DELRAY MARKETPLACE – 6 PM WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2025
REVIBE – DANCE PARTY MUSIC
The crowd was large, the weathers was perfect, the atmosphere was terrific, but Revibe, despite advertising themselves as “Dance Party Music”, didn’t play a single dance song. However, despite the lack of disco music, my brother did his thing on the dance floor. I’m still working on a page of photos showing my brother on the dance floor. Here’s a small sample of him in action @ Delray Marketplace.
SIMPLY TINA SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT @ the HP THEATER
Four years ago, I saw a fabulous “Simply Tina” show at the Old School Amphitheater located in downtown Delray Beach. But I’m having a hard time, trying to find words which adequately describe last night’s incredible performance in our theater. I’m going to try and describe what I saw and experienced, but I don’t know if my words can properly document the quality and excitement of this amazing show.
Let’s start with the band, which was incredibly talented and professional. They started the show with an exciting, pulsating, rhythmic beat, and kept it going all night long. On almost every song, I wanted to get out of my chair and dance, but our stupid new rules prevented me from doing such.
I was very impressed with every member of the band, and I particularly enjoyed the multiple solos from both the sax player and the drummer.
As for Tina, I am once again at a loss for words. She looks and sounds so much like the real Tina Turner, that it was eerie. The crowd was focused on her throughout the show and with good reason.
When I first moved to HP many years ago, I saw what I think is the best show ever. It was an amazing performance by a fantastic Motown group. But last night’s Simply Tina show was every bit as good, and possibly even better than that Motown show a long time ago.
Because of another new rule, I am no longer allowed to take close up photos of the band performing on stage. However, I did manage to take a couple of long-distance photos. Hopefully, they will at least give you a feel for the excitement in the air last night.
DELRAY MARKETPLACE – 6 PM WEDNESDAY MARCH 12, 2025
Tailored Soul – Disco Music of the 70’s
Tailored Soul was fabulous, as they played one disco song after another on a beautiful, picture perfect evening. There was a huge crowd which was literally on the dance floor 2 hours straight, having tons of fun. I’m still working on the new page with all of the photos, which should be ready later today. But for now, here are a few photos which will hopefully get your attention.
We have an array of photos showing our HP friends and neighbors on the dance floor, having a fabulous time. To see all the photos, select “DELRAY MARKETPLACE” on the menu at the top of the page. Here are 3 sample photos to get your attention.
JANUARY NIGHT OUT CLUB EVENT – MUSIC by Warren Hill
Because of chilly weather, the event was moved indoors to the Clubhouse Ballroom. It was tons of fun, there was lots of food from Dalla, and dancing all night long by the large crowd in attendance. We have numerous photos which hopefully capture the fun and spirit of the evening. To see the phots, select WARREN HILL SHOW JAN 2025 on the menu at the top of the page.
JAYNE CURRY SHOW at our HP THEATER
About two months ago, my friend advised she just purchased tickets for the Jayne Curry show and asked if I bought my tickets yet. I said Jayne Who? Why would I want to spend money to see someone I never heard of? She in turn advised that she saw her last year and she put on a great show. I thought about it and said to myself, OK Tishkevich, give up the Sunday night football game and buy tickets to see Jayne Curry. I went to the show hoping for a pleasant, enjoyable evening of songs. Wow! Was I in for a major surprise? I was literally stunned by her performance.
Jayne Curry was so much more than just a singer. She was incredibly funny, a good dancer, vivacious, she had a great voice, and she was incredibly entertaining. Jayne has an A+ personality. The audience loved her from the moment she walked onto the stage.
She had an excellent 5-piece band, and she did something I always describe as critically important during a live show. If I can listen to your music on a CD, why would I want to see you in person? That’s why I say it’s very important for an entertainer to build a relationship with the audience. Jayne Curry was amazing in terms of the fabulous relationship she built with the audience last night. Her relationship with the audience made her show so much more fun and interesting than I ever imagined.
I am so thankful to my friend for talking me into giving up the Sunday night football game in exchange for an opportunity to see the Jane Curry show.
It’s a very rare day when, on a scale of 1 to 10, that I give a show a ten, but that was my rating last night. With one exception, everything about her show was excellent. What was that one exception? She kept reminding the audience she was 46 years old, which made me very jealous. I wish I could be 46 again.
PHASE ONE: PRELIMINARY ROOF INSPECTION REPORT
Phase One residents know the roofing experts we hired conducted inspections of almost 30 roofs in late December. Those inspections included all three models, the Duplex Monacos, and 8 Part Capris and the Quad Majorcas.
We haven’t delved into all the minor details of the inspections, but Mark Boling of Jack Brown and Associates gave us a preliminary overview opinion. I must say I am not surprised by his conclusions, which are a mixed bag.
Some of our roofs need to be replaced in the next one or two years, while others are probably good for another 3-4 years. But the Phase One BOD did its due diligence, so now we now have an opinion from a roofing expert with 45 years of experience in the industry.
As I’ve asked our residents before, do you want board members who have no expertise deciding when we should start are roof replacements, or do you want roofing experts, who based their professional opinion on actual physical inspection of a fair number of our roofs?
Here’s his preliminary general opinion:
- The roofs of the duplex Monaco style buildings are at or near their life expectancy and should be considered for replacement in the next 1-2 years.
- The eight plex Capris roofs would have approximately 2-3 years of life expectancy remaining.
- The four plex Majorca roofs have approximately 3-4 years or roof life with proper maintenance and repairs.
Please Note: The above is a preliminary report and opinion. It is not the final, detailed report. However, I felt it was important to keep our residents updated.
CHRISTMAS TREE @ DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH and a CHRISTMAS LIGHTS PAGE
One of the fun things to do in this area is visiting downtown Delray Beach during the holiday season. Every year, they have a fabulous Christmas tree lit up at night. The tree is located between the carousel [Merry Go Round] and the Old School Amphitheater. I went to see the tree the other night and was pleasantly surprised to see around 200 people, who came to see the site, enjoy the festive holiday spirit, and many of them were also online waiting to ride the carousel.
NOTE: We have a CHRISTMAS LIGHTS page where the homeowners transform their street into a magical place during the holiday season. To see what they did, go to the menu above and select “CHRISTMAS LIGHTS”. Here are a couple of sample photos from this page.
DRAMATIC RISE in HP CONDO FEES for 2025
DELRAY MARKETPLACE 2024 CONCERTS EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
The fabulous KRUSH PARTY BAND, the best and most exciting band to ever perform @ Delray Marketplace, was outstanding on November 6th. If you like Motown and Disco, you would have thoroughly enjoyed the evening. They played one great dance song after another, which had the crowd up on the dance floor throughout the entire show.
On opening night of the season, the fun filled, free Delray Marketplace Wednesday evening shows started off great. The first band performing this season was Rhona’s favorite, HAPPY DAZE. They were very good the first 45 minutes, mediocre for the next hour, and then terrific for the last 15 minutes of the show. They ended the evening with 2 fabulous songs from Chuck Berry and then Jerry Lee Lewis, which had a significant portion of the crowd up on the dance floor.
Every time I looked up, my brother was dancing with a different group of women, who loved hanging out with him on the dance floor.
NIGHT OUT CLUB: Halloween Boo Bash
On Sunday, Oct 27th, the Night Out Club, with DJ Arnie, sponsored another fun filled party at the Clubhouse Parking Lot. We have tons of photos, capturing the spirit of the evening as the crowd had a wonderful time. You can check out the photos on our Halloween 2024 page. Here is a small handful of sample photos to get your attention.
The hurricane landed up in central Florida, where there was lots of damage caused by flooding. The big lesson for HP residents who live in a villa, or a first floor garden apartment, is the importance of getting flood insurance from FEMA. Your homeowners Condo policy does not cover damage from rising water from the lakes, the canals, or rainwater.
If you still don’t believe the kind of damage we can suffer, please visit out Villa Roofs and Safety page to see the flood damage HP suffered back in 2014, Please keep in mind, those photos were taken almost 24 hours after the flooding stopped.
NIGHT OUT CLUB PARTY – MONDAY SEPTEMBER 16, 2024
Our fabulous Night Out Club sponsored a “Members Only” event in our ballroom. Lots of photos were taken at this fun filled event. You can view the photos by going to the menu above and then clicking on ” NIGHT OUT: SEPTEMBER 2024″
Just to get your interest, here are some photos from Monday night’s party.
On Friday August 23, 2024, HPA President Susan Levine, announced there will be no trial, which was originally scheduled for August 19, 2024. Why? Because the Paving Lady Lawsuit was settled. At this point in time, she is not allowed to give us any details of the settlement. We were told it would be several weeks before the specific details are released.
Four years ago, I was the only HPA board member who voted NO to the lawsuit, which Hal Pugach of Phase III, persuaded the HPA board to engage in. I advised our board members that 94% of civil cases in Florida never go to trial. Here’s what happens. After 3-5 years, both parties get tired of spending massive amounts of money on legal fees and come to an agreement. Very often, they settle for the same conditions they could have settled on in week one.
So far, the HPA spent over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on legal fees! Since our attorney will be working on the settlement details of the case for several more weeks, the legal bills could possibly approach $350,000.
NEW PRESIDENT of the PHASE II BOD
On Thursday July 18th, Wayne Goodman officially resigned as President and took over the role of Phase II Treasurer. Wayne also remained on the HPA BOD. The new President of Phase II is Mark Donovan, who promised open and accurate dissemination of all Phase II information.

HOT BRASS BAND CONCERT: THURSDAY APRIL 25 in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH
If you’re new to this area, you may not be familiar with the OLD SCHOOL SQUARE AMPHITHEATER in Downtown Delray Beach. For many years, that was the place to be on a Friday night for their exciting, free concerts. The place was always packed, and they have a large dance floor in front of the stage, just like Delray Marketplace. The amphitheater is much bigger than the one at Delray Marketplace.
Who performed? The band was “Hot Brass”, a Chicago based Earth, Wind, & Fire Tribute band. Hot Brass is an 10 piece band, who were phenomenal. In addition to the sounds of Earth, Wind, and Fire, they played songs from Chicago, and threw in a couple of Motown hits. The big question for us, is who had more fun? Was it the audience or members of the band? Here are just 3 photos. If you want to see all of the photos, please click on OLD SCHOOL SQUARE SHOWS on the menu.
WEDNESDAY APRIL 24 @ DELRAY MARKETPLACE
On Wednesday April 24th, a band called REVIBE performed at the last Delray Marketplace show of the 2023-2024 season.
