Red-light camera operators are the tow-truck drivers and repossession kings of today's drone-flying, surveillance-obsessed world. Camera companies place tiny, cheap lenses on traffic lights, wait for you to inch too far into an intersection, and cackle into the sky as they and the cities that hire them siphon a few hundred dollars from your wallet. The cameras themselves might not even be legal in Florida.

The Turkey Point nuclear plant sits on the southern edge of Miami-Dade, but that doesn't mean it's the only county affected by the Florida Power and Light plant. Last year, Miami-Dade officials sanctioned FPL and warned that the canals used to cool the plant's wastewater were leaking into Biscayne Bay. Radioactive materials were...
Miami's cross-bay bridges are a treasure. Some of the city's purest joy comes when you're careening over the Julia Tuttle or Rickenbacker Causeway with the windows down, watching Biscayne Bay sprawling out under you as you laugh maniacally at how cool your life is compared to your college friends' lives up north. It's a small joy Miamians get to experience year-round.

Larry Flynt is, to say the least, one of the more polarizing figures in American entertainment history. The 74-year-old Kentucky native is the founder of the infamous Hustler, a porn magazine that since 1974 has pushed the boundaries of the public’s sensitives. It was his contribution to the porn industry that brought him wealth in the form of a diversified empire that now stretches into casinos, hotels, films, and retail outlets.

Florida legislators have long fought efforts to expand gambling. But apparently, their steadfast morals vanish when it comes to daily fantasy sports websites such as the controversial FanDuel and DraftKings. Once again, a lawmaker has filed a bill to make daily fantasy sports sites – in which people bet real money on real athletes in real time – fully exempt from state gambling regulations.
Revolution Live should not exist. Both man-made and natural disasters have pummeled the building for more than two decades. Cops, drugs, and shitty ownership have all tried to take it down in its previous incarnations as the Edge and the Chili Pepper. But there it still stands on SW Third Avenue...
Tomorrow is Election Day, which means American will finally be free of the Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton show. But seriously, if you didn't take advantage of early voting, the polls open in Miami at 7 a.m., and you can find your polling place at miamidade.gov/elections. And to sweeten the pot...
Florida is a hotbed for football talent, young and old. Many of Miami's high schools are basically factories for college football programs and, by proxy, the National Football League. When players retire, many of them choose to buy mansions on the South Florida coast. And because the state is crammed with retired NFL players, it's a mecca for both football-related wealth and injuries.

Late last week, news broke that the Trump administration plans to cut National Endowment of the Arts and National Endowment of the Humanities funding from the federal budget. “The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized, while the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely,” the Hill reported Thursday.
Miamians with cars are forced to bend over backward each day to avoid the nonstop gridlock that is downtown traffic during the day. Trying to travel between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.? Good luck getting to Doral in less than an hour. Ditto driving across the MacArthur Causeway.
Most people who regularly ride Metrobus are accustomed to launching horrid invectives at Miami-Dade Transit on a daily basis. Most of the tweets tend to hit some of Metrobus' greatest hits, including questions such as "Where did my bus go?" "What's the point in taking the bus if it's going to sit in standstill traffic?" and "No, seriously, did the bus I take regularly to work cross the wrong river and accidentally get trapped in the haunted bathhouse world from Spirited Away?"
Feeling a little nostalgic about the eight-year tenure President Barak Obama is about to complete?

Beginning this week, Miami has just the thing to bring back a smile, if even temporary, to your face.
Janet Reno's death from Parkinson's disease early Monday has left many African Americans saddened. She stood up for us when no else would. At the height of 2 Live Crew's fame, every law enforcement official in the state wanted to throw our asses in jail. Reno was the only state...
Lizz Winstead can't help but be funny. Even in the middle of a Minnesota thunder snow (“it’s a thing,” she insists), she quips about being the youngest of five, saying she always had to work to get attention. But now she’s not just trying to get her parents to listen. She’s trying to get America to listen too.

In the weeks since the 2016 presidential election, the Facebook group Pantsuit Nation has become a sort of support group for liberals. Started as a secret space for Democratic voters, especially those in red states, to voice their political opinions, Pantsuit Nation grew exponentially as the battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump grew more intense. Today it has nearly 4 million members worldwide, who daily post expressions of grief, messages of hope, and personal stories about how political policy has affected their daily lives.
Some people might recognize Seal solely from the scars that line his face or the tabloid tales that were the inevitable result of his marriage to and subsequent split from supermodel Heidi Klum. Sadly, though, those things have nothing at all to do with the music he's made over the...
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez has argued his decision to bow to President Donald Trump's bellicose order banning so-called sanctuary cities — which refuse to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement requests to deport undocumented people — was purely financial. Trump threatened to pull federal funding from cities that refuse to comply, and Gimenez says Miami-Dade could lose up to $355 million.
Apart from being a cultural melting pot, Miami has produced a fair number of talented local artists for a city of its size. Daniel Arsham, Hernan Bas, and many others have gone from high-school stars on the local art scene to national and international standouts. Apart from the tropical sun, the single thread connecting these artistic native sons is their affiliation with YoungArts — a national organization providing support for young creative minds at a seminal point in their development.
