Finally a chance to write about cricket at Lauderhill after two abandonments in successive days (Friday and yesterday). Also a huge photo gallery. -
Sad that the #India vs #Canada match was #abandoned without a ball being bowled due to a #wetoutfield.
A huge #disappointment for the many #spectators who attended with great excitement to watch the game.
They would have loved to watch the cricketers in action in their home city.

Driving to the #MovieTheatre this afternoon, I saw a line of banners hung on poles advertising a #T20WorldCup #Cricket #tournament happening in #Lauderhill, #Florida (where I lived during high school).
The #demographic change there is astounding.
We were the second Black family in the city in 1973, now it's almost all Black, and heavily #Caribbean.

#US-born father, #CostaRica-born mother. Born in mixed-race neighborhood in #WashingtonDC. Moved to then all-#white #ChulaVista, #California. Moved to all-#Black #Gladeview/#Brownsville, #Miami, #Florida. Moved to almost all-#PuertoRican #ValleArribaHeights, #SanJuan, #PuertoRico. Moved to then almost all-white #Lauderhill, Florida. Joined the U.S. #Navy.
At 65, I've literally never known a sense of belonging anywhere, with anyone.

I first lived here, in #Miami, starting in 1965, just before #Hurricane #Betsy hit (second grade).
In 1970, we moved to #PuertoRico and in 1973 returned to live in #Lauderhill.
I joined the #USNavy in 1976, and returned in 1980 to live in various cities across Broward County, with a break to attend #FloridaStateUniversity in #Tallahassee.
In 1993, I moved back to #WashingtonDC, and returned to Florida (#Sunrise) in 2017.
I've lived half my life in Florida. It's always been weird as fuck.
