Weston’s business community has grown dramatically as well, helped along, no doubt by the tireless efforts of the Weston Chamber of Commerce, whose purpose is to help build and strengthen the underlying economic fabric of the community.

Two Blockbuster video stores, two Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Parlors and a Dairy Queen, and let’s not forget Ben and Bob’s Gourmet Market to add that special touch to favorite recipes — everything within a few moments reach.

Perhaps thanks to its extremely diverse population, Weston residents have learned to work and live together quite comfortably. Members of the B’hai faith have organized a Unity in Diversity group which meets regularly and plans social events to help neighbors get to know and appreciate one another’s differences. B’Nai Aviv and First Baptist congregations share a parking lot — and sometimes help each other out by sharing synagogue and church when worship services overflow.
