Boca Raton /ˈboʊkə rəˈtoʊn/ is the southernmost city in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States, incorporated in May 1925 (first incorporation in 1924). The 2014 population estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau was 91,332. However, approximately 200,000 people with a "Boca Raton" postal address reside outside its municipal boundaries. Such areas include newer developments such as West Boca Raton. As a business center, the city's daytime population increases significantly. It is one of the wealthiest communities in South Florida. Boca Raton is located 43 miles (69 km) north of Miami and is considered one of the principal cities in the Miami metropolitan area.
Boca Raton is home to the main campus of Florida Atlantic University and the corporate headquarters of Office Depot and ADT. It is also home to the Evert Tennis Academy, owned by professional tennis player Chris Evert. Town Center Mall, an upscale shopping center in West Boca Raton, is the largest indoor mall in Palm Beach County. Another major attraction to the area is Boca Raton's downtown, known as Mizner Park.
Mizner Park is a lifestyle center in downtown Boca Raton, Florida. Located at Mizner Park is Lord & Taylor, numerous specialty retailers and restaurants, apartments, and offices. The center is home to rated eateries Max's Grille, Yard House, Villagio's, and Uncle Julio's. The Centre for the Arts at Mizner Park is located on the north end of the development, which includes an amphitheater and the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Cooper Carry designed Mizner as a classical Mediterranean revival town center. Lord & Taylor announced construction in fall of 2011 and had its opening in the summer of 2013.
Previously, the site of Mizner Park was a conventional enclosed shopping center called Boca Mall, which opened in 1974. Boca Mall was originally anchored by Britt's and Jefferson Ward. The former closed in 1982 and was temporarily occupied by IBM offices until 1985, when it was converted to Levitz Furniture. In 1989, Levitz relocated and Jefferson Ward closed. The closure of these anchors led to the mall's demolition and redevelopment.
Addison Cairns Mizner (December 12, 1872 – February 5, 1933) was an American resort architect whose Mediterranean Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival style interpretations left an indelible stamp on South Florida, where it continues to inspire architects and land developers. In the 1920s Mizner was the best-known and most-discussed living American architect. Mizner was the visionary behind the development of Boca Raton, Florida.
Born in Benicia, California, he traveled as a child around the world with his father, Lansing B. Mizner, a lawyer and the U. S. minister to Guatemala, who was recalled to the United States in 1891 by President Benjamin Harrison after the Barrundia Affair.
Little is known about Addison Mizner's sketches and artwork prior to his architectural career, but his subsequent work shows him to be a fine draftsman and an artist who painted beautiful watercolors.
Although he lacked formal university training, Mizner served a 3 year apprenticeship in the office of San Francisco architect, Willis Jefferson Polk, eventually becoming a partner. Later, while traveling in Hawaii, he co-authored a book with Ethel Watts Mumford entitled The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1903. The book was an unexpected success and spawned seven sequels. Later, he also wrote with her The Limerick Up To Date Book (1903) and The Complete Cynic (1910).

Video compilation of my various times on or around the Intracoastal Waterway in south Florida. The Intracoastal is a channel of water that runs parallel to the ocean, separated by the A1A. In order to get to the ocean you have to pass over the Intracoastal via various drawbridges that open at designated times. So in the same way that encountering TriRails, Amtraks and freight trains is a regular part of life in this region, so is the Intracoastal and the bridges. :) A large portion of the video was taken while riding the Fort Lauderdale water taxi on a couple of occasions, which begins in downtown on the New River, before eventually connecting up to the Intracoastal. There are three main types of water taxi boats used - the smallest, which holds about 15 people, the mid size wh...
Welcome to Beautiful Boca Raton! "Hi I'm Terry Story. And, I have lived and worked in real estate in Boca Raton for more than 25 years, and each and every day I discover new reasons why I love living here. Let me show you a little of the town I call home." ~ Terry Story Legend has it that Boca Raton's sheltered inlets, lake and interior waterways was a haven for pirates seeking coves to hide in while waiting to attack Spanish ships traveling along the Florida coastline. Today, Boca Raton is an iconic and sophisticated coastal metropolis, the second largest city in Palm Beach County with over 84,000 people within the city limits. The city is approximately 30 square miles and sits directly on the Atlantic Ocean offering 5 scenic miles of golden beaches. The average temperature is a hig...
If you come knocking on my door
I'll make sure that i'm not there
It's no fun being alone but don't you phone
I'm running...
'Cause i know and i'll always remember
what you said
Got woken by a missionary
Who'd come to deliver a message of peace
I told her peace was what I had
Until I was woken by a missionary
But if you go
I promise i will remember what you said
