Gulfstream village , vacant decrepit sections. I don't care for the track much. Better than nothing.

I went back there in 2016 trying to prove Thomas Wolfe was wrong. I failed.

It's completely his generosity. I'm nobody.

If you walk in off the street, they're looking for $2500.00 a race. If it's just you or 2 or 3 friends. They're looking for $20,000 daily churn to play there. 2k a race

You serious?

If you think back to yourself in your 20's or 30's and you could build your dream racetrack, you would have dreamed Gulfstream. What Frank Stronach build was his dream.

A track, a casino, world class restaurants, night clubs, brand name stores like William-Sonoma, crate & barrel.
your own 300 seat steakhouse named Franky's. On and on, a bowling alley, a theatre! 😆. F'ng crazy dream . But it hasn't clicked, it never took off. Most of the restaurants gone, empty stores,.... And lets not forget this multi million.. $50 million? 55?

I guess I should be glad I spent four great Winters there in the 90s.

May whatever influence you have at NYRA be effective in keeping us from needing to write the same way about Belmont/Aqueduct once the rebuild/consolidation is done!

We have been seeing some of the same things down here this season given the direction things are taking at Oaklawn, sad to say.

Suff, you take a good picture. You have a good eye.
I don't know if you are taking hundreds and just picking out the 5-10 best or what, but these are mostly nice pictures, the perspective. It may be flawed in many ways but the pictures make me want to make my first visit to GP.

I'm visual. And I'm an explorer. I have the Google pixel 7 , just for the camera.

I left Gulfstream & went over to Surfside. Do you remember when Champlain Towers collapsed 18 months ago? I was curious what's going on there so I went by to explore this weekend.

Largest boat & Yacht show in the world. This is Grove Key Marina in the Coconut Grove section of South Miami...I took this because I like the backdrop of the Miami Skyline.

This is Flickers. (next to le tub) if you been.. it's down the street from Gulfstream park. This is known as north lake or Stranahan river .. 1/4 mile west of hallandale -hollywood beach. On the intercoastal

I was rail leaning next to Joe Bravo, riders stopped said hello and I took photos.
