So much for a soccer stadium at PortMiami. A plan to fill in a boat slip right next to AmericanAirlines Arena now appears to be the favorite among shareholders for Miami’s Major League Soccer franchise. City of Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez joined forces today…
It’s not North Miami if the mayor isn’t involved in some sort of scandal. According to the Miami Herald, North Miami Mayor Lucie Tondreau is set to be charged by the FBI with mortgage fraud. Tondreau had previously been investigated for connections to alleged absentee-ballot fraud but had so far…
A Miramar teen with almost as much time on his hands as he has growing up to do is in hot water after posting multiple tweets to the Miami Police Department claiming he would rape children. Of course, police responded, apparently to his surprise, and the 15-year-old now claims the…

In the 14 years of American Airlines Arena, Miami-Dade County has only received $270,000. That’s about to change.

The agreement will also keep the…
Plans to move forward with commercial development on land currently occupied by the terrace of the Miami Beach Community Church on Lincoln Road have been given the OK by Miami Beach’s Historic Preservation Board.

San Francisco filmmaker Ivan Cash is currently traveling through out the country and asking random strangers to show them the last photo they took on their phone. In the most recent installment he traveled to Miami, and, yes, there’s all the partying and hedonistic photos you’d expect, but also photos…
Every Friday, Riptide brings you the most eye-catching mugshots taken the previous week (or thereabouts) in Miami-Dade County. Yes, there is some mockery of bad neck tattoos, but also adulation directed at perps who just plain look more badass than we ever will. This is the italicized intro to that…

LeBron James has been unflinchingly stern in his opinion that Donald Sterling should sell the Los Angeles Clippers. Miami Herald columnist Glenn Garvin, though, has a few questions for LeBron about that. Mainly, he wants James to address every sports controversy to ever happen. James is understandably busy at the…
Is nothing sacred in this town? Do not even the lowest of the low have some respect for a man’s right to eat pizza in peace? What is this world coming to? Pablo Suescun, 21, was waiting for a pizza to be delivered to his Edgewater apartment. When he opened…
Well, here it is, your front runner for “most Miami news story of the year.” It involves a telenovela starlet, a fancy South Beach nightclub, a bouncer, people not being on the list, and a champagne glass. The only way it could get more stereotypical is if it involved cocaine,…

Joe Garcia’s life is like some less funny congressional version of Curb Your Enthusiasm. He keeps getting caught in these dumb embarrassing situations, and then we imagine this music plays. After video of him apparently eating ear wax live on C-SPAN 2 went viral yesterday, he went to Twitter to…
LeBron James might just take his talents home next season if Donald Sterling still owns the Los Angeles Clippers. In an excerpt released from tonight’s episode of Jim Rome on Showtime, Roger Mason Jr., VP of the National Basketball Players Association, says that he spoke with LeBron and that the…
Another day, another pointed reminder that Miami is an economic nightmare for all but the elite. Interest.com compared the average expenses for residents of the county’s major metro areas to the average income to find out how much “savings opportunity” a regular citizen might have at the end of the…
Over the weekend, the Miami Dolphins swiftly fined and temporarily suspended defensive back Donald Jones after he tweeted that seeing Michael Sam kiss his boyfriend was “horrible.” If we’re being cynical, it was basically a giant corporation that wants nothing more than to avoid off-the-field controversy administering what amounts to…
Elected as Rick Scott’s running mate, Jennifer Carroll became Florida first black female lieutenant governor ever. But to hear her tell it now it doesn’t appear that Scott was particularly eager to have a woman serving as his number two. In a candid interview yesterday with a Cocoa Beach AM…

Dwyane Wade is actually on the hunt for two types of rings this summer: his fourth NBA championship ring and, of course, a wedding ring. Apparently, one isn’t necessarily taking precedence over the other at the moment. His fiancée, Gabrielle Union, says Wade has turned into a “groomzilla” and has…
Who says C-SPAN is boring? If you watch closely enough, there’s all sorts of entertaining stuff going on. Like Miami-area congressman Joe Garcia digging into his ear and then apparently tasting the bounty during a House Judiciary Committee meeting last week…
