Boca Raton, Florida
The meaning of the appellation "Boca Raton" has always been an
intriguing topic of discussion for visitors and locals alike. Many people
incorrectly assume the name is Spanish for "rat's mouth." The Spanish language,
however, has many interesting double meanings. For instance, the word boca (or
mouth) often described an inlet, while raton (literally mouse) was
also used as a term for a cowardly thief.
The Mizner Park grounds in Boca Raton are beautifully landscaped. Home
to decorative walkways and fountains that entice pedestrians to take leisurely
strolls through the site, the grounds also offer various restaurants, cinemas
and entertainment. Mizner Park provides an amphitheater located on the north
end of the grounds. This outdoor venue is the scene of numerous free concerts
and various family recreational events throughout the year. Mizner Park was
developed as a mixed use residential, commercial and cultural center, and has
become an absolute catalyst for many visits to the downtown Boca
Raton area. - information courtesy
