Indio, California, has Coachella; Chicago has Lollapalooza; Manchester, Tennessee, has Bonnaroo; and Washington has Sasquatch.

Talk to any person associated with the Miami-Dade school system long enough, and you’re bound to hear enough rants, complaints, and unanswerable questions to fill a book.

If you lived through the 1960s, you remember the hippie counterculture, the explosive sexual revolution, and the protests against the American government for the sake of world peace. Or maybe you don’t. There were a lot of drugs back in the day. On the other hand, if you didn’t live…
The Dark Knight Rises: Self-Important and Overstuffed, It Feels Like Batman Forever
The Miami Marlins kicked off their inaugural season with a flair of pomp, spectacle, and a gaudy home-run sculpture that lights up and spews water after every dinger and team win. They had a brand-new stadium, brand-new uniforms, new faces on the team, a new manager, and their very own…
For South Florida’s foodies, there’s the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Dade County art-aholics get to fawn all over themselves at Art Basel.

For…
