• The Inspector - Tumi Tells Fish Stories and Lies Too

  On December 5th, 2008 Tumi Restaurant in Margate (7926 W Sample Road) underwent a routine food inspection that resulted in 18 code violations, 7 of them deemed "critical." They were mostly run of the mill grease accumulations and food debris pile-ups, but one violation stood out. The willful deception of patrons by management is a heinous act and The Inspector is here to hold the villains of the restaurant industry accountable. Behold, verbatim from the inspection report:"Identity of food o

• Miami According to Brooklyn: Tattoo Conventions are for Jackasses

  To read past installments of Miami According to Brooklyn, click here. With the tattoo convention coming up this weekend in Miami, I want to talk about how these conventions are full of jackasses. I used to work for Eulogy Recordings, one of sponsors of it, and Madball is playing on Saturday - that's the only reason I'd go. And there are those people there who are really interested in the tattoo convention and going to see an amazing artist and getting actual work done. But then there are those j

• ABC News Loves Preacher Kid Story, Hates Attribution

  About a month ago, New Times published a story about an 11- year-old preacher named Terry Durham. Newspapers such as the New York Times had already printed feel-good articles about the talented Margate boy. But after spending time with Terry and the people who raised him, we realized there were some serious questions that needed to be addressed. For one, the adults in his life had criminal histories that had never been reported. And two, thousands of dollars in "blessings" -- as grandma Sharon M

• MP3s of the Day: New Jams from Matt Cleer of Consular

  Matt CleerMatt Cleer has a few new cuts ready for perusal that he has been generous enough to share with us. The Margate native and lead singer of the self proclaimed "bulldozer-core" act Consular has had his thumbs in a few musical pot pies for a while including IMtheDEVIL and mouthsewnshut. These particular ditties are a combination of electro dance beats with some crunk and industrial flavor thrown in. Personally I am feeling "frontonoz" most. Best of all they are free.  Download them he

  ​Although the days when skateboarders were viewed as non-conforming hooligans/destroyers of public property are not that far behind us -- it would be hard to find any skater who hasn't been harassed at some point by police or security officers -- the sport has been a suburban phenomenon and established itself as a legitimate career path. Since its inception in the 1950s, it spawned an entire subculture (albeit that subculture has been somewhat dilut
