Seemingly every discussion of Miami’s recent development boom includes someone sneering, “Yeah, and all those condo lobbies will be underwater in 100 years.” And every discussion of the potentially devastating effects of global warming on South Florida comes with someone quipping, “And yet they keep building towers down there.” But…
The Florida Supreme Court has ruled in favor of protecting a privacy right that many Floridians might not have even known they’d lost, and we have a convicted drug dealer to thank. Police departments often use cell phone data and spying tools known as “stingrays” to track people’s locations through…
Jean Mirabal’s attempt to buy a car couldn’t have been a bigger disaster. After purchasing a Toyota 4Runner a friend had seen a for sale sign in at a gas station, Mirabal went to register the car at a tag agency only to find out that the car had been…

Almost as soon as #fangate went down, people were already tweeting, “Well, The Daily Show ought to have a field day with that.” Naturally, last night’s comedy shows couldn’t help but take on Rick Scott and Charlie Crist’s bizarre debate tiff over an electric fan. In fact, Jon Stewart decided…

A married couple who had begun their day fishing in Biscayne Bay made a startling discovery this morning near the Julia Tuttle Causeway. They found the body of a woman floating in the water. Police say that the woman is believed to have been in her 30s and that she…
Politicians and fans have one thing in common. They both spin furiously. So it’s no surprise that Rick Scott and Charlie Crist are trying to spin last night’s bizarre brouhaha over a fan. Mind you, there are actually important issues to talk about, but let’s talk about #fangate. See also:…

Because what fun is the internet without arbitrary rankings? So we assembled a list of Florida’s most notable cities,…

Rankings-happy real estate site Movoto pulled out all the stops this week. It ranked nearly every ZIP code in the nation from best to worst. Of course, it’s a real estate site, so the criteria for “best” really means something more like “nicest to live in.” It also means the…

Support for Florida’s medical marijuana amendment has been riding high in polls for so long that it almost seemed like its passage would be a foregone conclusion. But a funny thing seems to have happened on the way to the ballot box. Two new polls show that the amendment is…
Apparently to outsiders, Miamians are intimidating. We’re those hotties you see at the bar and work up your confidence all night to go talk to, only to be instantly shut down. At least that’s the impression we get from Travel + Leisure’s 2014 version of America’s Favorite Cities survey. The…
More than three years after police on Miami Beach shot more than a 100 rounds into a car driven by Raymond Herisse during a busy Memorial Day weekend because they felt he was trying to run an officer over, the Miami Beach Police Department has enacted a new policy under…
