Yep - actually have a friend who has a Dixie cup dispenser in the bathroom - I thought they went out in the early 70s...

Re: “Broward County is a liberal sh*hole.”
Believe it or not, Broward County actually voted 80,000 to 60,000 in favor of Barry Goldwater in 1964!
Today, Broward has a population of 2 million. Non-Hispanic whites are just 35% of the residents. Black and Hispanic residents both have 30%.
Putting that in perspective, King County (Seattle) has 2.2 million.

Does this mean the Hershey Highway is heterophobic?

With all the other crap that's wrong in the community, they pursue this.
Unbelievable.

Our city renamed Pierce Rd to Buck Owens Blvd. 7th Standard to Merle Haggard Hwy. Parts of Cottonwood to Martin Luther King Blvd. Guess what I still call them?

22-year old Vice-Mayor
Isn’t that special?
22 years old and he knows everything. He was barely a toddler when America was attacked on 9-11 and he thinks he knows about “Dixie”.

“Painful reminder” for the SJW millennial daughter of a Filipino immigrant.
She's looking to be butthurt, she has no ties or experience to any “civil war” hostilities or transgressions.

How about Dixie County or Dixie Hollins High. Dixie Hollins was the first Superintendent of Schools in Pinellas County, and he was promoting full school year for blacks and to have Certified teachers in Black Schools...
Please liberals, what else do you consider racist, as I really don't want to offend you! 😋 Really, I do to see them have a temper tantrum...😊

PS: Homeless shelters arent the only answer and are not necessarily even close to the best answer, either
Maybe it just looks this way to me because of my particular life experiences, but where you have a vet without a family, or who cant live with their family, some sort of group living might be better. With an acceptable degree of privacy, of course.
One-size-fits-all solutions never do fit all, though, so whatever is done should be presented as options rather than mandates. Liberty.

Broward County used to be condo commando country and solidly Democrat when I lived in SoFla back in the early 90s. My mom is in Palm Beach Country which, like Broward, last voted GOP in 1988 (in Browards case, only by a few hundred votes).
Yes, the Caribs and the South Americans have increased their share of the population, but we will see if that means that Wasserman Schultz ever gets tossed.

Journey also has a song called Dixie Highway. One of my favs. I think I will listen to it tomorrow.
