Welcome to Litsy!

Since living in South Florida, I‘ve attempted to stay away from the Palm Beach area for a many reasons. This book, well researched and interesting, has supported every reason I stayed away. Extreme greed, narcissism, silicone and plastic surgery are rampant in one of the wealthiest areas in the United States.The values that these Uber rich have are the antithesis of me. I liked the book, but the details of these people‘s lives were cringeworthy.

I lived near these palms for about eight years - two decades ago. That familiarity grabbed my eye at the bookstore today. But, ultimately, it wasn't rated well enough to spend money to buy.

#RiotGrams Day 7: #MyLocalLibrary

This is the library closest to me in downtown West Palm Beach. It's a city library and the parking is awful, so I most often go to a county branch instead, but it was a beautiful and welcome addition to our downtrodden city several years ago.
