Furniture store in Northwood Village by raptoralex, on Flickr
A little north of where I live is a neighborhood called Northwood Village. The city's trying to transform it into a district with arts, cafes and shops. So far it's just got about one and a half streets of little stores like this.

Don't forget Florida is a swing state. These were taken the Wednesday before Election Day. I voted early because I work on the big day.

Henry Flagler founded Palm Beach. He was a railroad man and is the reason South Florida is a vacation destination. The name Flagler is all around the city.

This is Charles. He's homeless.


Charles' things by raptoralex, on Flickr
This is everything Charles had with him. I wanted to try to show the dichotomy of the two cities split by a thin strip of water called the Intracoastal Waterway, or Lake Worth Lagoon. On one side is exorbitant wealth; on the other is the rest of us just trying to get by.
