It shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone who’s walked down Lincoln Road and heard the menagerie of exotic accents, but Miami is a particular vacation destination for European tourists. It’s the third most popular destination this summer of any city for visitors from the continent, actually. And apparently…
Taking out your iPhone to snap an Instagram pic or send a booty text late at night in Miami Beach might not be worth it. Miami Beach Police are warning residents and tourists to be careful with their smartphones after a rash of brazen armed robberies have struck the town…
