Hollywood Becoming A Destination
From West To East - Projects Have Started To Lure Visitors and Residents Alike By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com Hollywood - You can see it on 441 - from Washington Street to Stirling Road. It’s happening on the beach and throughout downtown and the famed Young Circle. Once the second largest city in Broward County, the City of Hollywood has fallen behind Pembroke Pines as far as population, but not for what it has to offer everyone.

But opinions, even as heated as they may be, never result in the senseless and tragic death of five people who not only meant so much as newspaper professionals, but true family people that elevated the life of
those in that community. Because one mentally-challenged individual, who stayed just on this side of breaking any laws in the past, we lost Editorial writer Gerald Fischman, 61; assistant editor and columnist Rob Hiaasen, 59; editor and longtime sports reporter John McNamara, 56; editor and reporter Wendi Winters, 65; and sales assistant Rebecca Smith, 34. “It is indeed a tragedy, but something that we are living with in these times,” explained longtime writer/broadcaster Evan Aronson. “A publication like the Capital Gazette had that old time open door policy that Shooting, Page 6A
