Opa-Locka Appliance Repair

Although Opa-locka sounds Arabic, it is a contraction of the native American name for the area "Opa-tisha-woka-locka," which means a dry place in the swamp with trees. Obviously this would not readily fit on a letterhead and be rather difficult to remember, so it was shortened to Opa-locka. The Florida city of 4.2 square miles is located in the northwest area of Miami-Dade County. It has a population of approximately 15,000 residents, a large general aviation airport, three parks, two lakes and some of the most unique buildings in the country. Because it was based on the Arabian nights theme, it has streets with such names as Sabur Lane, Sultan Avenue, Ali Baba Avenue and the original Sesame Street. The Opa-locka City Hall has direct contact with the following departments: building and license, community planning, crime prevention, finance, human resources, parks and recreation, police, and public works and utilities.
