Community pride for St. Patrick’s Day By Larry Blustein sfsuntimes@aol.com HOLLYWOOD - Today is officially St. Patrick’s Day, but for some residents, it’s the culmination of a week-long celebration that began last Sunday. The annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival filled the streets of Downtown Hollywood, and for the 18th year, this quality event certainly did not disappoint.

An entire apartment building can become “sick” from water leaks which turn into mold causing respiratory problems, headaches and rashes in some people. But mold from leaks can also be served up a la carte, one apartment at a time. Although both new and old apartments are at risk, experts say water leak problems are increasingly cropping up in new-construction apartments.
