Hollywood St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Festival www.StPatricksParade.com 954-921-3404

There comes a day each year when the spirit of the Irish takes hold of all, and downtown Hollywood undergoes a stunning transformation into a verdant sea. The streets throng with a massive crowd, filling every nook and cranny of the downtown area as vibrant floats make their way through and bands strike up melodious tunes. This year, the spotlight shone on the renowned New York City Police Department’s Emerald Society Pipe and Drum Corps, a beloved mainstay of these festivities. The procession of floats commenced its journey down Hollywood Boulevard at the stroke of 1:00 pm, accompanied by live music and spirited dancing that reverberated throughout the afternoon and well into the night. Local businesses generously flung open their doors, welcoming both the families of the community and visitors from as far as the Emerald Isle itself. With its family-friendly ambiance, the Hollywood festival extends a warm and inclusive invitation to all. As the calendar turns towards March 10th, 2024, the anticipation for the next celebration brims with excitement. 2023 Best of Hollywood / OurCityMedia.com / 11

Hollywood’s annual Halloween party on October 28th was a spooky and thrilling event that attracted partygoers of all ages.

■ MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

HOLLYWOOD

UPDATE By Mayor Josh Levy

More than 7,500 businesses are registered in Hollywood and many of these businesses located in Hollywood because of our city’s prime location in the heart of South Florida between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. This includes our city’s largest employers: Memorial Healthcare System – One of the largest public healthcare systems in the nation, Diplomat Beach Resort - Ranked among the top 20 most popular meeting resorts, Brandsmart USA - A leading consumer electronics and appliance retailer in the southeastern United States, Chewy.com - A popular pet supply retailer whose passion is for all things pets, and HEICO Corporation - A top manufacturer of aerospace, defense, industrial and electronics components. Hollywood is home to innovative and future-focused companies like Quantum Marine and Sintavia, both located in our Port 95 Industrial Park, which stretches to our city’s northern limits from Griffin Road to State Road 84 west of the airport. Quantum Marine is the leading manufacturer of hi-tech stabilizers that keep yachts, military and commercial vessels steady in the open seas. Sintavia has the world’s largest independent metal aggregate advanced manufacturing plant right here in Hollywood, where parts for the aviation and aerospace industry are built through 3-D printing, the incredible technology that Sintavia’s CEO, Brian Neff, says is ushering in the 4th industrial revolution. Emerging tech firms also find a welcoming climate for business growth, including ClassWallet, a digital wallet solution headquartered in Hollywood that is simplifying purchasing and financial management for schools across the country by eliminating paperwork and manual purchasing processes. All these innovative and growing companies are important to our city, and equally important are our small businesses. From one-person companies to family businesses, and all others that provide valuable services on a daily basis. A big thank you is due to everyone who supports local small business, and I know that includes all of us. Congratulations to all the businesses that were selected as Best of Hollywood. Hollywood is proud to be a city that is always innovating to service your business needs. From our timely building permit processing to business start-up and development services, our city government is improving in every respect to service your needs.

If you were to ask anyone residing in or near Hollywood for the best municipal park to spend quality family time, TY Park would undoubtedly be the resounding answer. Its name, derived from the Seminole term meaning “gathering place,” perfectly encapsulates its essence. TY Park boasts a wealth of attractions, including a 60+ site campground, two enchanting water playgrounds, picturesque hiking trails, and numerous idyllic picnic spots. To add to its charm, the park features a splendid pond complete with swan boats, offering a touch of whimsy to your visit.

BEST OF THE BEST

reetings to all the readers of Our City Hollywood. This edition of Our City is particularly exciting. Throughout the publication are write-ups about all the small and large businesses that readers chose as the “Best of Hollywood,” and it’s always fun to recognize businesses that we love. Restaurants, hair salons, retail stores, doctor’s offices and all other types of businesses are a big part of what builds our community. We visit businesses to enjoy time with our friends and family, to manage our health and our finances, and for most of us, where we work to earn our own living.

Throughout the year, TY Park plays host to a variety of special events, with one of our personal favorites being the Camelot Days Medieval Festival in November. Families are invited to embark on a journey to a bygone kingdom teeming with artisans, valiant knights, melodious musicians, and perhaps even a few regal figures, creating a captivating experience that’s not to be missed!

Dr. Michael Surdis All Broward Chiropractic Pain & Rehab Center

With over a decade of experience in the health industry, Ilyas Hamid brings a wealth of knowledge and a heartfelt commitment to his work. His passion for health was kindled at a young age, as he witnessed various family members grappling with a spectrum of illnesses, including Breast Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s Disease, throughout his childhood and adolescence. These formative experiences served as a driving force, propelling him towards a career focused on health and well-being.

Among our readers, there’s a strong appreciation for the care offered by Chiropractic Doctors, and the title of Best Chiropractor was fiercely contested in this year’s ‘Best Of’ edition. It comes as no surprise that Dr. Michael Surdis of All Broward Chiropractic & Pain Rehab Center emerged as the victor, earning the trust and admiration of his many patients. With a practice that has spanned Hollywood since 1989, he has cultivated a devoted following. What sets him apart is not only his expertise but also his unwavering commitment to community engagement and his spirit of giving back, which have endeared him to many.

Ilyas’s journey led him to be a part of a pioneering Chinese Medicine program, a unique offering conducted by monks within the sacred walls of the Shaolin Temple. Here, he not only deepened his understanding of Chinese Medicine but also gleaned invaluable insights into the health benefits of practices such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Mei Hua Quan. Armed with this profound knowledge, Ilyas made a steadfast commitment to further his studies by making an annual pilgrimage to China, where he continued to expand his expertise and enhance his understanding of holistic health practices.

Chiropractic care is rooted in the belief that enhancing the function and well-being of joints and muscles can alleviate pain, reduce stiffness, and bring about substantial benefits for patients. Among the innovative techniques employed in this field is Spinal Decompression Therapy, which has proven effective in addressing a range of conditions, including lower back pain, pinched nerves, neck discomfort, sciatica, and numerous other debilitating and often painful ailments.

Lives Changed. Lives Saved. Late-stage kidney disease, the eighth-leading cause of death in the U.S., can affect people at any age. And the longer a patient must wait for a kidney, the higher the mortality rate. Every few days, a patient gets a new lease on life at Memorial Transplant Institute’s Kidney Transplant Program. We more than tripled the number of lives saved in 2022 over the previous year and were recognized as one of the best programs in the country, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. Together with Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, we are one of the few providers for adult and children kidney transplants in Florida. We offer so many options, including some types of incompatible kidney transplants and expertise for other hospitals’ most complex cases. And now our program is expanding to include life-saving pancreas transplants. In this, our fifth year of providing life-saving transplants, we honor our patients — and donors who shared the gift of life with them.

With limited resources, but a strong determination to succeed, Ann’s Janitorial Services embarked on its journey with a handful of employees and basic cleaning equipment.

Over the years, the company has grown significantly, employing over 32 staff members and extending its services to multiple states. Their dedication to providing comprehensive cleaning solutions has helped them establish a strong presence in both residential and commercial cleaning sectors.

One of the key benefits of being a member of a credit union like SUN Credit Union is the emphasis on delivering competitive loan rates, higher deposit yields, and reduced fees compared to traditional banks.
