How can anyone ever get tired of this? Just open your eyes and look at what surrounds us – and when all else fails, catch a sunrise or sunset like this one. The ever changing Miami Skyline will take your breath away every time. This photo was taken from a friend’s boat, on our way [...]
When last I visited the matter five weeks ago, Norman the Auto Magnate was only threatening to summon up the punitive powers of a recall campaign against the hapless and increasingly-beleaguered Carlos the Arrogant. What a difference a month makes: Now the Braman Bull has, much quicker than expected, accrued almost twice the necessary petition [...]
People in the Community You Should Know – Tara Rose – Jeweler Who are you? Tara Rose, owner of Ring Finger Studio What do you do in real life? I sell Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands made only with conflict free diamonds and recycled precious metals out of our Midtown Miami Studio. This means that [...]
All too true, and all too late, memes like these spread quicker’n a biological agent. Whiteflies are little winged buggies that cover your plants with a sticky paste and cause yellowing, wilting and death (to the plants, we mean).

Underpaid and underappreciated was the mantra as they protested outside the American Airlines Arena. Thousands of Miami Heat fans were heading to the Season opener when they were [...]
I can’t help but think that Jade Ocean and Jade Beach in Sunny Isles Beach, are high-rise evil twins.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire… Waves along the Skeleton Coast shoal thunderously before they curl, hissing and white, over the off-shore reefs. Have we mentioned that? Here’s where ships founder; that littoral lies littered with the broken bows and stove hulls of many a vessel, now but a wreck or a relic. Riches beckoned, but [...]
In an effort to stop the hemorrhaging of their property values, 13 property owners have filed Bert J. Harris Act claims with the City of Miami in regard the enactment of 35’ height restrictions on properties located in the MiMo Biscayne Boulevard Historic District (50 St. to 77 St. along the Biscayne Boulevard corridor).

We may not experience real seasons (other than rainy and sunny), but places like the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church Pumpkin Patch, don’t let you forget that Halloween is coming! Kids look forward to seeing these pumpkins every year…..they come in all shapes and sizes. So what are you dressing up as this Halloween?
Madam Mayor & Mr. City Manager: South Beach is a continuously shifting work in progress, like our shores whose sands wash up from and then return to the waves. Blink, and the city’s landscape will have already changed. Yet when I want to look around for reminders of what our tropical borough looked like the [...]
