I must (well, I am eager to) admit: I have been negative on the Panthers for a few years and I was negative about their playoff hopes going into this season and even during the season as the team was clinging to a playoff spot and even led their division. They managed to prove me wrong - or did they?

Florida is arguably in a position to silence its most ardent critics. Their NHL playoffs performance so far exceeded everyone's expectations and has seemingly proved the naysayers wrong. The Panthers led this series twice and had New Jersey on the verge of elimination, in their own building, in a game that came down to a single sudden-death shot. A shot that could have been the Panthers'. Except it wasn't.

Are you ready to look out your living room window at Tao and see a Las Vegas style casino?

According to the article at MiamiHerald.com today, Sunrise Sports & Entertainement, owners of the Florida Panthers have talked to a number of Las Vegas casino owners and operators and are interesting in bringing the concept to the BankAtlantic Center site.

Lego store is now open at Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise's Urban Sawgrass. Check out the selection of sets, the Build a Mini stand where you can choose pick and choose from a variety of body parts and build your own Legoman or woman. Also, the awesome wall of lego bricks that you can mix and match and build your own set.

Even though Sawgrass Mills Mall and it's huge and empty parking lot is right in the middle of Urban Sawgrass, our neighborhood is still fairly easy to walk and bike. Those of you living at Sawgrass Reserve do have a longer walk or ride to Publix and/or Target though.
