In May, we posited that southern hip-hop and Fox News share much in common. Possessing both an anti-intellectual streak and a populist one, they’re beloved by red-staters and hated on by the coastal elites, be they liberals, hipsters, Ghostface or Nas. The piece concluded: If you’re still not convinced that…

Oh, the heat. It’s starting to becoming insufferable to be outdoors. Even if you make your way to the beach, the sand is too hot to stand on for more than five seconds and the water isn’t cool enough to offer an escape from the soaring temperatures. Even at night,…

What makes a world-class city? According to Eye On Miami, a city can have all the stadiums and museums it wants, but if it can’t provide its citizens with basic needs and services, achieving world-class status is out of reach: You can build a hundred stadiums but as long as…
In a time of such economic strife, I say screw the beef! Instead of dinner out on the town, I suggest one blow their shrinking wads of indulgence-flow on the savory, sweet nectar of catastrophe — booze. Yet, New Times doesn’t want you to waste your hard-earned cash on crap,…
Manny Ramirez is headed to the Marlins! A deal is close! Sources are saying it’s only a matter of time! Here we go! Ready? And…. the deal is dead. The Red Sox sent him to L.A. instead. Sad trombone sound Okay, so the Manny to the Marlins thing didn’t happen…
There is only one word that could describe last weekend: Boring. It was so boring, personally I went to bed most nights by 1 a.m. Come on Miami! I know we are at the height of the low season, but that doesn’t mean we have to get lazy. Unfortunately, things…

Greetings from Massachusetts! I don’t love to compare cities with awesome bicycle accommodations to Miami’s developing status, but I’ve been lucky enough to pedal around Boston this weekend and figured this would be a good chance to cover what’s going on outside of South Florida. I’ve not had the pleasure…
Now it’s just getting ridiculous. The Marlins continue to prove that no lead is safe against them, no matter the competition, no matter the odds. With the NL East leading Mets in town, the Fish took the first game of a three-game set last night with yet another tap the…
