Palm Beach County Fire Rescue has reported two accidents this afternoon via its Twitter account.
Most recently, above we see that there was an accident on Escondido Way near Lyons Road. Escondido is just south of Glades Road.

Google Maps shows some traffic impact on Lyons going southbound from Glades. PBCFR recommends avoiding the area.

Attention West Boca Real Estate Agents

for-sale
For the past few months we have been writing articles about local real estate transactions. Here’s an example of one: March home sales in 33428.
We would like to work with real estate agents on these articles. We’re looking for one agent for each zip code we cover (33428, 33498, 33496, 33434 and 33433). The agent would write one article a month about home sales in their assigned zip code. In addition to the regular content, the agent would be able to include a banner ad about themselves, a featured listing, and would have an author description at the bottom of the article like you see on this one. If you would like to find out more about agencies in your area you can search online for real estate agents near me to find out more.
This will be a form of what’s called Native Advertising. We will charge a fee to the agents, based on the relevant zip code.
We will also work with the agents to advertise the articles on Facebook to increase readership, targeted to readers in that zip code. This will be much more cost-effective for the agents than the cards they mail to homes.
We are currently in talks with agents for 33428 and 33498, but we have nothing definite with either of them.
WestBocaNews.com has had over 40,000 unique visitors in April so far, and over 90,000 page views. We are also growing fast. Our readership is heavily concentrated in Boca Raton and particularly in West Boca.
If you’re a real estate agent and you’re interested, please e-mail Warren at [email protected].

Jidai Sushi Dinner Deal

jidai-dinner-deal
We’ve been fans of Jidai Kaiten Sushi since they opened. In kaiten sushi (回転寿司) you sit around the outside of a geometric shape and a conveyor belt brings various plates around in front of you. The sushi chefs are inside the shape – a triangle here. The color of the plate indicates the price.

Jidai is in the Shops at Boca Grove, on the west side of Powerline between Glades and Palmetto.

Jidai normally prices plates from $2 to $5, though there are other items on a menu you can order that are not on the conveyor belt. For their new dinner deal (see image above), the $2 and $3 plates have their normal price, and the $4 and $5 plates are reduced to $3 during a “happy hour” window from 5 – 7 pm.

We stopped by today for the Jidai lunch deal we wrote about previously – all the plates are $2. They are extending that deal until further notice.

We’re not just saying we’re fans. We’ve been there three times this month for the lunch deal. And it appears that the deal offer is working. They had a good lunch crowd today.

We enjoyed our meal today, as usual, and will be back for more.

Disclosure: Our first few articles about Jidai were written without any business relationship. After we wrote the lunch deal article we did an ad campaign for the article. The restaurant paid for the ads and paid us a small fee for managing them. We generally pay full price for our meals there but they have sometimes given us a small discount or a free item. The monetary value of what we have received is trivial and we really do love the place. We have talked about doing another ad campaign but this article was written with no compensation.

Reflexology Coming to Loggers' Run

reflexology-loggers-run
West Boca News was in Loggers’ Run Plaza today and we saw that a new tenant is coming in between the post office and Monkey Joe’s.
Reflexology is:

an alternative medicine … involving … pressure to the feet, hands, or ears …. It is based on … a system of zones and reflex areas that … reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands ….

Like many types of alternative medicine, there are critics who doubt its effectiveness. West Boca News takes no position on that, and we don’t know whether this storefront will be an office for practicing reflexology or perhaps a store for related products. When we find out we will let our readers know.
