For 35 years, Diana Nyad has been pursuing one epic and possibly insane dream: Swimming non-stop the 112-mile gap between Havana and Key West without a shark cage.

For the past six months, West Coconut Grove residents have fought a developer’s attempts to build a trolley garage in the historic black neighborhood.

An Arizona prepper with an anti-government inclination told U.S. Marshals on Wednesday that he couldn’t be taken in alive. He was wrong.
