every town in Florida had a casino. Then our little tykes in need might have some Christmas dough to spend and sports teams to join.The lucky little ones in Hallandale Beach have Gulfstream Park, the horse racetrack and casino. Although they're not yet old enough to play poker or tug on the one-armed bandit at Gulfstream, these kids can do what few of us can:reap the riches of the gambling gods.

• Casino Files for Bankruptcy, Promises to Continue Feeding Broke Gamblers

  Gulfstream's hiding $44 million under its barrel.The owners of Gulfstream Park have filed for bankruptcy, causing broke gamblers who have also filed for bankruptcy to wonder where all their lost gambling money went. Gulfstream's owner, Magna Entertainment Corp. of Ontario, promises that it will continue to operate the casino and racetrack in Hallandale Beach as it restructures its debt, which is like that time I ordered a round of drinks for the bar, figuring incorrectly that casino security wou

• It's the Battle of Tattooing!

  (Sadly, only the biggest of my fellow Star Wars dorks will catch the pun in that headline. Anyway...)On one side of this intergalactic conflict, the Florida Professional  Tattoo Artists Guild. The nonprofit corporation has been active in legislative issues that affect the state's tattoo industry since the early 1990s. More recently, it drafted a bill that's being sponsored by Hallandale Beach Sen. Eleanor Sobel. It would provide a framework for the licensure of tattooists. But the guild con

• It's Time to Ditch DROP

  I'm speaking of the Deferred Retirement Option Program that made such a lucrative payout to Hallandale Beach City Manager Mike Good. He's not the only public official getting rich from this excessively generous policy. In editorials yesterday and last Sunday, the Orlando Sentinel lists officials who stand to be paid like "AIG executives." The paper called on Florida policymakers to join with other states in terminating the program, which allows a public official to retire, so as to collect a pen

• Gulfstream and Mardi Gras at Odds Over Gambling Bills

  If you're looking for a safe investment in this rough recession, I'd consider betting on gambling. Both the Florida House and Senate are considering new legislation that would ease restrictions on gambling in this state. At the same time, horse tracks like Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach are anxiously awaiting different legislation passed in the House this week that would open the door for a previously moribund industry in Florida: quarter horse racing. Meanwhile officials from pa

• Eats for Under $7: Rice Balls and Spinach Rolls at Carini's

  You'll have to do a little ordering at Carini's to get a filling "meal" for under $7, but it's worth the effort. Carini's is a New York-style pizza joint on Federal Highway in Hallandale Beach worth visiting for the cheap appetizers alone. The mini rice balls (which are about the size of an apricot) are stuffed with cheese and beef before being battered and fried. The result is stunning: a light and crispy outside with soft gooey cheese-infused rice on the inside. If you tire of the rice balls b

• Eats for Under $7: Turkey Burger From Flashback Diner

  Technically, you'll need just a little more than $7 to enjoy a burger at Flashback Diner, as the menu price is $6.99, so with tax and tip you'll be a little over budget. If you can scrounge up the extra couple of bucks, though, it's not a decision you'll soon regret. Flashback Diner is an old school greasy-spoon-type eatery, and it's open 24 hours, giving you a much better late-night option than a fast-food joint does. The menu is loaded with platters and sandwiches with cutesy Hollywood names l

    That's a video of a recent protest by the Broward County Police Benevolent Association, which is turning up the heat on Hallandale Beach City Manager Mike Good for stalling on contract talks with the city's cops. But since that hasn't worked the PBA has moved to Phase II, circulating a big flier that contains this unflattering Juice post about Good.But the PBA might want to be careful giving this blog any free publicity.

But with the FBI now hanging out at Scott Rothstein's law firm, Platinum has to settle for the silver.The bust at Platinum comes seven months after a similar sting operation took down Cheetah in Hallandale Beach.
