Jersey builder wins Don King fronton with $56 million bid | Exclusive

A New Jersey-based homebuilder emerged as the winning bidder for the Palm Beach Jai Alai fronton in a U.S. Bankruptcy Court auction held on Nov. 6. This means the long-vacant property at 1415 45th St. in the town of Mangonia Park soon could become a hub of new housing. The homebuilder is Garden Communities of Short Hills, N.J. An affiliate of Garden Communities known as K & K Developers submitted the winning $56.1 million all-cash bid as part of the fronton's Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization , according to court records and Alvin Goldstein, an attorney for fronton owner DK Arena. DK Arena is an affiliate of the boxing promoter Don King , who introduced the world to names such as Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Mike Tyson. King, 94, is a longtime Palm Beach County resident and lives in suburban Boca Raton. King said in a Nov. 6 court filing that he supported K & K's bid for the property. "I am a prominent boxing promoter. My wife and I intended to turn the property into a sports arena for boxing and other sporting events. The property was never developed. The building is closed off," King said in his statement.

Man 'stole' Cybertruck to guard synagogue, Palm Beach Police say

A man who told Palm Beach Police he took a Tesla Cybertruck from a dealership and drove it to the island to "protect" a synagogue is now facing charges, according to police and court records. Ikeen Scott Peterson, 56, of Jacksonville was arrested Nov. 3 on charges of trespassing; driving with a suspended, canceled or revoked license; and operating an unregistered motor vehicle, court records show. He pleaded not guilty Nov. 5 and remained at the Palm Beach County Jail on Nov. 6 after a judge set his bail at $2,000, according to court records. The morning of Nov. 3, synagogue staff spotted the Cybertruck parked in a driveway at the property, police said. When synagogue staff asked the truck's occupant, who was later identified as Peterson, why he was there, Peterson said that he was a security officer "sent there to work," the arrest report said. Synagogue staff confirmed that information was not accurate and called police, according to the report. About two hours later, an officer spotted the Cybertruck parked in the 200 block of Bradley Place. Peterson confirmed he was the person who had been outside the synagogue, and police found that Peterson's driver's license was suspended,

What Happens After You Report Mosquitoes in Florida?

A resident reports mosquitoes and expects a truck. That is an understandable idea of public service: describe a problem, and someone arrives to remove it. Florida mosquito control does not always work that way. The more consequential response may be an inspector at a gate, a check of the water around a home, or a trap result that suggests the biting insects are coming from somewhere else.
