A personal realization occurred this past weekend, an epiphany of unbridled proportions. I have been fully converted from a sun seeking tourist to full-fledged local. This became apparent as I trolled around with a friend from out of town, performing the required duties of touring local attractions. The assumption is that he would be the one having a blast, but it turns out that I had just as much fun. Being the theologian that I am, I began to ponder why places such as Fort Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas Boulevard never become cliché. The uniqueness of Fort Lauderdale is that the attractions are not just places. The atmosphere surrounding these sites draws patrons year-after-year. As to why this is the case, each individual must explore his/her own reasoning. Perhaps it is seeing others enjoy the majestic beaches for the first time on a lazy afternoon, sitting at a different table at your favorite restaurant, or trying something new on the menu and discovering that it is the new favorite dish. The only question remaining is how you can ponder such profound questions if you haven’t been to Fort Lauderdale? That is a conundrum in itself. If only Socrates and Aristotle were here to help unwind this puzzling mystery. Whether coming from near or far, for the first time or the hundredth time, travelers should immerse themselves into what Fort Lauderdale has become.

The Intracoastal Waterway, that navigable series of rivers, bays, canals and channels that extends along the entire eastern seaboard of the United States, divides the beach areas from downtown Fort Lauderdale. It has been carved into an intricate series of man-made canals and channels that are now bordered by lavish homes with expensive yachts moored in their backyards. This neighborhood is the primary reason Fort Lauderdale is called the "Venice of America."
