A New Affordable "High-Rise": The City of Hollywood Welcomes Hudson Village To Downtown September 8, 2022 Share Housing Trust Group (HTG), an award-winning multifamily developer and one of the nation’s largest developers of affordable housing, is pleased to announce the completion of Hudson Village, a residential high-rise delivering 96 affordable apartments to Downtown Hollywood. Apartments at Hudson Village are reserved for residents earning 30, 60 or 70 percent of local area median income (AMI), with rents ranging from $401 to $1,300 for income-qualifying residents. The property is currently 100% percent occupied. It is the first new affordable “high-rise” residential development in the City of Hollywood in more than two decades. The development is part of an overall vision by the City of Hollywood to create a more pedestrian-friendly Downtown and increase the supply of high-quality attainably priced housing in areas close to commercial activity and new public transportation networks. Located at 901 South Federal Highway, Hollywood, Florida 33020 Hudson Village features striking contemporary architecture and luxurious amenities including a 6,000-square-foot pool deck. It is ideally located in Hollywood’s Central Business District, a mile and a half south of Young Circle and less than three miles from Hollywood Beach. Numerous shops, restaurants, grocery stores, schools and a library are within walking distance. “Hudson Village is a testament to the extraordinary things that are possible when the public and private sectors work together to address a critical need such as affordable housing,” said Matthew A. Rieger, President and CEO of Housing Trust Group. “Broward County is among the most cost-burdened counties in the entire country, with very limited affordable housing. This property will be a godsend for the many working families and students who currently face long commutes to their jobs in Downtown Hollywood or at the hotels and restaurants along the beach. We are deeply grateful to City Mayor Josh Levy, Communications, Marketing & Economic Development Director Raelin Storey and Director of Development Services Shiv Newaldass for their tireless support of this project.” 
“This development exemplifies the kind of high quality, well-designed attainable housing that residents can be proud of and that enhances our City,” says Mayor Levy. “The HTG Team has paid attention to every detail to deliver a Class A product that working families can afford.” The $36 Million property, which broke ground in 2020, was financed with a $28 Million construction loan from Chase, $26 Million in 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits from Florida Housing Finance Corporation syndicated through Raymond James Tax Credit Equity Funds with Chase as the Upper Tier Investor and a $9.75 Million permanent loan from Walker & Dunlop through Freddie Mac. “Hudson Village is a shining example of what affordable housing can and should be and it comes at a time of tremendous need in this community, and throughout South Florida,” said Tammy Haylock-Moore, Chase Bank’s Head of Community Development Lending in Florida. “We’re incredibly proud of our role in bringing Hudson Village to fruition and the impact it will have on the individuals and families who now call it home.” Also in Hollywood, HTG is developing a mixed-use commercial property on a 2.5-acre City-owned site on the east side of North 21st Street, between Filmore and Polk Streets, that will connect via a footbridge to a new commuter rail line connecting each of South Florida’s Downtowns. University Station, as it is called, will contain 216 apartments (200 of which will be reserved for residents earning up to 80 percent AMI); 4,000 square feet of commercial space; a facility to house Barry University’s College of Nursing and Health Services and a public parking garage. Hudson Village offers a mix of 54 one-bedroom, one-bath apartments with an average size of 748 square feet and 42 two-bedroom, two-bath apartments with an average size of 1,087 square feet. All apartments feature open floor plans and walk-in closets, kitchen islands with Daltile Quartz Countertops, Energy Star-Rated Stainless-Steel Appliances, Plank Flooring and low-flow fixtures for Water Efficiency. Almost all of the apartments have a private balcony, including two apartments on the fourth floor with large wrap around balconies. Residents of the east-facing apartments can enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean and shoreline in the distance. The property’s amenities include a 6,000-square-foot pool deck with a large resort-style swimming pool, a trellis-covered BBQ area, lounge chairs and planters; a stunning lobby with seating area, media center and foosball table, along with a custom-made hanging glass art sculpture from Murano, Italy; a clubhouse/community room with a catering kitchen and bar, media center, ping-pong table and pool table; an extra-large fitness center with free weights and a Yoga/Spinning Room; a package delivery room; a bike storage room and a parking garage with 122 spaces. A covered arcade-style sidewalk and ground floor glass facade helps address one the City’s goals for the Federal Highway Corridor, which is to make the pedestrian environment more harmonious with the built environment. Landscaping was carefully coordinated with the City to ensure that a variety of native species were integrated into the areas surrounding the sidewalks. The project design and construction team for Hudson Village includes General Contractor HTG Gomez Construction, LLC; Engineering Firm Thomas Engineering; Architecture Firm Corwil Architects and Landscape Architects Witkins & Hultz.

What Professional Locksmiths Say Homeowners Get Wrong About Security By Family Features Mar 26, 2026 You Have Locks On Your Doors And Windows, And You Make Sure They're Secure Before You Leave The House Or Head To Bed Each Night. You May Even Have A Security System With An Alarm Or Cameras To Protect Your Home. Some Locksmiths Say That May Not Be Enough. Bryan McCabe, Director of Locksmith Operations with KeyMe Locksmiths, the nation's leading provider of local locksmith services and No. 1 provider of key duplication kiosks, said homeowners should be mindful of common security vulnerabilities, many of which go unnoticed until it's too late. A thief who wants to gain access to your home may do so by any means possible, including breaking windows or kicking in doors. However, those methods are loud and may attract attention. Instead, thieves will look to find the easiest house to enter. Consider these small changes you can make to deter thieves from your home. Close the Garage Leaving your garage door open may seem harmless, but it can signal easy access to thieves. An open garage suggests relaxed security habits and can make burglars assume doors or windows might also be unlocked. Keeping it closed is a simple step that instantly makes your home more secure. Make Your Home Look Lived-In Burglars often target homes that appear empty. Dark houses - especially after nightfall - can stand out as easy opportunities. Leaving a light or two on helps create the impression someone is home. If you want to level up, use light timers or smart bulbs to automatically turn lights on and off, even when you're away. Keep Your Home Visible from the Street Thieves prefer to work unnoticed. Overgrown trees, tall bushes, or dense landscaping near entrances can provide cover for someone trying to break in. Trimming greenery and maintaining clear sightlines from the street makes your home less appealing and more exposed - exactly what burglars want to avoid. Upgrade Entry Points to Improve Security Some relatively minor updates can make a big impact toward protecting your home. Start by assessing all home entry points, including secondary points like sliding doors, garage entries and basement doors. In addition to checking door frames, homeowners should examine strike plates, hinge security and whether existing locks are outdated. Add Eyes to Your Front Door with a Doorbell Camera Doorbell cameras are an affordable way to boost your home's security. Visible cameras can stop many would-be thieves as they don't want to be seen or recorded. Beyond deterrence, doorbell cameras let you see who's at your door, receive alerts and check on your home anytime, whether you're home or away. Install Smart Locks for Control and Peace of Mind Smart locks are another smart investment in home safety. They allow you to track who enters your home and when by assigning unique access codes. You can even lock (or unlock) the door remotely from your phone. With the ability to monitor, control and limit access, smart locks offer convenience and security. A local locksmith can help you choose the right option and handle installation, making the upgrade simple and stress-free. Connecting customers with professional locksmiths in their area, KeyMe Locksmiths provides comprehensive home security and lockout services - from key replacement to lock installation or repair - with more than 7,500 kiosks nationwide. These self-service machines utilize advanced technology for fast, accurate and "one-stop-shop" key copying, including home and office keys, car keys and fobs, mailboxes, padlocks and RFID access cards.

Keller’s Korner - 2026 Cadillac Championship By Neil Keller May 19, 2026 Welcome To Keller’s Korner. It Was Another Spectacular Cadillac Championship At The Trump National Doral In Miami, Florida. The Tournament Ran From April 30 Through The Final Round On May 3, 2026, Marking A Celebrated Return To A Venue Rich With History. From 2007 through 2016, the Cadillac Championship was held annually at the Doral before departing the site—only to make its long‑awaited comeback this year. The Trump Organization hosted the event, and with President Donald Trump, his family, and guests in attendance, the grounds featured a significant Secret Service presence throughout the weekend. During the final round, I spoke with Eric Trump, son of President Trump, and asked for his thoughts on the tournament. Eric responded, “This has been incredible. It is exciting with the best players in the world playing.” If this were the Olympics, it would have been an American sweep of the medals. Cameron Young, Scottie Scheffler, and Ben Griffin led the way, with many fans expecting Scheffler—the world’s #1 golfer—to take home the title. But Cameron Young ended all suspense early, winning wire‑to‑wire with a commanding six‑shot advantage. On Sunday, President Trump was on site, and the golfers were well aware of his presence, underscored by the heightened security around the course. After securing his victory, Cameron Young spoke about the experience. “He was just very complimentary,” Cameron told the media. “I’ve been fortunate to meet him before, and that’s especially with us golfers—it’s something he loves, and I think he appreciates how good everybody is on the PGA Tour. So, really just hugely complementary, and I, of course, thanked him for hosting us and that was about it.” He added, “It’s very unique. He’s a very, very interesting man. He’s very powerful, and it’s an honor to get to play in front of him. Hugely grateful to him and his family and his organization that has these beautiful properties and allows us to come and play great golf tournaments on them. This is a special place and a great championship golf course. I’m thankful to have it back in the schedule.” Spotlight on the Jewish Golfers As always, I make it a priority to highlight the Jewish athletes competing in sporting events. This year’s Cadillac Championship featured four Jewish golfers: Daniel Berger, Max Greyserman, Max Homa, and David Lipsky. Daniel Berger Daniel Berger, 33, grew up in Key Biscayne, Florida. At just 13 years old, he made a hole‑in‑one—an early sign of the talent that would carry him to four PGA Tour victories. Interestingly, Daniel never played for his high school (Dwyer High School) golf team in Palm Beach Gardens. I had the honor of speaking with his father, Jay Berger, who was watching his son at the golf tournament. Jay was a former world‑class tennis player who reached a career‑high ranking of #7 in 1990. I asked Jay who first introduced Daniel to golf. “That was me,” Jay said. “We expressed our desire for him to go for it as a career. He started playing golf at the age of 11 in Key Biscayne.” Jay added proudly, “He is a great kid.” Daniel finished the tournament at 6 under, tying for 23rd place. Max Greyserman Max Greyserman, 30, grew up in New Jersey and now resides in Palm Beach Gardens. He has one professional win so far and interviewing him was a pleasure—especially when I noticed the belt he was wearing, decorated with the Israeli flag. “I got this belt from Athletes for Israel,” Max told me. I immediately told him how proud I was to see it. When I asked how he felt about his Saturday round, Max said, “I did not play great. I shot even. This is a tough course.” I asked who first got him into golf. “My parents did,” he said. “I was only 3 or 4 years old.” I then asked if he had a Bar Mitzvah. Max smiled and said, “Yes, I did.” His favorite golf course? He didn’t hesitate: “Augusta National,” home of The Masters. Max finished the tournament at 4 under, tying for 38th place. Max Homa The second Jewish Max in the field, Max Homa, grew up in California and now lives in Arizona. In my view, the 35 year old is currently the best Jewish golfer in the world, with six PGA Tour victories to his name. Max has a Jewish mother, attended Hebrew School, and had a Bar Mitzvah. In a 2023 Masters survey about the Champions Dinner menu, Max famously said, “I’m half‑Jewish, so maybe I’d throw in my mom’s matzo ball soup.” The course played tough all week, with temperatures soaring into the 90s on one of the days. Max finished at 4 under, tying for 38th place alongside Greyserman and nine others. David Lipsky David Lipsky, 37, grew up in Southern California and has a unique background—his father is Jewish and his mother is Korean. David told me his parents introduced him to golf when he was ten years old. He finished the tournament at 4 over, placing 71st. Overall, this was a great tournament offering fun times for people of all ages. Neil Keller is a Jewish historian. Visit www.NeilKeller.com to learn who is Jewish.

With a staggering 18 charted hits and five Top 10 records, few bands ever reached the heights of Jay and the Americans. The group features three original Americans – Sandy Deanne, Marty Sanders and Howie Kane – joined by the powerhouse lead of Chicago native Jay Reincke, who has fronted the group for the last 13 years. A full band with live brass will recreate all the magic moments and the special memories created by their decade-long string of hits. This performance is on sale at full capacity without physical distancing limitations. Ticket purchasers will be notified of up-to-date Healthy & Safety Guidelines prior to each performance. Jay And The Americans “ONLY IN AMERICA” - In one of the greatest turnabouts in Rock and Roll history, the group JAY AND THE AMERICANS, started by four teenage boys in Sandy Yaguda’s Brooklyn basement 40 years ago, have bought back their rightful name in federal court, restoring the name to it’s rightful owners. Very few bands have ever reached the musical heights of JAY AND THE AMERICANS. From 1962- 1971, this group charted an unprecedented “12” top 10 records. With three original band members, Sandy Yaguda (aka Deane) founding member, Howie Kirschenbaum (aka Kane) original member, and Marty Kupersmith (aka Sanders), original member, plus the addition of “Jay” Reincke, the third Jay and probably the best yet, .. they have recreated the authentic sound of all of their greatest hits that everyone remembers. JAY AND THE AMERICANS first record was “TONIGHT” (from the Broadway Musical WEST SIDE STORY), and their breakout hit song was “SHE CRIED”. JAY AND THE AMERICANS next chart hit was “ONLY IN AMERICA”, followed by top ten hits “COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER” and later “THIS MAGIC MOMENT”? Where were you when you first heard “CARA MIA”? JAY AND THE AMERICANS pay tribute to the late ROY ORBI- SON with “CRYING”, and no other band in history has sold more copies of the song “SOME ENCHANTED EVENING” than JAY AND THE AMERICANS. NEIL DIAMOND ‘s first hit song released, “SUNDAY AND ME”, was recorded by none other than JAY AND THE AMERICANS, who have toured with such legendary artists as ROY ORBISON, THE BEATLES, and THE ROLLING STONES. JAY AND THE AMERICANS were a major force in starting the Rock and Roll revival with their album “WAX MUSEUM”, where they paid tribute to many great Rock and Roll artists with their versions of such great songs as “HUSHABYE”, “WALKIN’ IN THE RAIN”, and a song that reached the top ten “THIS MAGIC MOMENT”. You will hear all of these songs, which are featured in the new JAY AND THE AMERICANS’ show. In 2002, JAY AND THE AMERICANS were inducted into the VOCAL GROUP HALL OF FAME, placing them among the greatest vocal groups in Rock and Roll history.
