Just a few years ago, if you had asked just about anyone what they thought of “pop-ups,” the responses would’ve been hateful and disgusted across the board: “Those god-forsaken, invasive little adverts? They’ve completely buggered my computer! Have these people no shame?!” But times have changed for the once-dubious term…

Florida contains a city that is, for many, the Mecca of American motorcycling: Daytona. And yet the state’s most vibrant, crazed, burgeoning city, Miami, a city that is by all measures of science and quantifiable fact a far better city than Daytona, has almost no motorcycle culture to speak of…

Miami. It’s the Magic City in the Sunshine State. This town has too many superlatives and nicknames associated with it to list, but they add up to the same thing: it ain’t bad living in the sub-tropics. Our weather is the envy of Bostonians and Chicagoans who curse our tanned…

Tonight marks the grand opening of the Coral Gables Museum’s new exhibition, “Concrete Paradise: The Miami Marine Stadium,” which takes viewers through the history of the stadium, from its inception to the prospective renderings of its future renovations. The exhibition seamlessly interweaves the what curator Rosa Lowinger described as “the…

Rarely do Miamians take the opportunity to revel in this city’s rich, textured history. But those itching for a bit of past-provided stimulation need look no further than the Coral Gables Museum (285 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables) and its special exhibit, “Concrete Paradise: Miami Marine Stadium,” a limited-run event that…

III Points kicked off last night, and that means different things for different attendees, depending on what you fancy for the weekend. Some of you will be cruising from barbecue to barbecue; some will be flailing about to the sounds of Miami Horror and XXYYXX; while others still will be…

The III Points festival is nearly upon us and soon, artistic happenings will spread from Midtown to Wynwood like a red tide taking over the culture of the night. For some of you, the interest will fall on the music; for others on the visual artists; and some of you…

Have you found yourself wandering around Art Walk recently wondering where the party’s at? You’re mulling around on the sidewalk once the galleries have closed and Wood, Lester’s, and Gramps have all reached capacity with overflowing lines a stretching nearly a block and all you think is, What is there…

Over the last few days, you may have noticed an odd change spreading across the lower facade on the south side of the Freedom Tower. A constantly changing mosaic of faces fell over the mustard flanks of the building, arguably Miami’s most famous historical landmark in regard to our city’s…

Miami can be said to be the home of a lot of things: home of the torrential downpour, perhaps; home of the majestic likes of Trick Daddy and Rick Ross; even home of the Whopper (Burger King is headquartered here). This tropical wasteland is a vastly varied landscape, so much…

When you think of old school motorcycles, what comes to mind? Beards? Greasy boots and greasy jeans? Hard riders who keep themselves humble by finding meaning in the road and on their bikes? If any of these were part of the mental picture you painted, then this past weekend’s event…

As famed medicine men go, few figures are more iconic than Sigmund Freud — the man with the cigar, the snow-white beard, and the Viennese voice discussing sex, dreams, and the nature of man’s unconscious mind. Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, has in many ways remained more culturally relevant than…

You know those little 4×6-inch booklets that you find along the wall next to the dart board at Lester’s or in a neat pile sitting on the bar at Gramps? You know the ones — they’ve always got those interesting pictures and some funky reading material stitched together in an…

Most of the time, a sudden rash of rain can be a death sentence for an event in this town; Miamians ain’t about the soggy life. But lo and behold, this past Second Saturday proved to be an exception to that particular Miami rule, with a surprisingly activated turn out…

A little over five years ago, an organization called the Friends of Miami Marine Stadium was founded in order to champion the restoration and reopening of the long abandoned bayfront venue in Key Biscayne that had its doors closed by the city in the wake of Hurricane Andrew. It has…

Recently, one of Miami’s cultural nerve centers, the Miami Art Museum in downtown Miami, closed its doors for the last time and was officially put to bed and laid to rest. But fear not – the museum will open a new set of doors in its reincarnated form as the…

Soon, the Miami Art Museum as we know it will no longer exist. The Downtown mainstay that has stood as a cultural hub in the shadow of Government Center will be moving to its new home in Museum Park and will be rechristened as the Pérez Art Museum Miami in…

Soon, the Miami Art Museum (MAM) as we know it will no longer exist. The downtown mainstay that has stood as a cultural hub in the shadow of Government Center will move to its new home in Museum Park and be rechristened as Pérez Art Museum Miami in its new…

The Magic City. Vice City. Paradise Lost. The 305. Miami has a lot of nicknames and most locals love them. There is nothing short of cool in the four nicknames listed above — vices, magic, numerology. These are all things that we enjoy. But now there is a new name…
