Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
What’s up with the sudden chill? It ruined our plans to hangout poolside on Sunday with plenty of stiff drinks to go around. Well, the drinking still happened, but we were bundled up indoors.
The biggest news this weekend, of course, was the reopening of the Fontainebleau Hotel. Plenty of celebrities, including A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard and P. Diddy, were all spotted in the Magic City over the weekend.

But for those look for more of an intellectual kind of stimulation, there was always the Miami Book Fair International. Who are we kidding? Here is what you missed over the weekend:
