Do you think this is some sort of joke? Miami is apparently in the midst of a comedy crisis, according to a new study that attempts to rank each of America’s 50 largest metro areas by how funny they are. Miami came in 48th out of 50…
Miami-based lawyer Jeff Herman is the nation’s leading attorney when it comes to handling high-profile sexual abuse lawsuits. He’s taken on the archdioceses of both Miami and Denver, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash, and now X-Men director Bryan Singer. Just two days after winning a $5.25 million verdict…

Max Strang is one of Miami’s leading young architects. He’s best known for his mid-century modern homes, and operates out of a Coconut Grove office. Though, his firm also keeps a satellite branch in a remote part of Telluride, Colorado. So last fall when he was looking to fill a…
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…
The NBA Playoffs begin Sunday for the Miami Heat against the Charlotte Bobcats, and lord knows it’s not their first time at the dance. It will be the team’s 18th appearance in their relatively young 26-year history. That of course has led to a lot of dramatic playoff moments. Here…
If you’ve collected two or more DUIs in Florida, a judge can force you to install an interlock device in your car. The device requires you to blow into it before you can start your car. If it detects alcohol on your breath then it prevents your car from starting…

The Miami Heat may be entering the NBA playoffs as a second seed, but they’re tops in another set of standings. For the sixth time, LeBron James’ jersey was the top seller in the league. The Miami Heat, meanwhile, sold more merchandise this season than any other team…
Despite an aggressive push in Tallahassee, car service app Uber’s hopes to enter the Miami market are on the back burner once again. A bill that would prohibit local governments from placing restrictions on chauffeured car services has now been amended so that it affects only Hillsborough County. Despite this,…
Last month, Ashton Kutcher made an unplanned cameo during a Florida Senate Transportation Committee meeting, when lobbyists played a clip of the Two and Half Men star and Uber investor on Jimmy Kimmel Live blasting Miami for not changing long-standing laws to accommodate the upstart car service. “Basically, it’s like…
We’re sure that after yesterday, the last thing you want to hear about is more taxes. But you’d better get ready to pay a lot more of them if you’re a frequent online shopper. Amazon will begin charging Floridians a sales tax May 1, just like any brick-and-mortar store…

The meat of downtown Miami is separated from the waterfront parks and attractions by an eight-lane highway complete with median surface parking. It works, but it’s not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing setup. Well, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) has finally picked a plan to redevelop a stretch of Biscayne…
The old rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t pay more than 30 percent of your income on rent and utilities, but in Miami that’s becoming a near-impossible guideline to stick to. A new Zillow analysis shows that the median rent (not including utilities) in Miami is equal to about…
Former governor Charlie Crist addressed the non-partisan Forum Club of the Palm Beaches on his plans to unseat current governor Rick Scott. The Scott campaign responded by sending Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera to give an instant response to the media. Crist, apparently channeling his inner Frank Underwood, pulled a major…

The U.S. Coast Guard unloaded roughly $110 million worth of cocaine in Miami Beach this morning, which actually carried a rough street value of about $330 million. The more than 3,300 kilos of llello were interdicted during two separate incidents as part of the Coast Guard’s Operation Martillo, an operation…
The Marlins surprising 5-1 start had us feeling positively optimistic. Maybe this season wouldn’t be a slow, painful march to MLB irrelevance. Maybe, just maybe, this would be the first season the team actually lost a playoff series! Sadly, reality has set back in. The team is in the midst…
When we decided to tally up the most popular Twitter users in Miami, we weren’t sure what we were going to get. Real fame or local fame doesn’t necessarily equate to Twitter fame. After all, Dan Marino barely made the list at 50, and LeBron James came in second. To…
Pundits, Republican insiders, and pollsters all seem to think former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is planning on making a presidential run in 2016, but you’re not a real presidential contender until you’re properly parodied on Saturday Night Live. Well, on Saturday the show brought out new cast member Beck Bennett…
According to estimates, Florida is slated to become the third most populated state in the nation sometime in the next few years. Though, one of our senators seems to think it’s already happened. “My state of Florida is now the third-largest state,” Sen. Bill Nelson said last week during Senate…
