Fort Lauderdale at Night...

I like Fort Lauderdale during the day. The abundant sunshine and palm trees swaying always makes this place a tropical playground. But at night the city moves to a different vibe. Things seem different, the air is fresher and the music is faster. I've taken some pictures on my Sprint LG Android Phone. It's a simple camera phone with no flash...Here are some of night views from this week in Fort Lauderdale...

Fort Lauderdale's centennial celebration is this month!

 Early evening along the sea wall. The wall is styled after a wave. The ever changing neon colors adorn the wave wall, as runners, pedestrians meander along this scenic path. The wave wall starts at Sunrise Boulevard and ends at South Beach Park. Trendy Las Olas Boulevard (Spanish for The Waves) starts at the beach and ends at downtown Fort Lauderdale...

As runners run along the wave wall at night, Swimmers swim in the well lit pool at The Hall of Fame Swimming.

 Mannequin's show-off styles, on well heeled Las Olas Boulevard...

There are many 24 hour diners in Fort Lauderdale. It's always fun to see the night people enjoying a meal during the late night or early morning. The Floridian Diner actually has great food day and night. This diner on Las Olas is a Lauderdale institution......

There is a vibe at Vibe on Las Olas in downtown Ft Lauderdale. Red velvet ropes corral young ladies  wearing Baby Doll dresses, as men with dark suits keep watch. This uber cool club is at the end of Las Olas.

Some diners are not open 24 hours...

Larry Flynt's empire stretches to the shores of Fort Lauderdale. This department store, is part novelty store, part exotic clothing, part video, and part marital aid emporium.....The Neon has a deco quality along Sunrise Boulevard...however the name Hustler, is not too deco....

The Iconic Gateway Cinema has been pleasing crowds for 60 years as of today!

 There seems to be a Publix Grocery store in every corner...in Fort Lauderdale.

 Yet, some vestiges of mid-century Fort Lauderdale shopping still exist This Jetsons-esqe drive-thru convenience store offers ice, beer, cigarettes and other items for people who do not want to get out of their vehicles....

Neon is everywhere! I wonder if I should join this club??
