Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Miami culture’s a hot commodity. For proof, look no farther than the case of AholSniffsGlue vs. American Eagle Outfitters. AEO found Ahol’s Wynwood murals so appealing that they allegedly ripped the artist off in their haste to use them to sell skinny jeans and graphic tees.
That’s a dick move, and you should be pissed off about it. But you should feel a little sad, too, for the people in the rest of the world whose only exposure to Ahol’s signature eyes was through AEO’s questionably legal, certainly unethical ad campaign. Not everybody gets to live in a town as great as Miami.
It’s up to you, then, to make the most of this and every weekend — to take advantage of your awesome surroundings by taking in as much of this town as you can. Here’s how to do just that.
