New Businesses in Wilton Manors

Painting with a Twist - Wilton Station
Several new businesses have opened in Wilton Manors in recent weeks, which will surely compliment the established ones.  Painting with a Twist recently opened on the ground floor of Wilton Station.  They offer group painting classes and encourage customers to bring their own "twist" in the form of alcohol.  Classes are for beginners too, so don't be timid if you lack artistic flare. 


Dr. Lozada-Cruz Wilton Station
Another business that has also opened on the ground floor of Wilton Station is Dr. Brenelly Lozada. Dr. Lozada opened her practice in suite 104 and she specializes in Oncology, Hematology & Internal Medicine.

Infinity Lounge (No relation) is now open on the ground floor of The Gables at 2184 Wilton Dr.  Also, directly across the street at the previous Wings N Things, construction is moving swiftly on what is rumored to be an Asian inspired restaurant.

Oakland Park raises taxes but not as much as first proposed

It wasn't all bad news for residents of Oakland Park, FL. Faced with a 6.9% increase in its tax rate, commissioners rejected the rate and instead imposed a lesser one.  The tax rate was increased by 5% to make the new rate $6.31 per every $1,000 of assessed value.  Plantation residents weren't so lucky.  Amid an outcry from its residents, City Commissioners raised the tax rate a whopping 22%!!

Developers pitch indoor ski slopes in Sunrise, Florida.

No, the title is not a misprint. Developers are pitching an indoor winter theme park in Sunrise, Florida close to Sawgrass Mall.  The theme park will offer skiing, snow boarding sledding, snow mobiling, ice skating, among other activities.  The pitch is sure to attempt to "piggy back" off of business from the Bank Atlantic Center (soon to be renamed BB & T Center) where the Florida Panthers play their home games.  We have heard these "theme parks" proposed in the past but none like an indoor winter theme.  Can this become a reality or is this just a developers fantasy?
