It seems a bit odd that in light of Miami’s out-of-control condo boom, the full plans for midtown Miami still have not come to fruition. This despite the fact that it was one of the few development projects that really thrived during the valleys between the booms. Well, according to…
Finishing off the end of a joint, the DeLisi brothers slid into a 7-Eleven parking lot just off Sample Road in Pompano Beach. It was the end of 1974, and they were ages 30 and 38, full of New York swagger, and feeling invincible. Tucked into the yellow 1965 Porsche’s…
Last week, New Times revealed at least two Miami Police officers had been customers of Biogenesis, the notorious Coral Gables steroid clinic at the heart of Major League Baseball’s biggest doping scandal, and that a former Florida Department of Health investigator refused to involve the force in his case after…

Seemingly every discussion of Miami’s recent development boom includes someone sneering, “Yeah, and all those condo lobbies will be underwater in 100 years.” And every discussion of the potentially devastating effects of global warming on South Florida comes with someone quipping, “And yet they keep building towers down there.” But…
The Florida Supreme Court has ruled in favor of protecting a privacy right that many Floridians might not have even known they’d lost, and we have a convicted drug dealer to thank. Police departments often use cell phone data and spying tools known as “stingrays” to track people’s locations through…
For all the Colbert and Daily Show hilarity and the week’s worth of Twitter hot takes, did Fangate actually matter in the race to decide who will be Florida’s next governor? Not according to a new poll out this morning. The Republican-leaning 0ptimus firm finds the two candidates virtually tied…
For Collon Brown, the revelation came in Toronto, when he was fiddling around with the large elastic bands that are used as truck tie-downs. Brown had already burned out of his career as a graphic designer and had lately become obsessed with yoga, meditation, and righting his body and mind…
It’s always nice when the good Dolphins show up. Most important, good Ryan Tannehill. Good Ryan Tannehill showed up Sunday. Tannehill was laser-accurate, completing 25 of 32 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns in a better-than-the-score-indicates-yet-still-booty-clenching-at-times 27-14 Miami Dolphins victory. Tannehill didn’t do anything overly explosive in the game…
Jean Mirabal’s attempt to buy a car couldn’t have been a bigger disaster. After purchasing a Toyota 4Runner a friend had seen a for sale sign in at a gas station, Mirabal went to register the car at a tag agency only to find out that the car had been…

Are you a 6’4″ man with an athletic build, a flare for loud fashion, a lot of money on your hands, and a hankering to do a little good for charity? Well, good news, because Dwyane Wade’s closet is currently on sale. Wade has teamed up with flash sale site…
Almost as soon as #fangate went down, people were already tweeting, “Well, The Daily Show ought to have a field day with that.” Naturally, last night’s comedy shows couldn’t help but take on Rick Scott and Charlie Crist’s bizarre debate tiff over an electric fan. In fact, Jon Stewart decided…
After days of flyers, signatures, and rising passion among neighbors who want a massive pile of toxic soil removed from Merrie Christmas Park in Coconut Grove, city officials at a hearing last night argued in favor of a much cheaper plan to cover the toxic soil with two feet of…
When Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado pitched voters this summer on developer Jeff Berkowitz’s eye-opening plan to erect a gigantic paperclip on the bayfront, he repeatedly made a simple promise in ads: “Taxpayers win without putting in a cent.” It remains to be seen if anyone will win with the massive…
A lot of weird things happen in Florida. We’re here every Friday morning to give you the week’s weirdest. This week: the biggest First-World problem ever, Walmart toy humping, a buttload of missing Crisco, and an important reminder that many of Florida’s craziest residents are not actually products of Florida…
Could Miami’s porn industry be responsible for the adult film industry’s latest HIV scare? On Wednesday, the American adult film industry ground to a halt after reports that an actor might have contracted the virus.

A married couple who had begun their day fishing in Biscayne Bay made a startling discovery this morning near the Julia Tuttle Causeway. They found the body of a woman floating in the water. Police say that the woman is believed to have been in her 30s and that she…
Politicians and fans have one thing in common. They both spin furiously. So it’s no surprise that Rick Scott and Charlie Crist are trying to spin last night’s bizarre brouhaha over a fan. Mind you, there are actually important issues to talk about, but let’s talk about #fangate. See also:…
Yesterday Eric Arem, a Hollywood resident, won a court ruling: His red light camera citation was thrown out. At issue was that Arem hadn’t actually received the ticket from the City of Hollywood. Instead, it was issued by a Tempe, Arizona-based company, American Traffic Solutions (ATS). ATS operates the majority…
After ranking all 34 cities within Miami-Dade County, we couldn’t help but wonder where the major cities of Florida would stack up. So we decided to answer that question ourselves, naturally. Because what fun is the internet without arbitrary rankings? So we assembled a list of Florida’s most notable cities,…
