Welcome to Fort Lauderdale and the Las Olas Isles. The City is known as the "Venice of America" and is often called the “Boating Capital of the World”. The Everglades are to the west, called “the sea of grass”, beautiful beaches are on the east. Water is everywhere; traveling around the City by water taxi on the Intracoastal Waterway, the New River and the surrounding canal system is a fun way to get around. The water taxis travel to the Las Olas Boulevard area which boasts many shops and restaurants. Traveling by taxi on the water lets you enjoy many of the fascinating properties and yachts that dwarf the average home. The Las Olas Isles are located just east of the shops and downtown Fort Lauderdale. The City has an ongoing program which entails the modernization and rehabilitation of the City of Fort Lauderdale’s water and wastewater infrastructure
The beer is flowing at Fort Lauderdale’s new sports bar, Bokamper’s, thanks to the hometown heroes at LMK Pipe Renewal. Named after former linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, Kim Bokamper, the new sports bar and grill recently opened its fourth location along the Intracoastal Waterway. The restaurant, which has well over 100 TVs, seats approximately 900 patrons and employs nearly 300 people, uses a 130ft. long, 6inch diameter PVC underground conduit. This underground conduit hosts a bundle of beer lines and beverage hoses, which travel from the beer cooler to the bar.
