What the hell is going on with racist South Florida firefighters lately? Months after a Pompano Beach firefighter was canned in August for hanging a noose over a black firefighter's seat in a city truck, Miami now has its own disgusting racism scandal. Six firefighters were terminated this week for...
As sea levels continue to rise, Florida has taken a licking for its bad habit of climate-ignorant development. But despite warnings from the state's most brilliant and respected scientists, Gov. Rick Scott has more or less disregarded the issue, infamously banning the Department of Environmental Protection from using the term "climate change" in 2015. And though national publications such as Scientific American have taken developers to task for their reluctance to stop building along the coast, state law does little to discourage the practice.
Here's a sentence that perfectly explains the state of Democratic politics in 2018: Former Clinton Foundation chief Donna Shalala, who helped lead a major homebuilder during the 2008 housing crash and also made $5 million after sitting on the board of a massive, for-profit health insurance company, is poised to steamroll a crowded field of Democratic competitors in a race for the U.S. House.

After Miami Beach Commissioner Michael Grieco dropped his bid for mayor following a scathing Miami Herald report on his sketchy campaign finances, Beach residents were left with just four candidates to choose from.

A Miami ordinance allows for up to 100 pedicabs to operate within city limits, but unnecessary obstacles in permitting have stifled pedicab companies from breaking in. Consequently, Miami is one of few major cities without pedicabs as part of its public transportation system.
Citizen Rose is strongest at the beginning, when it juxtaposes McGowan’s present-day anguish with the media coverage of her as a young starlet in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

In the first episode of Comedy Central’s new nightly satirical late-night series The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, the host explains why he jumped ship from The Daily Show, where he’d been a correspondent since 2015. The Jordan Klepper who cocked his eyebrow through Daily Show field segments in a perfect...
Make no mistake: Jonathan Pierce has always been the creative force behind the Drums. Since the indie-pop band’s early days, he’s written all of the lyrics and most of the music. He maintained the collaborative façade partly because he feared vulnerability, he says. If the creative process was out in the open, any criticism of the music would reflect directly on him.

On last night's nationally televised Thursday Night Football, the rest of America got a taste of what Miami Dolphins fans routinely deal with on a weekly basis. The Dolphins' embarrassing 40-0 beatdown at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens this past Thursday was just the latest episode of what has been a season of some of the most disgusting offensive football the franchise has ever seen.
If the latest projections are accurate, Hurricane Irma's devastating eyewall won't hit Miami's downtown, urban core. Since this morning, the models have shifted west and suggest the heart of the storm is more likely to nail the Southwest Florida coast after plowing straight over the Florida Keys. But the latest...
In 2015, the Miami Marlins were ready to "live in the lap of luxury" after the team contracted with a swanky private jet company that promised to whisk players away on a Boeing 767-200 with couches, a massage table, and a premium open bar.
For six years, Ocean 9 Liquor has sold beer, wine, and spirits from its Collins Avenue store, which boasts free delivery and an onsite DJ. That all changed on a Friday last month, a new lawsuit claims, after code enforcement showed up with police and threatened to take store operator Doron Doar to jail if he didn't immediately shut the whole thing down...
Out of the eighty-two feature films at Fantastic Fest this year, eleven were directed by women, and four of those were co-directed by a man. For the slow in math, that means women directed only about 13 percent, which is pretty dismal, though on par with Cannes and 8 percent...

The Migration Policy Institute estimates that 24,000 Haitian nationals live between Miami and Palm Beach under temporary protected status (TPS), which is given to immigrants from nations devastated by political turmoil or natural disasters. Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, has been struck by both, including the infamous 2010 earthquake that leveled the island...
For a classic hip-hop group, Wu-Tang Clan has remained surprisingly relevant, but not due to any new music the group has released — not to the public, at least. In 2015, they famously auctioned off the only pressing of their long-awaited LP, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, to the...
For the past two years, three miles of roadway, including Flagler Street, has been under massive reconstruction to replace a 74-year-old water main, sidewalks, and traffic signals. Since then, dozens of Little Havana businesses have closed because of lost customers and revenue. Unfortunately, in May, Edukos, a Venezuelan gastropub, opened on West Flagler, just a block from Marlins Park. Because of the construction, John Guilarte, Edukos’ owner, struggles to keep the restaurant open.
