I have lived in South Florida since 1978 and visited often from a young age. I was so fortunate to have been here before the traffic and congestion, housing boom and strip shopping mall phenomenon. I used to drive from work – NW 36th in Miami to a special dentist in North East Palm Beach for 6 months in 1985 every Friday night. It only took a bit over an hour to drive those 75 miles during “rush hour.” There was never any traffic. Now that drive would be 2 to 2 1/2 hours easily.
