Rejoice, University of Miami Hurricanes fans and local documentary aficionados: The U is getting an official sequel. The original, which details the rise and fall of the University of Miami’s football program from the ’80s until the early ’90s, has become a sports doc cult hit and one of the…
Between 2003 and 2012, 1,539 pedestrians died while walking along the streets of South Florida. That’s more pedestrian deaths in any other major metro area except for New York and Los Angeles. So, sadly, it’s not much of a surprise that Miami has been ranked the fourth most dangerous metro…
Basketball is the most frustrating sport to watch as a fan, because even when your team wins, the other team scores a good 30 to 50 times. And when your crew loses? It’s the worst. Nobody likes to lose. Losing is for losers. Heat fans know the drill all too…
Memorial Day weekend is just three days away. That means Urban Beach Week — and its hundreds of thousands of revelers — is once again slated to descend on Miami Beach. Three years ago the event was marred when police fired more than 100 shots in an incident that killed…

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.

After a few days of torrential rain, waterspouts, and tornado warnings to end last week, this weekend brought glorious sunshine and cool ocean breezes — meaning half of Dade County spent Saturday and Sunday wading in the Atlantic Ocean or enjoying Biscayne Bay. They weren’t alone out there. (Cue ominous…
Mary Baker knows Pinetree Park like the back of her hand. Every morning, she walks her dogs beneath its eponymous pines. And every evening, she returns. As the setting sun glints off Indian Creek to the east, butterflies flit around the community garden. On an island infamous for sin, the…
The Miami Heat’s 107-96 loss to the Indiana Pacers Sunday was about as enjoyable to consume as a poop-filled Chipotle burrito, but then again, people frickin’ love Chipotle no matter what, so maybe that’s a bad analogy. Seriously, though, this game was shitty. It was a wire-to-wire collective sitting-in-a-circle-holding-hands crapping…
