The number one rule of social media and the number one rule of crime should be the same: Don’t post your crimes on social media, and make sure no one else does either. Two Miami-Dade teens ignored that golden rule and wound up behind bars today after a video of…

Miami is not only losing its City Attorney, but a police officer. Today, during her last city commission meeting Miami City Attorney Julie Bru spoke up at the dias to ask Miami Police Officer Suzy Izaguirre to marry her. Because gay marriage is not legal in Florida, the couple plans…
Miami Beach would normally love to be on any best dressed list, but real estate site Movato’s ranking of the town as the tenth best dressed small city in America is sort of a double-edge sword. Apparently Albany, New York and Evanston, Illinois have better fashion sense than Miami Beach…
Florida’s strange legal code means you can kill a kid armed only with a bag of Skittles, claim self defense, and get off scot-free, but if you fire what you claim is a warning shot during a dispute with your abusive husband you get 20 years in jail. Marissa Alexander,…
The Miami Heat season not only comes with the drama of trying to threepeat but also with the added tension of the fate of the team’s big three during the following offseason. Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James all have the option to become free agents this summer, and…
In the second high-profile case of a white powder leading to the evacuation of a government office this week, a white substance was sent to Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia’s office in Key West. This one probably wasn’t crack cocaine, but it was oddly marked “Tea Party.”…

During last Saturday’s game, the Miami Hurricanes’ marching band and student fans performed a UM-specific rendition of viral hit “The Fox,” entitled “What Does the Ibis Say?” And apparently I’m getting really old, because up until I saw this I literally thought this song was just a really annoying jingle…
A cynic looking at Miami’s art boom over the past decade could make a strong argument that the art scene has been used as little more than a pawn by developers with the ultimate goal of selling more real estate. (See: the gentrification of Wynwood as the most obvious example.)…
A company associated with the Nakash family, which made its money off of Jordache jeans, recently won the bidding for the Casa Casuarina, more popularly known as the Versace mansion, on Ocean Drive. At first the new owners said they’d operate it as a boutique hotel in connection with the…
Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated unveiled their list of the best basketball players heading into the 2013-14 season. LeBron James was first, naturally. Though, Dwyane Wade’s spot at eight didn’t sit too well with the Oklahoma Thunder’s Kevin Durant, who himself took the number two spot. Durant suggested that his…
When Jeffrey Loria was seeking public funds to build Marlins Park, it came with the promise the Marlins would get better. Well, the team is only its second season at the shiny new park and they’ve hit a milestone the team has only hit once before in its 21-year history:…
Apparently when you win two championships in a row you can hold training camp in a place that usually caters to people looking to relax and party rather than, you know, train. Yep, the Miami Heat will be holding their training camp at the fancy, almost theme park-like Atlantis Paradise…

Yesterday, an envelope full of a suspicious white powder showed up at the the Deltona Water office up in Volusia County. Fearing the worst, authorities ordered the place evacuated. Though, after testing it was discovered the white powder wasn’t anything like anthrax, but rather crack cocaine. So, how’d it get…
Last names are so over. The NBA is reportedly entertaining the possibility of allowing the Miami Heat to display nicknames on the back of their jersey for at least one game against the Brooklyn Nets next season — probably because finding an excuse to offer a new limited edition LeBron…
Embattled Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez is on the real estate move again. After selling his Miami Beach mansion for a tidy $30 million back in May, A-Rod has now “downgraded” to a luxury $2.1 million condo in a mid-beach tower. According to Gossip Extra, Rodriguez’s new digs are in the…
The best thing you can say about the Miami Marlins is that they’re not technically the worst. The Houston Astros have a worse record and TV ratings, and the Tampa Bay Rays have lower attendance. So when ESPN magazine decided to rank every professional franchise in all four major North…
Tyrell Johnson was only on the Dolphin’s preseason roster for a couple of months before the 2012 season, but apparently he liked Miami so much he still sticks around here to pee on the street. Johnson was arrested this weekend on Miami Beach for doing just that…
More often than not the loser of the annual FIU-FAU game gets crowned the worst FBS team in Florida. This year something weird and strange is happening. USF, who once touted itself as part of Florida’s “big four,” sucks in historic measures. They opened their season with a 53-21 loss…
