Miamians take pride in being able to shrug off levels of summer heat that border on nuclear radiation. We regularly debate which windshield sun-shades work best to keep our cars from baking while parked outdoors in July. It’s not uncommon to see people jogging in 90-plus degree heat as if…
Since the Miami Dolphins selected wide receiver Jarvis Landry with the 63rd pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, he’s caught 400 passes for just over 4,000 yards and 22 touchdowns. To say he has been a huge part of the Dolphins offense since the moment he stepped onto the field four years ago would be an understatement.
On the morning of Christmas Eve 2014, a home healthcare worker arrived for his shift at the home of an 82-year-old Hallandale Beach woman. But when he entered the condo, he found Florence Wagner dead on her bed.
We are wimps. After all that whining about the hottest year on record, cold weather arrived this morning and everybody went crazy. Iguanas will fall out of trees, the Miami Herald predicted. Plants will die. Tourists will head elsewhere. Well, there is something to this. Yesterday, cold rain turned to snow…
Robert DiCrisci, CEO of the Miami-based pharmaceutical startup NextSource Biotechnology, was roundly criticized all over the world last week after the Wall Street Journal reported that NextSource had bought a 40-year-old brain-cancer drug and raised its maximum price to $768 per pill.
The highlight of the Museum of Ice Cream — the absurdly popular, made-for-Instagram installation that opened last month in Miami Beach — is the pool filled waist-deep with millions of rainbow-colored plastic sprinkles. It’s the stuff of social media dreams. But the sprinkles are turning into a real-life problem for the Beach, where city staff have gone as far as fining the organizers for creating an “environmental hazard.”
Few American airports shuttle more travelers out of the country than Miami International. But many travelers who’ve flown internationally from MIA since September 1 have been stopped by agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and guided to a small kiosk with a camera inside that resembles an iPhone the size of a shoebox.
For nearly five decades, the law in North Miami Beach has been clear: If you want to open a gun store, you must set up shop in the industrial areas of the city.
If Jeter and his ownership team are going to win over a fan base they’ve alienated before pitchers and catchers report for their first season in town, they’ll need to better understand what makes Marlins fans tick. Sure, holding town-hall meetings with a couple hundred season ticketholders is a start, but to really win over fans, Jeter needs to better understand them. Here are the CliffsNotes.
Bad sign: Twenty seventeen tied for the hottest year in Miami history, according to National Weather Service data. The mean average temperature for the year ticked up to 79.1 degrees Fahrenheit.
For nearly 40 years, a maximum dose of lomustine, a cancer drug that treats brain tumors, cost no more than $50. But after Miami-based startup NextSource bought the rights to the drug from Bristol-Myers Squibb in 2013, the Wall Street Journal says, the drug’s price spiked to $768 per pill…
On a Thursday in November 2007, Sherkendra Burch breastfed and burped her 6-week-old daughter, S’marri, and laid her down for the night on a queen-size bed. At midnight, Burch crawled in beside the girl and fell asleep gently holding her, the same way she did every night. But when the…
If your New Year’s resolution was not to waste any more of your life on the Miami Dolphins, you’re good to go until at least September. Or maybe you’re really super-interested the underrated free agents the Dolphins sign after April’s NFL Draft — um, no, it’s a lost cause. The Dolphins…
Most killings by police likely don’t need to happen. They are extremely rare in European countries — only five people were shot dead by law enforcement in the entire United Kingdom in 2017. According to figures recently released by MappingPoliceViolence.org, a national anti-police-brutality activist group, 1,129 people were killed by police officers in the United States in 2017.
The only definitive conclusion to be drawn from Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s latest interview with the Southwest Florida daily News-Press is that a swarm of wasps didn’t immediately spill out when the state’s junior U.S. senator opened his mouth. Otherwise, he conducted himself like the pathetic, indecisive jackass we all know and love. Asked about the catastrophic tax bill he just voted for this month, he full-on admitted the entire thing was based on a pile of lies and not likely to grow the economy or help anyone except major corporations. Merry Christmas!
Boca Raton’s GEO Group — the second-largest private-prison company in America, which makes a huge portion of its income imprisoning people on behalf of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — has repeatedly denied that inmates in the prison facilities it runs are forced to work against their will.
An average renter household in the Magic City needs $1,558 saved to break even after the holidays.
After a 10-2 season, ain’t this the shit?
Miami just wants to go one six-month stretch without a bystander getting hit by celebratory gunfire. Is that too much to ask? Every Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve, city and county officials must remind South Florida’s insane, physics-challenged residents that, indeed, when you shoot a gun straight up into the air, those bullets don’t just magically rocket off into the sun.
The president of the United States has spent more than a third of his time in office at his personal properties and a fourth at his golf clubs, Business Insider reported this week.
Before Miami Beach was the city of Miami Beach, pioneer John S. Collins planted a row of Australian pine trees along the barrier island to shield his avocado and mango groves from the wind. More than 100 years later, those pines are still standing — a remarkable feat, considering the average lifespan is 40 to 50 years.
Come Sunday night, another forgetful Miami Dolphins season will be in the books. This latest edition of Dolphins football is just the most recent in a long line of sub-.500 seasons full of broken promises, crushed hopes, wasted opportunities, and TMZ-ready drama. In short: This season was just about everything…
