Yesterday morning, instead of writing my blog, I attended a talk on the future of F.A.T. Village. I learned that this is the new designation for the area that includes the old F.A.T. Village and the current Flagler Village, and that, instead of Flagler Arts and Technology, the acronym now stands for Food, Art and Technology. The new development on the site of the old F.A.T. Village, we were told, is going to incorporate art as an important component, with artists occupying space at extremely low rents. It was suggested that the monthly art walks might also return. But, like everything in Fort Lauderdale, it is going to take a while.
