‘It’s a village.’ Hellenic chef discusses community love after window vandalism
A vandal smashed 10 windows at Hellenic, a new Coral Springs restaurant, with police saying the suspects used smoke to help conceal what they were doing. The upside: The community quickly rallied — one local group covered the insurance deductible for the repairs and the restaurant kept operating (with the chef saying any extra donations will be put back into the community).
13-year-old girl on e-bike airlifted after crash at Shell gas station, cops say
A 13-year-old girl on an electric bike was hit in a crash at the Shell station at Coral Ridge Drive and Holmberg Road, police said. The teenager was airlifted to Broward General with non-life-threatening injuries, and the driver stayed at the scene and cooperated.
Coral Springs expands small business opportunities with zoning change
City commissioners approved a “flex zoning” change that opens the door for more small-scale, artisan-type manufacturing in commercial areas — think woodworking, textiles, jewelry, coffee roasting, and print/design studios. The commission also OK’d up to $3 million for several projects, including school field improvements and fiber expansion.
