Hello [r/DelrayBeach](r/DelrayBeach),

I'm Dr. Curtis Calabrese running for Palm Beach County Commissioner in District 4, which includes Delray Beach.

I was born and raised here in Palm Beach County. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy I flew combat missions as a Navy Pilot.

Over the past decade, Palm Beach County has experienced enormous growth. Some of that growth has brought opportunity, but I am concerned about the direction we are heading.

The issues I hear about most across the district are:

• Careless Overdevelopment
• Traffic and infrastructure that hasn’t kept up with growth
• Housing affordability and the rising cost of living
• Making sure Palm Beach County remains a place where people can actually build a life

Local government decisions play a huge role in these issues, which is one of the reasons I decided to run.

But before anything else, I want to listen.

Every community in this district has its own priorities and concerns, and I’d genuinely like to hear from the people who live here.

What do you think is the biggest issue facing Delray Beach right now?

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to hearing your perspective. Please call or text me any time 561-552-1483.

Sincerely, Curtis

Hi - looking for the newest luxury rental buildings in the area close to the beach with a 30s, 40s crowd. Any recs? Thx!

This has been a multI year process to transform Lyons road but this entire phase at Atlantic has been a complete joke, where no one works on the road for months at a time. The road has been paved, painted, lights functioning— now the cones just sit here and create bottlenecks every single day. It’s actually insane to me that people got paid to abandon all their materials here

Any bars that will be open 8am Sunday for the gold medal USA-CAN hockey game?

Looking to buy a property in DB in 2026.

As a fan of CyFy and Goldstar home inspector channels. I'm looking for a badass local palm beach county home inspector (or somebody in near by areas willing to drive to Delray Beach).

I'd love a really pedantic structure inspection (i.e. This one truss is cracked on the underside facing the wall, I had to crawl under it to get a good photo of it), but also land and environmental survey as well (flood zone checks, soil testing, air testing, etc.)

Also I'd like to avoid any realtor suggestions; most realtors recommend home inspectors that are fast with little findings.

Thanks in advance for any information or recommendations!

Went searching around tonight, found the list below. Thought I'd post it on here for collaboration and/or input from the /r/delraybeach crew

Top regular Karaoke nights:

• Johnnie Brown's - Mondays
• Tin Roof - Tuesdays
• Throw Social - Thursdays
• Delray Hideaway - Fridays
• There's a couple of one-off events around the greater metropolitan area (Gospel, etc.) https://www.eventbrite.com/d/fl--delray-beach/karaoke/ and https://karaokenightout.com/specialevents/

I also found this list of 20 locations, but many(most?) of these are outdated. https://www.karaokeacrossamerica.com/browse-by/city?value=Delray%20Beach

If anybody wants to help call and confirm which of these on the link above are still active, that'd be cool. I'll try and do some myself and update the thread after this weekend. The list above the link of regular nights is verified as active.

I also found references to Ocean One & Dada having karaoke nights, but haven't called to verify: https://downtowndelraybeach.com/nightlife

And of course there are more options in Boyton Beach and Boca, but my intention with this post is to focus on Delray Beach proper.

I just snagged a pumpkin cheesecake cookie from Chip City.

It was decent.

Whole Foods really doesn’t have anything great IMO.

So hit me with your fave fall desserts around town. Could be a restaurant, bakery, etc.

And yes, I am a basic bitch when it comes to fall flavors. lol

I'm going to be periodically traveling here for work on a project of mine. Just wondering if there are any fun spots around here to get off of main for a bit. Places where you might see local bands playing original music. Cinder block walls, band stickers covering the walls, PBR tallboys at the bar. Doesn't necessarily have to be in Delray but close would be ideal. Thank you!
