Best of Miami 2011 Readers' Poll Now Open

After a brutal recession, Miami's corpse has reanimated itself into something that's hungry for BRAAAAAIIIINNNNSSS!, er, a comeback. Sure, this zombie smells a little rotten and moves a bit slowly, but soon enough there will be an army taking over. No government-enforced quarantine will keep it down.Every good zombie takeover...
