Coral Springs Breaks Guiness Book of World Records

without comments

Coral Springs, Florida is one of the state’s most beautiful cities, and that is a literal descriptive statement. The city was specifically planned to conform to aesthetic standards and it has various regulations that restict the height that buildings can reach and it is also the first city to incorporate a McDonald’s that did not include the distinctive golden arches. It has been recognized as one of Florida’s most liveable cities and it has an extremely low crime rate. It is located about 20 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale, which makes that beach community extremely accessible and attractive to residents as well as the tourists who are enjoying a getaway in one of the hotels Coral Springs .

The community of Coral Springs is extremely friendly and the city has a very welcoming atmosphere. There are various festivals that occur throughout the year and most of the city turns out for. The Our Town Festival is one of the most popular and has occurred annually since 1979. It is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Among the city’s main claims to fame is the fact that it took over the Guinness Book of World Records status of having the largest hamburger and milkshake. This fateful event occurred during the city’s 15th anniversary celebration and the hamburger measured 26 feet and was an impressive 5,063 pounds. That puts a new sense of fear into the phrase you are what you eat. Meanwhile, as impressive as the record was, it only lasted for a little over a year before it was broken by an even larger monster burger.

Much of the city’s features and activities contribute do a small town feeling. This is also represented by the friendly and inviting atmosphere of the city. In addition, the town’s museum is located in a building that used to be the real estate office and one of its main landmarks is the Covered Bridge, which was the first official structure of this new city. It was built in 1964 and remains the only covered bridge in the state that is based on the public right of way structure.
