Miami is a city that thrives on youth. Who else but the young is supposed to fill up the decks of party yachts, regularly dance until five in the morning, and still look good frolicking on the beach the next day? Yet, Miami is not a city where the young…
Chances are you didn’t miss the Marlins being in the news this week for suing their own fans, but if you did, that’s a thing that is happening. What you may have missed is some Marlins news within the news, literally; Marlins TV host Craig Minervini went all cyber-Anchorman-feuding with…
On Wednesday, March 16, at a self-described “strip mall watering hole” out in Doral, someone made a terrible decision to perform a little song called “My Sacrifice.” It wasn’t just the fact that it was a Creed song that made the selection such an awful choice. Instead, it appears someone…
A lot of weird things happen in Florida every week. On Friday, we’re here to bring you the weirdest. This week: discussion of transgender students’ rights hits a new low in Florida, a woman voluntarily shows a cop a video of her buying cocaine, and a man tries to pull…
Since the Nineties, Memorial Day Weekend in Miami has been synonymous with Urban Beach Week, the legendary hip-hop festival that inspires nonstop partying across South Beach. But 2016 may go down as the last time festival-goers got to enjoy the beach all by themselves. Next year, the beats may be drowned…
Donald Trump’s two-pronged line of attack against Marco Rubio was that he was a tool of the Republican establishment with an abysmal attendance record as a U.S. senator. The line of attack worked so well that Trump shellacked Rubio by nearly 19 points in Florida. Rubio’s home-state loss was in…
To see it is to love it: On Thursday morning, Key West Police issued a photo of a glorious, real-life Flintstones car, complete with a dinosaur bone-shaped window and zebra upholstery. But this was no silly “Hey, check this out!” type post. The vehicle was parked illegally across from the…
In August, Florida voters will decide on a proposed amendment that would provide property tax cuts for anyone who wants to buy solar panels or other renewable energy equipment. If passed, it could lead to a lot of Floridians looking into installing solar panels on their roof. Though, tax breaks…
Miami is a city that seems to reinvent itself every ten years or so. Change is a constant. Neighborhoods are always reinventing themselves. Cranes and jackhammers are always busy erecting new buildings. We’re so used to it, sometimes we don’t even notice when it happens. In fact, looking back just 10 years…
King of Diamonds is arguably the hip-hop world’s most famed strip club. It’s a 50,000-square-foot warehouse packed with more than 200 dancers, some famous for clinging to the rafters before spiraling down a pole as dollar bills fall like a summer downpour. “It’s like going to a party at LIV,…
New Miami Hurricanes head coach Mark Richt didn’t come to Miami to build his resume, he didn’t come simply for a paycheck, and he didn’t come to mess around. He came to rebuild a legacy, and in case anyone doubted that, Richt reportedly plans to donate $1 million of his own money…
Chicago-based LaSalle Investment Management dubs itself as “one of the world’s leading real estate investment managers” and their mega-profitable flip of Miami’s most iconic skyscraper certainly proves why. The firm announced today that they’ve sold The Miami Tower for a cool price of $220 million. LaSalle originally purchased the property then…
There are plenty of good reasons to criticize Florida Governor Rick Scott. Two videos purporting to be from the loosely organized hacktivist group “Anonymous” fail to make them. The videos, produced in the familiar style of Anonymous, popped up in the past few days on an obscure Facebook profile registered…
VFW Hall 3559 is a bizarre relic of an earlier time in glitzy South Beach. Hidden inside the Floridian condo tower, patrons have to ring a bell at an unmarked side door and get buzzed in via hidden camera. Inside, sweeping views of Biscayne Bay contrast with a grimy, smoke-filled…
If it seems like you can get almost anything delivered to your house these days, it’s because, for the most part, you can. Need a set of champagne flutes or a can of Fancy Feast or an extra phone charger? Amazon Prime Now can get it to you for free…
Jeb Bush built up a pretty nice life for himself after he left Florida’s Governors mansion.

A day before he was scheduled to surrender to the Miami-Dade state attorney’s office on corruption charges, Opa-locka City Commissioner Terence Pinder drove his car into a tree near Opa-locka Executive Airport. The crash proved fatal, and by all indications, it appears that Pinder planned to commit suicide. According to The Herald, police…
Mickey Axelband may be the Miami Marlins’ biggest fan. Ever since the baseball team’s first game in 1993, the 59-year-old, bald veterinarian with lively green eyes has been a season ticket holder. He’s attended every single home opener and final game of the season. He sweated through thousands of brutal…
Fishing guide Mike Conner putters his skiff across the Indian River Lagoon near Stuart, about a two-hour drive north of Miami. He used to bring clients from all over the United States here to stalk delicious pompano, yard-long snook, and the Holy Grail of inshore fishing: sea trout longer than…
Florida is the biggest swing state prize in the general election. It’s also one of the most complicated to win. So, with Donald Trump having all but officially wrapped up his party’s nomination, you’d think his campaign would already be at work plotting out its path to victory in the…
Hurricane Season doesn’t officially start for more than a week, but apparently Mother Nature is itching to get a head start. A system of tropical concern is already developing out in the Atlantic, and it has the possibility to develop into a Tropical Storm that could target Florida. If it…
