TO A GOOD PLACE THEY RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN. I confess right away that I really like this hotel and the review will be full, kindly and grateful. I have not the slightest reason to hate this hotel and many will find the review boring. Rushed! It was in April 2019.Country UA I twitched painfully in choosing the next Guide of the Moses class for the next five long years. We already know Kito won, but then it was the Mystery of Secrets and the Mystery of Mysteries. from Coral, UIA carrier. Departure from Boryspil term. D. After the opening of terminal F, there were noticeably fewer people here. For some reason, when checking in our luggage with a friend, the system hung. Well, just a blue screen with a narrow yellow stripe at the bottom of the screen. Well, I think, "Destination-6\or 7\". ... All one to one! Well, okay, in manual mode and with the help of such and such a mother, the system swelled up and the luggage, swaying at the joints, rumbled along the conveyor belt. Another nuance is landing, of course, not through the sleeve \ although there were a lot of free ones \ all passengers were loaded onto airbuses and taken to the board ... They take 5 minutes ... They take ten ... The air is clearly getting warmer and begins to smell like the sea. And here, after a long and winding route, we are brought to terminal F, where our B700-900 was parked. Surprised? Why? We do a lot through the seat point. - at the rate of 189, there were 215 seats. The flight took place in the normal mode. No "tagil" and inadequate. a coffee-containing drink is already 3 euros each. In order not to choke on a choking toad, I drank only water. Here is the long-awaited Hurghada. The board sat in the new airport. It was painfully long driven around the endless terminal ... Everything was somewhat annoying - when all European liners go through the sleeve, we are extremely budget driven like in rush hour by buses. We tolerate this too. Visa. ..The miracle tour operator Coral did not get infected from Anex to add 2 USD to the price of a visa. I asked for rooms 150 to 189 \ like last time \ I ended up in building 2, which I always saw, but never even approached it. Room 3408 or 4308.. 2nd floor. At the reception I managed to agree about resettlement in 2 days in the 155th. Gritting his teeth with annoyance, he agreed. The room is relatively good, but I'm too lazy to drag my ass to the 2nd floor, and not go straight out of the room onto the grass ... It's a habit. And now the biggest flight of the hotel is for a late dinner from 23-00 they gave us practically nothing - I somehow didn’t consider pasta with a minimum selection of vegetables as a dinner meeting dear guests of the hotel. I went to sleep with my stomach, so that at least in a dream I could see chops and cutlets in Kiev. Morning ... I went to inspect the property from the very morning. The beauty-people are asleep, the wind is blowing furiously, the Germans stubbornly take one position after another on the beach. Here are experienced tourists! ate for a long-awaited breakfast. And here is everything, my regular-favorite curd dangle with various fillers. Milk, by the way, I myself saw the process of filling the container - 6.2% fat content! Wow! Two bowls every day ... And then another cocoa on the same milk-bombs! up. I returned to the beach, found at least some area where it didn’t blow like that and threw my bodies under the rays of the April Egyptian tan. I endured for 20-25 minutes ... Well, the wind destroys all the buzz. imagine that it will be as nasty as in January, March ... But the second half of April, and it is stubbornly cold! Where to complain ?! I put on a T-shirt again and decided to go to the bass. From 10-00, in theory, it should have warmed up. It seems that the winter period has passed and it is not necessary to warm it up ... So for a week I didn’t swim in it even once. There only temperature-resistant children frolicked ... And then I saw a couple of three! How much I didn’t dare to approach the sea, but I didn’t gather my determination into a bunch. It seems that water is tolerable, but then it’s disgusting to dry in the wind. And a towel won’t save. Although some of our women swam and snorted with pleasure at the same time. No wonder they are much stronger than us men, they even give birth to our heirs just by pushing and breathing often, often! Respect to them! About the territory. It's impossible not to say about the hardworking team of the hotel - they are like the crew on an expensive liner! Every part of the hotel, the park area, is always taken care of. Well done! Lunch time. It was possible to start it in 30 minutes on the summer playground near the bass, but there was only liver from meat. I am quite indifferent to it. And lunch in the main restaurant is very worthy. It’s true that if this pangasius fisherman admired me on the last voyage, this time I quickly became bored with it. This does not mean that it is poorly cooked, but I just would like to have several varieties of fish .But these are already applications for 5 stars, and even then not for every hotel chain. Everything else is at a decent level. My previous friends, to whom I recommended this hotel, complained that they didn’t pour pink wine, it’s bullshit, everything is there ... You just need to call it correctly, and not show on yourself what a wine should be like against the background of burnt female skin. Arab men safsem I probably thought about something else, nervously tugging ... tugging ... well, I don’t know, chito tugging. The waiters almost instantly take an order for that chito you will drink and what to drink it with! Well done! this hotel is ashamed to be an alkanaut. By the way, by appointment there is a visit to an ala carte Italian restaurant. Ha ha three times. I went once. So wild was the limitation of portions and nothing particularly outstanding. the aroma is present. He looked zealously at the plates for the Germans. but it seems that there are not tasty pieces there ... Then the guide is Comrade Tuna himself? What is in our country, that in Egi they are pioneers, go, and they are all pioneers ... Or the tuna has self-destructed. The rest of the dishes were regular. Yes, probably, if I ordered a double portion on myself, I would have eaten, and I listened to the radio in an incomprehensible language. I didn’t aspire to a Greek dinner anymore. from the hood of this restaurant?! I strongly recommend trying pizza, which is prepared from 15-00 at the central pool. Of course, there is no artsy topping there, but how delicious it is when it is made in an oven. Drinks throughout the hotel are of very, very decent quality. Although Cola is already some analogue of ICY-Cola, but very decent, coffee from the maker is strong to the point of impossibility-cores are not allowed. And all alcohol is in plastic containers. I don’t drink. And nothing about its quality Vinchik, by the way, is red for some reason more pleasant than pink, although it was the other way around on the last flight. Animation. It is, but at least all sorts of disco roosters and wake up people by the pool, but it is not intrusive. Try here in the wind to drag people into entertainment. In the evening in the amphitheater \ as if \ there were shows .. Once I even came 40-50 minutes before the start, ordered drinks ... I waited, froze, spat in the shower and, under the guise of state affairs, went to the hotel lobby to vibrate. Well, not always for me it was comfortable to take a signal from a comrade's wi-fi distributor. The speed at the reception is not a fountain, but there are a bunch of people. Usually I did it from a bar - you suck on a fanta with pomegranate syrup and suffer from viberism. And it's nice and practical! They began to smoke less .. .Before, it was not possible to breathe in the bar at the reception, but now everything is correct. A few words about caring for children, and silence in the hotel! they are practically inaudible. There are several shops on the territory. There are several of them. And I even looked after shorts for swimming, but with the colors of the French flag ... Horror, but the current situation with the endless armed conflict in the Donbass did not allow me to buy them ... Until they understand on the beach in Berdyansk, that the flag was France, and already the whole muzzle was covered in abrasions, and the carcass was bruised ... Yes. Such is the reality. There is a pharmacy, and all sorts of souvenir-type small things. I’m interested. It’s extremely disappointing that there is no point selling fruits near the hotel. And it’s stupidly lazy to go about 12-15 km to the city. Yes, and five euros one way for the sake of 5-10 kg of exotic toad crushes. You can ride minibuses with the natives, but also laziness ... So I sat all week on oranges, melons and apples in a restaurant. Boats and yachts. It absolutely does not make sense to take a boat trip from the city. 4 pleasure boats are moored to the hotel pier, which for 30 USD will have an unforgettable trip with the possibility of diving. And why then go to the port, wait for the group to form, etc. and so on. Everything is right at hand! Now about the service. On the third day, it was time to move to a room by the sea. I went to the reception, they quickly pulled up a company of cleaners for my future room 155, but I went to wait in the hotel-boy room to transfer our common luggage .. I sit for 30 minutes, I sit for an hour, but there is no one. I take one bag and drag it myself, like a hardened European to the 155th number, and there the rustling has already ended and the room is locked. I call the cleaner to open the number for me, I would leave the bag and went for the next one, but it wasn’t there. According to the Hague Convention, it’s impossible to open a room for a suspicious Ukrainian without a key and a pass. gave the key ... I stayed in the room, and sent the battle for the remaining bags. Brings ... Waiting for sugar for tea ... Now! For my ordeals and also to gild the handle - a 16-bolt with a left-hand thread! strength and chavos he swam with pleasure. I bring him back to reality with a cough in Ukrainian. After that, he was silk. "Beating determines consciousness", as K. Marx used to say, settling in 4 stars ... Now about what I began to understand only with the difficulties of inflammation of the joints. And how great the plan of the hotel is, wherever there is a need to use the railing .Nowhere you will go down without support. And it's worth a lot. About the work of Coral. I will compare with the actions of fighters from Anex competitors. they sell tours according to sickly numbers, but how skillfully and elegantly. No offense that they fall out of love with all Ukrainian tourists and marry a Kazakh woman. About the return time of the bus to the airport, they regularly hung it on the board of orders and announcements a day before. But this is a regular procedure. On the last day at 12-00 check-out. Once again, out of naivety, I waited for the fight by 12-00, but it was sent only after a call from the reception, when I angrily refused to leave the room if the hotel-boy continued to wear horned ones at the workplace. I came. I didn’t wait for the tip. I looked around all the time, all the staff found out about the educational conversation with the cleaner. And the long 7 hours of floundering around the hotel came, waiting for the transfer. The biggest plus of the hotel is that no one weaned us from the feeder until the very departure, although by all the rules they could. Only for this I will continue to vouch for this hotel. I like it I like it. And in the late autumn, when I visit it again, I hope they will accept me already by agreement only on the first floor automatically. I would like to note the work of the Russian-speaking girl Ira at the reception. Although I did not need her help, she helped the pioneers. It was already evening... I changed from tourist to civilian clothes and at 19-15 we started our way to the airport. I haven't wandered around Hurghada itself for a long time, but in the evening of the last day it seemed extinct to me. Even my favorite restaurant, El Mina, did not have flocks of eternal lovers seafood. Yes, and the hotels where people were taken away were somehow empty and dull. And this is not in the off season ... Ty three times, as they say in UA. Again, control in the a\n ... Again, remove the belt from the jeans ... Again, barefoot, chapat through the frame. They still didn’t find the RPG. And again, the terminal of the departure hall is only slightly smaller than in Bangkok, and there are practically no people. Again, there is no question of any sleeve - a walker from the 3rd to the ground level, bass and painful seating. Oh, a miracle! succeed only at the end of summer. Until future meetings on the air. And I highly recommend the hotel. Most of all, it looks like a well-fed and clean reservation for tourists waiting for comfort. I will definitely return! Pluses of the hotel we are well fed here. Excellent combination of price and quality Why do we need those Haiti Disadvantages of the hotel Very low level of "catch up" with the hotel staff.…

Palm Beach is a county located in Florida, immediately north of Broward County. The 2010 census reported a population of 1,320,134, making it the third most populous county in Florida. The largest and most important city in the county is West Palm Beach. Named after one of its oldest communities, Palm Beach, a county founded in 1909 after splitting from Dade County. Modern borders counties were established in 1963. Palm Beach County is one of three counties in South Florida and in Miami - Fort Lauderdale - West Palm Beach, the Florida metropolitan area.

Population growth in the territory began in the late 19th century with the merger with West Palm Beach in 1894 and after Henry Fragler expanded the East Florida Railroad and built the Royal Poinciana, The Breakers, and Whiteball hotels. In 1928, the Okehobeh hurricane struck West Palm Beach and caused thousands of deaths. Since then, many other tropical cyclones have affected the area. Recently, the county has drawn attention to presidential elections in 2000, when a controversial recount took place.

Since 2004, Palm Beach County has been ranked the richest in Florida, with a per capita personal income of $44,518. It leads the state in agricultural production and other than real estate, agriculture is Palm Beach's largest industry.

Story

About 10,200 years ago, Native Americans began migrating to Florida. Tribes that settled in what is now Palm Beach County include the Ices, Caluses, Jegs, Mayimis, and Tequestas. Approximately 20,000 Native Americans were living in South Florida by the time the Spanish arrived. Their numbers had declined significantly by the 18th century. due to military conflicts, enslavement and disease from Europe. In 1513, Juan Ponce de Leon, who had led a European expedition to Florida the year before, became the first non-Indian to reach Palm Beach County, landing on what is now Jupiter. Among the first non-Indians were also African Americans, many of whom were former slaves or direct descendants of former slaves who had fled to Florida from slave plantations in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Fugitive African slaves began arriving in what was then Spanish Florida in the late 17th century. where they found refuge among the Seminoles. During the Seminole Wars, they fought for the Seminoles against white settlers and bounty hunters. Battles of the Second Seminole War took place in Palm Beach County, including the Battle of Jupiter Inlet in 1838.

The oldest surviving building, Jupiter Lighthouse, was built in 1860. after obtaining a land permit from President Franklin Pierce in 1854. During the American Civil War, Florida was among the Confederate States of America. August O. Lang and James Payne provided assistance to their state, who removed the luminous mechanism, turning off the lighthouse and thus allowed their ships to escape trying to break the blockade. Lang was also the first white settler in Palm Beach County. He builds a palmette shack along the east bank of Lake Worth in 1863 after the defeat of the Confederacy. After graduation Civil War, the Jupiter Lighthouse was reopened in 1866. Thirteen years later, the office of the National Weather Service was located in the lighthouse complex. However, the office would be relocated to Miami after that city's population began to grow rapidly.

In October 1873, a hurricane caused a shipwreck between Biscayne Bay and the New River. The team survived but nearly starved to death due to the desolation of the area. By act of Congress on June 20, 1874, it was decided to arrange five houses along the east coast of Florida from the fortress of Pierce Inlet south to Biscayne Bay. House of Refuge Number 3 "Orange Grove" was built near Delray Beach in 1876.

Henry Flagler, who played an important role in the development of the county in the late 19th century and early 20th century, first got there in 1892 and described the area as "a real paradise." Flagler subsequently purchased land on both sides of Lake Worth. Other investors followed suit, sparking a small boom and bringing in an existing business or creating a new one. Designed by Flagrel for wealthy tourists, the Royal Poinciana Hotel opened in February 1894. About a month later, Florida Railway East Coast, owned by Flagler, reached West Palm Beach. On November 5, 1894, the oldest city in Palm Beach County, West Palm Beach, became part of the county. In 1896, another Flagler-built hotel, the Palm Beach Inn, was opened, later renamed The Breakers. He also built his own winter home, starting in 1900; he and his wife moved there on February 6, 1902. Flagler died there on May 20, 1913, after falling down a marble staircase.

Palm Beach County was created in 1909. It was named so because of the first community of settlers - Palm Beach. The county consisted of northern Dade County, which included parts of what is now Okeechobee and Broward Counties, part of Martin, and all of Palm Beach County, originally including all of Lake Okeechobee. The southernmost part of Palm Beach County was split off when northernmost Broward County was created in 1915, the northwestern part became part of Okeechobee County in 1917, and the southern part of Martin County was created from the northernmost part of Palm Beach County in 1925.

Early on September 17, 1928, the Okeechobee hurricane caused a landslide near West Palm Beach and passed over Lake Okeechobee shortly thereafter. The storm caused serious damage to the city and claimed 26 lives. More than 1,711 homes were destroyed in West Palm Beach. Inland, gale-force winds caused a storm on Lake Okeechobee and flooding of nearby areas, especially Belle Glade, Pahokie, and South Bay. Hundreds of square miles were flooded with water, including 20 feet (6.1m) in places. Hundreds of houses were demolished and destroyed after colliding with other obstacles. The water did not completely recede a few weeks after the flood. At least 2,500 people died, most of them black visiting farmers. Damage in South Florida amounted to approximately $25 million (in 1928 dollars). In response to the elements, Herbert Hoover created a dam to prevent similar disasters. Lake Okeechobee previously overflowed its banks in 1926 as a result of the Miami hurricane, although Moore Haven in Glades County was flooded. As a result of the two hurricanes Okeechobee and Miami, Palm Beach County, along the south coast of Florida, began to experience an economic crisis before entering the Great Depression, even before the Walt Street crash of 1929. Housing prices have dropped dramatically, as have vacation rentals in the area.

Palm Beach International Airport (PIA), later known as Morisons Field, opened in 1936. Following the entry of the United States into World War II world war, it was converted into an air force base in 1942. During the war, thousands of troops arrived in Palm Beach County to train and support the war effort. After the end of World War II, a number of veterans returned to the base for work, vacation or after retirement. The base was closed and became a commercial airport again in 1962. Migration to the county of workers, tourists and retirees has continued into the 21st century.

On August 28, 1949, West Palm Beach was struck by a Category 4 hurricane with maximum winds of 150 mph (240 km/h), causing significant damage.

The district's first television station, WIRK TV Channel 21, was authorized on September 13, 1953. And ended in less than three years. However, NBC affiliate WPTV TV and CBS affiliate WPEC first went on the air in 1954 and 1955 respectively, both of which are still in existence today.

Richard Paul Pavlik attempted to assassinate future President John F. Kennedy in Palm Beach in December 1960. The Kennedy family vacationed in La Guerida, in a home originally owned by Rodman Wanamaker and sold to Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. in 1933. Paulik's anti-Catholic and anti-government views led him to the intention and organization of the assassination of JFC (John F. Kennedy). A New Hampshire resident, Pavlik loaded his car with sticks of dynamite and drove to Palm Beach. Pavlik sent strange postcards to his hometown that contained information that coincided with Kennedy's vacation. The postmaster warned the Secret Service to be on the lookout for Pavlik's vehicle. On December 11, while Kennedy was about to leave the mass events, Pavlik abandoned his attempt to assassinate Kennedy because he was with his wife, Jacqueline, and their two children. On December 15, Pavlik's car, with sticks of dynamite inside, was surrounded by the police and he was arrested. The charges against Pavlik were dropped on December 2, 1963, 10 days after Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas. Additionally, during his presidency, due to the escalation of the Cold War, a secret bomb shelter was built on Pinat Island.

In 1963, approximately three-quarters of Lake Okeechobee was removed from Palm Beach County and divided among Glades, Hendry, Martin, and Okeechobee counties. This was the last change to the county's boundaries.

Late at night on September 3, 1979, Hurricane David swept past Palm Beach with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h). Storm winds shattered windows in shops near the coast and caused damage to property, including the demolition of the outer structure of Palm Beach High Alley and the overturning of the 186-foot (57 m) WJNO AM radio tower in West Palm Beach into the Shore Channel (a canalized waterway system along the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Ocean in the south and east of the United States). Several roofs were blown off and many buildings were flooded with more than 6 inches (150 mm) of rain. Damage to the district amounted to $30 million (at 1979 prices), most of which was caused to agriculture.

The county became the focus of controversy during the November 7, 2000, election. An alleged butterfly ballot designed by Teresa Lepore, Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor, generated unexpectedly large votes for Reform Party candidate Pat Buconan, and not Democrat Al Gore. Because of the above butterfly ballot and the proximity of Gore's results to that of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, a manual recount was held. On December 8, Florida's Superior Court voted 4 to 3 in favor of a manual recount in all counties with disputed vote counts. However, the United States Supreme Court overturned the Bush and Gore decision on December 12, allowing Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris to award 25 electoral votes to Bush over the previous recount decision, putting him ahead of Gore by 537 votes. Which, in turn, brought victory to Bush in the national elections.

The subsequent FBI investigation after the September 11, 2001 attack found that 12 of the 19 terrorists had either arrived in or lived in Palm Beach County for a long time before the attack, including Ahmed al-Ghamdi, Ahmed al-Khaznawi, Marwan al-Shahhi, Waleed, and Wail al-Shehri , Sattam al-Sukhami, Mohammed Atta and Ziyad Jarrah. A month later, during a biological attack, a letter containing anthrax spores was sent to the American Media Building in Boca Raton. Three people were struck by anthrax spores, including Robert Stevens, a photo editor who died from the infection.

Palm Beach County was affected by several tropical cyclones in 2004 and 2005, with Hurricanes Franz, Jeanne, and Wilma being the most severe, causing at least several billion dollars in damage. Early on September 5, 2004, a landslide hit Martin County as a result of Category 2 Hurricane Franz with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h). Although tropical storm winds raged in the area, wind gusts as high as 91 mph (146 km/h) were recorded at Jupiter Inlet. High winds resulted in 659,000 power outages, according to the FPL. Infrastructural damage to Palm Beach County included 15,000 homes and 2,400 businesses. In addition, severe damage was caused to crops, $ 70 million (in 2004 prices) were losses on sugar supply contracts. Six deaths were recorded in Palm Beach County as a result of traffic accidents and drowning associated with the effects of the storm.

About three weeks after Hurricane Francis, Hurricane Jeanne blew through the same area with Category 3 winds of 120 mph (195 km/h). Although Hurricane Jeanne was more powerful, its overall impact was slightly less. Storm surge of 2 to 4 feet (0.61-1.22 m) along the coast resulted in moderate beach erosion in Palm Beach County. Jeanne also brought strong winds with gusts of 94 mph (151 km/h) recorded by the C-MAN station at Lake Worth Pier. West Palm Beach saw an unofficial wind gust of 125 mph (201 km/h). FPL has reported 593,300 power outages since Jeanne. About 4,160 houses were damaged and 60 destroyed. There has also been significant localized flooding in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and rural areas in western Palm Beach County. Agricultural losses reached about $30 million. The total loss from Zhanna was $260 million, but there were no casualties.

On October 24, 2005, Category 3 Hurricane Wilma caused a landslide near Cape Romano, Florida with winds of 120 mph (195 km/h). The storm formed in the northwest and moved straight through Palm Beach County. At PBIA (Palm Beach International Airport), winds reached 82 mph (132 km/h), while observed wind gusts were 101 mph (163 km/h). The winds damaged 52,835 Palm Beach County homes and destroyed 2,669.

Since Hurricane Wilma in 2005, several other tropical cyclones have affected Palm Beach County. In August 2008, Tropical Storm Fay brought mostly flooding, with water levels reaching 7-9 inches (180-230 mm) in the eastern parts of the county. The fairy created an EF2 over Wellington that destroyed the roof of the stables, tore the electrical wiring and some trees at the Palm Beach Equine Clinic. Additionally, the equine veterinary clinic lost about 95 percent of the building's roof tiles and the heavy trailer was thrown 120 feet from its original location. The apartment building also sustained minor roof damage. Four years later, in August 2012, the outer ring of Hurricane Isaac hit at least 15.86 inches (403 mm) of rain near Lion Country Safari. The abandoned neighborhoods of Akrej, Loxahatchee, Royal Palm Beach, and Wellington were left stranded for several days as a result of the flooding. During the storm, one person died after crashing into a concrete wall along I-95. The total damage in the county was approximately $71,590,000 (2012 US dollar exchange rate).

Geography

According to the US Census Bureau, the county has an area of ​​2,383 square miles (6,170 sq. km), 1,970 square miles (5,100 sq. km) of which is land and 413 square miles (1,070 sq. km) (17.3%) is water. It is the second largest county in Florida by land area and the third largest by total area. Most of the water area is the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Okeechobee. There are approximately 526,000 acres (213,000 ha) of farmland in the county.

Bodies of self-government of the district

The district is governed by a board of commissioners. The council is made up of seven commissioners, all of whom are elected from single-member districts. One of the commissioners is elected mayor and one of them will be elected vice mayor. [edit] Commissioners serve on a staggered rotation basis, with districts 1, 3, 5, 7 commissioners elected in a presidential annual election, while districts 2, 4, and 6 commissioners are elected in a gubernatorial annual election.

Elected officials counties include: technical secretary and auditor general, sheriff, property appraiser, tax collector and election observer. State officers serving in Florida's Judicial District include the State's Attorney and the Public Defender. All positions have a four-year term, requiring direct election by voters in presidential election years.

Five former county commissioners were charged or convicted of corruption from 2006 to 2009. The grand jury recommended a strong inspector general. This position was approved by county voters in 2010. A county judge found that the mandate covered municipal government in 2015.

As of July 2015, registered voters in the county consisted of 361,955 Democrats and 233,908 Republicans, while 246,453 people were independents or third party participants.

Palm Beach County has supported the Democratic nominee in presidential elections since 1992. Prior to 1992, the county had supported a Republican every four years since 1948. Palm Beach County was the center of a nationwide media frenzy in 2000 when it appeared to influence that year's presidential election between eventual winners George W. Bush and Al Gore. The main source of controversy was the butterfly ballot used in Palm Beach, the confusing ballot design may have caused many voters to mistakenly vote for Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan instead of Al Gore. Buchanan was unexpectedly impressive in the area. In the end, Gore won the district, but Bush captured the state of Florida with 537 votes after a recount was effectively suspended by the US Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore.

In the 2004 presidential election, President Bush received more constituency votes than outgoing Democrat John Kerry by roughly 60.35%–39.05%. During the US Senate election, Betty Castor (D) won Palm Beach County against Republican Mel Martinez by a narrow margin of 22.26%. In 2006, incumbent Senator Bill Nelson (D) blasted Katherine Harris (R) with about 72.54% of the vote. Then Republican Charlie Crist was defeated in the district to Jim Davis (D) respectively 59.71% -38.28%. In the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama extended the Democratic margin of victory from four years earlier and took approximately 61.08% of the vote against John McCain (R) in the district.

In the 2010 gubernatorial election, Alex Sink (D) won Palm Beach County by 18.67% against Rick Scott (R). That same year, then-U.S. Senate Independent and former Gov. Crist won Palm Beach County by just under 3,000 votes, or a margin of just 0.74%. President Obama, who was re-elected in 2012, narrowly defeated Mitt Romney with 41.18% of the vote. During the Class III seat election for the US Senate in Florida, incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson received 55.2% of the vote against challenger Connie Mack IV in Palm Beach County. Former Gov. Crist, who turned Democrat, won 58.8% of the vote against Gov. Scott in the 2014 gubernatorial election.

In the U.S. House of Representatives, Palm Beach County is represented by four Democrats: Patrick Murphy in the 18th District, Elsie Hastings of the 20th District, Ted Deutsch of the 21st District, and Louis Frankel of the 22nd District.

Transport

Highway

The advocacy group has criticized the existence of roads in Palm Beach County as they can be dangerous for non-motorized users. Local municipalities are working to improve safety, but counties and government agencies are hesitant to change planning.

express roads

Federal Highway 95

Florida Turnpike

I-95 and the Florida Turnpike are express access roads maintained by Palm Beach County. South Avenue (signed SR 80/US 98), which runs east-west through downtown Palm Beach County, is part of the highway from Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach to US 441/SR 7 in Wellington and Royal -Palm Beach. In the late 1980s, there were plans to build two additional expressways in Palm Beach County. One was to be 11.5 miles (18.5 km) long from the Royal Palm Beach Toll Highway to downtown West Palm Beach. This would have been a route between Belvedere Road and Okeechobee Boulevard; which required the destruction of several houses and churches along this path. Another proposed route was the northern extension of the Sawgrass Expressway, which was to be called "University Walk". University Mall would wind around suburban extensions west of Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach; this path bordered the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. Ultimately, both expressways were canceled due to opposition from county residents.

  Every year on the third weekend in August, an automotive charity event takes place on California's Monterey Peninsula south of San Francisco. In fact, it is the most prestigious pre-war and post-war classic car competition in the world. Nowhere else in the world will you see or meet so many of the most exclusive,. Thousands of lovers of old and modern cars come to this exhibition.

  Many of the world's car manufacturers use this event to showcase their most exclusive new products to all of us. It is noteworthy that all new models presented at this exhibition, as a rule, also have maximum prices, just like the exhibition samples of old and rare classics themselves, which can be seen from time to time. We offer our readers an overview of the most interesting cars from Southern California.

  Aston Martin Vanquish Volante Zagato.

  
  

  Here is a Vanquish Zagato with 592 hp. The new car design inspires a sports car and a new life.

  
  

  Like the Volante version, this supercar will be released in a limited edition of 99 copies. One thing is true, but even if you are a very rich person, you still cannot buy this car. The fact is that the entire circulation of cars has already been previously sold out. The average cost of each such supercar is 650 thousand euros.

  Bugatti Chiron.

  
  

  In California, at the Pebble Beach Concours d "Elegance, the new Bugatti Chiron supercar was also officially presented. Unlike the car dealership where the sports car was presented in light blue, the car debuted in the USA in a dark blue version, which looks more elite.

  
  

  The car is the successor to the Veyron supercar. But unlike the old sports car, the new car has become more powerful, its power is 1500 hp.

  Mercedes-Maybach 6.

  
  

  Mercedes surprised the audience that gathered last weekend at Pebble Beach by presenting an unusual car concept. The proportions of the body are amazing. After all, it is essentially the largest coupe in the world. The length of the car is 5.7 meters, while the height of the car is only 1.33 meters. So it turns out that this car is simply not suitable for elderly wealthy people.

  
  

  This concept is equipped with a 750 hp electric motor. and a power reserve of 500 km.

  McLaren 570GT Concept by MSO.

  
  

  The GT concept was also presented at the show, which has a titanium exhaust system, which allowed the engineers to lighten the car by 30%.

  
  

  The car is equipped with a special glass roof with chameleon effect (electric chromatic glass roof). The roof can change its shade from one touch of the hands. Also, this car is presented in an individual pearl white body color, which is also covered with a special piano lacquer.

  BMW 2002 Hommage "Turbo Master".

  
  

  The model car on display in Southern California is a tribute to the extraordinary feats of Bavarian engineering, which is now equipped with turbocharged technology. The car is presented as a concept and has certain colors that are reminiscent of the company's success in the 1970s in the world of motorsport.

  
  

  This concept is a case study by BMW to find out if the market will be in demand for cars with compact dimensions, which were produced back in the 70s. The fact that the Bavarians have been trying to start bringing compact cars to the market for a long time is evidenced by the following, for example, their new model of the series, which in a short time returned the company to its former glory.

  Lamborghini Centenario Roadster.

  
  

  This company also decided to participate in the exhibition in America. This year, the Italians unveiled their 770-hp Centenario Roadster supercar, which is powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine capable of accelerating the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds.

  
  

  Some of our readers at this point in time will think that this Centenario Roadster supercar is a great investment as an investment. But alas, forget, all 20 copies of this machine have already been sold. The average cost of a car today is $2.4 million.

  Cadillac Escala.

  
  

  For the show at the Pebble Beach Concours d`Elegance, Cadillac brought an unusual one, which surprised everyone without exception. This is not just another concept from Cadillac, but a specific future direction for the company's design, which will gradually be implemented on all its new models.

  
  

  Compared to the model car, this Escala concept is 15 centimeters longer. In the end, the body length of the novelty was 5.34 meters. The design of the car is certainly unusual for this company "Cadillac". It is especially unusual with its new appearance at the front of the car. It is noteworthy here that the classic design of the company (the front of the car) has been around since 1948. Thus, and apparently, the engineers of the American brand for the first time and really decided to start creating new car models with a completely new "high-tech design" very soon.

  Ford GT Heritage "66.

  
  

  At this show, Ford decided to present its limited edition model "66". This car was released in honor of the victory of racing drivers Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon at Le Mans 50 years ago. The car received an exclusive black paint for itself, which can be Available in either glossy or matte finish.

  
  

  The interior of the supercar received new leather sports seats combined with carbon fiber. The initial cost of this car is 500 thousand euros.
