Obama Campaign Office Opens on Lake Avenue

A sandwich board sign appeared on Lake Avenue recently near the Sassy Kat Lingerie shop announcing the opening of a local Obama re-election campaign office. The office opened in the small building behind the pink lingerie store, which was, until recently, occupied by a hat shop.

Sassy Kat Lingerie, at 609 Lake Avenue in Lake Worth now has an Obama campaign sign in front of it, pointing to way to a back building that is the location of a local Obama campaign office.

 
The owner of both buildings is Herman Robinson, a member of the city's Historic Resources Preservation Board and organizer of the annual Fourth of July raft race in Bryant Park.

The opening of the local campaign office in Lake Worth is reminiscent of Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, when local campaign offices were opened in far-flung communities like Key West.

According to the Obama campaign web site, the Lake Worth office is one of 98 local campaign offices that have opened in Florida in the past few months.
