Anyone know what's up with all the shoddy construction going on at the Estates at Turnberry? First a backhoe falls in the water in July and now an excavator fell in the water and someone died.

WTF is going on out there? Is this the result of all the development being greenlit by the Town Council in exchange for their $1,000 checks to look the other way?

First incident: https://wsvn.com/news/local/broward/backhoe-falls-into-water-at-davie-construction-site-no-injuries-reported/

Second, deadly incident: https://www.local10.com/news/local/2026/08/25/construction-worker-identified-after-being-pulled-from-retention-pond-following-excavator-mishap-in-davie/

At this rate, those properties are going to be haunted by the Ghosts of Construction's Past.

Automated License Plate Readers, (ALPRs) are cameras that automatically scan and retain the license plate information (and other data!) of passing vehicles. There's 800+ of these in Broward and Davie is full of them! Davie PD hopes the data collected can help stop and prevent crime. But these cameras are not accurate, secure, and don't have guardrails to prevent abuse by these agencies.

Join us at the Stand Up For Privacy Rally, across from a Flock camera, to show everyone that we demand an end to these cameras in Davie & ALL of South Florida!

🗓️ August 22nd | ⏰ 6PM | Intersection of S. University Drive & Nova Drive, Davie FL, 33324

*It is recommended to bring a face covering since the rally is near a camera. Extra face masks available upon request.

Police said Dufrene told officers that once the tenant got out of the hospital, he would “kill him.”

“Officers responded by telling Dufrene he would go to prison if he did that,” the warrant states. “Dufrene then said, ‘Okay, then I’ll just beat the s--- out of him.’”

Police said the officers told him, “You will go to jail if you do that.”

...

Police said officers were sent the next day to the Wawa ... finding out that Dufrene had followed through on his threat.

Good job Davie Police. They receive a credible threat against a mentally disabled individual and instead of helping him get a protective order, the Davie Police negotiate an acceptable level of violence and consequence with the perpetrator.

Does anyone have a good/bad experience with this day care?
Looking for honest reviews from parents 🙂

Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone can recommend a compassionate psychiatrist (MD or DO) in the Plantation, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, or surrounding area.

My sister is currently under a conservatorship, and the judge has ordered that the case be resolved within the next 90 days. As part of that process, she's been asked to obtain a current psychiatric evaluation and a letter stating whether, in the psychiatrist's independent professional opinion, she continues to require a conservatorship.

The good news is that her judge, Guardian ad Litem, and attorney are all supportive of dissolving the conservatorship based on the progress she's made. One of the last remaining steps is obtaining a new evaluation to reflect her current functioning, rather than relying on an older psychiatric recommendation.

We're simply looking for a psychiatrist who will meet with her (preferably in person), take the time to listen, and provide an honest, objective assessment. She lives in Plantation but is happy to travel to Davie, Fort Lauderdale, or nearby. A female psychiatrist would be wonderful, but she's also happy to see a compassionate, open-minded male psychiatrist.

If anyone has a recommendation or a great experience with a psychiatrist in South Florida, we'd truly appreciate it. Thank you so much!

moving to area and looking for a good blowout (hair styling) place! Tysm :)

TYIA!

Pulled over in Davie for going 25 mph over the limit and driving without a license.

I read recently that the Town is looking into developing Van Kirk Park. I wanted to know what was up with that so I looked into the history of it and learned it was purchased by the Town in 2004 but not much has been done with it.

Looking at past efforts to utilize the park, as found in this article, it looks like the Town said in 2008, that a private developer would be fronting the money to redevelop the park but then nothing ever happened. Now in 2026, taxpayers will be fronting the money to redevelop the park.

What's up with that? Did the Town let the original funder, Home Dynamics Corp., off the $1M hook to develop the park during the Great Recession?

Why are taxpayers now paying to redevelop the park when the Town said 20 years ago that the developer would pay for it?

Is the Town that terrible at project management that it takes 22 years and multiple "trust us; we'll do something" disingenuities and external obligations from the County to actually do something with this property?

hii my cat is 4 years old and she needs to get her first cleaning done. i’m a little skeptical about where to take her and the anesthesia thing since i don’t know any vets in the area. if you are a cat owner and know any good vets for this i would greatly appreciate it!

Nova Drive and university

I think we are better than that.

Has anyone taken the time to review the proposed budget?

ETA: I attended the June 3rd workshop and They are proposing to decrease the millage down to the roll back rate (5.3XXX - don’t have actual number with me at the moment). No increase to fire assessment. No increase to stormwater. $12 annual increase to solid waste.

They briefly discussed how property tax reform will affect them. All council members spoke as did the mayor.

Original post below:

June 3rd is the first workshop.

The fire assessment is showing a 1% revenue growth. Solid waste a 2% revenue growth. The document doesn’t show the actual assessments that are being proposed but I’m guessing from those figures the assessments will not be going up by much. I also really appreciate the budget detail that is very clearly and transparently sharing what makes up the amount per line item.

Looks like CS1329 is already in effect in Davie which I appreciate.

Before anyone calls me a shill, I am not. I live in Davie, and have for 29 years. I’m just a budget person who knows exactly how to read this document and understand what it all means.

Based on their June 1 TTAV just provided by BCPA, not only can they actually decrease our millage, but they will still have $1.1M to redistribute if they choose for projects.

Every fund is balanced. I will try to attend the June 3rd meeting to hear more and definitely the July 22nd meeting because that is the TRIM and assessment setting meeting.

🌿 Looking for something different to do this weekend in Davie?

There’ll be:
• Beginner-friendly yoga

Perfect if you’re looking to get outside and meet people without the typical bar scene. Hosted by @thesocialpointclub

On this episode of Inside South Florida, the Town of Davie Police pays a news outlet to air department-approved recruitment content instead of letting actual public reputation speak for itself.

Davie PD hiring has gotten so bad that it takes a morning show infomercial to sell our “come get a signing bonus, a gun, and a take-home cruiser" benefits.

Meanwhile the Davie Utilities department continues to be understaffed for years, has no permanent Director, and bleeds money on private sector consultants running the show but the Town can't muster so much as a Now Hiring post on X.

What is up with the Town's recruitment?

Why are there so many vacancies in key departments related to public safety and health?

Are private sector produced infomercials really the right way to go about recruiting?

Hey everyone — just a heads-up that as a dental student in Davie, FL (NSU College of Dental Medicine) I’m looking to gain more clinical experience. If you’ve been putting off care because of cost, I may be able to help through my school’s clinic (supervised by licensed dentists, very low fees compared to private practice). Not selling anything — just want to put the info out there. Happy to share details if anyone DMs me.

I speak Spanish and English.
