The actual Super Bowl showdown may not be until a week from Sunday, but the parties are beginning as early as Monday. Not only are you invited, but unlike most of the uber-fabbo throwdowns on the Beach this week, it won’t cost you $5000, either. The crew from Fox Sports…
Don’t let the lush, tropical grounds surrounding University of Miami’s Bill Cosford theater lull you into thinking things are just as delectable on the inside of the movie house. They’re not.

After an hour long deliberation Tuesday, a Miami Dade Jury found Henry Marshall, a.k.a. “Orange Man,” guilty of the armed robbery of Leon Valentine in 2005. He will be sentenced in a week or two, prosecutors said. Due to his history as a career criminal, the judge must sentence him…
You know the Save Darfur cause has gathered steam when people rally in Miami, a place where political activism (except the anti-Castro kind) goes to die. Perhaps unsurprisingly then, finding Thursday’s rally for Darfur at the county government center downtown took a little doing. Originally planned for the outdoor plaza,…
See those horns? Inexplicably, death and pestilence have yet to descend on the heads of Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer and his malevolent minions at the city council. But have no fear: That day is drawing near, as surely as the Second Coming will take place next Wednesday at noon…
Miami City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff is concerned about the quality of life of your dog. That’s why he is sponsoring a change to the zoning laws that will allow dogs to hang out in outdoor seating areas at city restaurants. The proposed legislation will be heard by the commission during…
Closed for (boat) business: below mile marker 113, on Blackwater Sound in the Keys Expansion work on US 1 in the Keys is obliterating the reason for going there. In addition to being a likely contributor to the algae tide choking swaths of Florida Bay, the work on an 18-mile…
A fight over might The Miami-Dade Police Department’s public corruptions unit has scalped its fair share of unscrupulous public officials over the years. They busted former county Commissioner Miriam Alonso and her husband for using her political campaign contributions as a personal slush fund. They nabbed former airport administrator Richard…
Nothing says “Superbowl” like tombstones, tent cities, and tours of shame. Next week, as most folks prepare for The Big Game by going to Publix to buy chicken wings and beer, some local activists — including Umoja Village creator Max Rameau — will protest gentrification and the lack of affordable…
Victory is not mine Juan “Iron Twin” Urango lost his title Saturday night. Ricky Hatton took him in a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the fight 119-109. It seemed as though Urango was hoping for a center square slug match against Hatton, who never gave him the opportunity,…
The countdown is on The second annual South Beach Comedy Festival landed on the beach with a bang this past weekend. Big headliners like Jon Stewart and Bill Maher performed at the Jackie Gleason Theatre, and solid B-listers like Roseanne and Jim Breur played to the smaller houses. On Saturday…
Forget about Lincoln Road or Coconut Grove. The funkiest clothing store in Miami is at 4600 N.E. 2nd Ave, on the edge of Little Haiti and the Design District. It’s tucked upstairs from a row of shops, in a converted apartment. Rag Trade Happy Clothing Co. opened Saturday with a…
Cousin (maybe) Totch In Everglades City, on the edge of the world, there’s a place named Leebo’s Rock Bottom Bar. There you will find a drunk named Floyd Brown — one of the last remaining survivors of the 100-man marijuana operation that got the majority of the town’s male population…
“You’ve reached what was previously known as Madiba Miami,” says the recorded voice on the telephone. “We are now open for private parties and catering only.” And so we bid farewell to this hip import from Brooklyn, which had seemingly settled in comfortably on the west side of South Beach…

People magazine has decided that Miami is no more worthy of a celebrity-hunting bureau than Washington, Austin, or Chicago. I can understand that People readers don’t care much about Nancy Pelosi or Oprah or… I can’t think of anyone famous in Austin. Lance Armstrong? But MIAMI? The celebrities will soon…
South Florida’s Juan “Iron Twin” Urango will defend his title this Saturday in Las Vegas. HBO will broadcast the bout at 6:45 pm. The cable network, and a number of news sources, are billing him as a straw man opponent for Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton, a limey with a 41-0-0…
Keep Out! Someone recently regaled me with too many details concerning a bout of food poisoning she suspected having caught at the raw bar of a waterfront seafood restaurant in Coconut Grove. I hear such tales quite often, and as one who dines out multiple times weekly, can sympathize with…
