Hollywood, Florida - nightmare on the Beach.

"Come to Hollywood, Florida, if you want to commit a crime".

I remember when Johnny Carson once said, "Come to Fairmont, West Virginia if you want to get away with murder."

Tonight, like many nights, my husband and I sat in our house and listened to guns being fired in Young Circle, Hollywood, Florida.  Tonight, however, found the 6 rounds of gunshots going off directly outside of our windows.  Several bullet casings and one small bag of pot were found in the alley all around our house.

The trouble began over 4 years ago, when we actually moved into this "soon-to-be historic district" of Hollywood.  Anything and everything we have ever put outside for even one mere moment .... whether it be in our yard, our own back porch ... has been stolen.  Even our hard work to plant flowers in the front yard saw the plants individually dug up and removed from our property.

After several police reports filed and several letters to the Mayor, nothing has been done except that the police payrolls have been diminished and their pensions have been deleted.

So this is just another tourist town boasting huge dreams to travelers that will risk their lives to visit the beautiful Ocean.  I sure hope they can make it there and back in one piece.

Artisan Direct, Jayson Samuel is really Tyler Halperyn, who changed his name after serving time for fraud.  He is still taking thousands of dollars from artists and often not fulfilling his promises.  Many artists cannot receive back the artwork that he has taken from them.  Most artists are afraid to speak up because they just want their work back.

This is a public interview where Tyler Halperyn states that he just wants a second chance.  Unfortunately, artists are writing me every day about how they cannot get their work back from this man.  They are not sure if he lost their work or if he is selling it and not giving them the money.
