Maybe you’ve seen the meme floating around Facebook or Instagram. The one that says “Cuban coffee is the reason that crystal meth hasn’t taken of in Miami.” And there’s a hint of truth in it. Compared to the rest of the state (if not country), Miami-Dade doesn’t have a huge…
A lot of weird things happen in Florida every week. We’re here to bring you the weirdest. This week: a Miami couple who found Naples just a bit too boring, the tale of Mistress Creammy Juicy, unlicensed massage therapy, and two women who would rather have Publix groceries than the…

You ever wonder how Florida has more Democratic voters than Republicans, has voted for Obama in the past two presidential cycle, has razor-close Gubernatorial elections and yet still send 17 Republicans to the House and only 10 Democrats? It just doesn’t make sense, does it? Well, Gerrymandering and the way…

The Terminator is back, dropping one-liners in postapocalyptic Los Angeles.

You don’t have to look very far to find examples of gringos playing white Cubans in our culture. There’s Taram Killam’s portrayal of Marco Rubio on SNL. Jimmy Fallon dressing up as Pitbull on Th e Tonight Show. Al Pacino in Scarface, of course. Some examples have been met with…
You know as far as Republican members of Congress go, Miami’s Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is probably one of the coolest to intern with. She’s got a well documented sense of humor. She’s the longest serving female Republican in the House. She sits on the powerful Foreign Relations committee. She’s down…

Demand for Miami properties from South American buyers continues to subside as the economic situation changes and exchange rates fluctuate, and that’s left Miami developers searching for a new hotbed of potential buyers to tap.
