Last night was my second night back in my hometown of Fort lauderdale, after alot of unpacking my wife wanted to go to a chicken wing place for dinner. Eating there 1000s times and never having an issue I said sure. Well at 910pm, just 20 minutes until the place closed after a long day of furniture shopping two masked men ran into the restaurant holding guns. one went to the cah register and instructed the young lady who turned pale white to open it. The other man decided to scream hands int he air and use me at gun point to empty everyones personal belongings into a JAN Sport backpack. My wife thinking on her feet and sitting int he inner side of the booth managed to slip her Cartier watch off her wrist and drop it and her purse on the ground below the table which housed my new Breitling watch. I lost about 900 bucks cash and my cell phone, all my CC's and ID. As the gun man in the dining area screamed JOHN Get the register followed up by OH SHIT, I thought for sure we all were dead. I have never had a gun pointed at me while being directed to empty other peoples pockets and I have never been so scared in my life. Thank god no one was hurt, police responded fast and hopefully these two young boys will be caught. What a day...

ftl going down hill then ?
it was cool when i was over there a few years back..
(sunrise)
then the folks warned me not to go to South Beach... too dangerous.
(loved it... one of the finest places / vibes on earth).
..alas good to hear you made it out - sounds very scary.
(have a break, drive down to one of the islands pre Key West for the weekend)
