Broken promises from the Mayor of Delray Beach and the City Commissioners
Since the 1940’s Bloods Hammock Groves of Delray Beach has stood at the end of Old Germantown Rd., just off Linton Blvd. in Delray Beach.
Bloods is a family owned business and piece of history long touted by the City and the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce.
In 2006 Bloods announced they were closing. The family posted a letter stating that they could not afford to make all of the improvements the City was forcing them to make so they had to move. The landmark business moved to Lantana.
In place of this authentic piece of history, a 3-story professional building is being built built and perhaps 160+ three-story townhouses.
The wildlife who lived there are being driven away and in one day’s time, the large variety of trees and fauna that flourished there for over 50-years are dead.
After promises of stopping development from both our mayor and city commissioners before they were elected, this is what we get. If you haven't seen it, I suggest driving by and taking a look for yourself.

I think the mayor forgot her promises, just like her traffic accident.

Thank you Mary Kay,
Enjoy your directness & common sense.
All of us need to "step-up to the plate" & be responsible. Enough excuses, laziness, apathy, selfishness....
P.D.
