Ray Sullivan's Miami Contemporary Dance Company, one of Miami's most celebrated and inventive dance ensembles, celebrates its 15th birthday with a premier performance at the Colony Theatre this weekend. Sullivan has entitled the evening "Light." He offers his audience not only a mediation on light but also portrait of the...
On December 30, New Times published a yearlong investigation showing local cops routinely broke department policy on Tasers: using the weapons on skateboarding teenagers, shocking the mentally ill, even killing 18-year-old graffiti artist Israel "Reefa" Hernandez. The most disturbing finding, however, was evidence that Miami Police Officer Vincent Miller had...
After enduring nearly a year of suffering from the construction on Alton Road, Macchialina Taverna Rustica has some exciting news to share. Not only has the restaurant's view improved significantly, but also, beginning February 8, it will debut a "Red Sauce Sundays" menu. What's more, owners Michael Pirolo (chef) and...
No matter how you end up feeling about it, there sure is a lot of movie in Mommy, Xavier Dolan's exuberant melodrama about an emotional firecracker of a teenager who, after being kicked out of a specialized school for setting the cafeteria on fire, goes home to live with his...
The honest question should be: Who really appreciated Purvis Young's work before his death at the age of 67 in 2010? The answers will surely be gushing with the hallmarks of insincerity and indignant self-righteousness of those who will claim to have been on the Young wagon before anybody else...

For years, Florida police agencies have secretly purchased mysterious devices called Stingrays. Manufactured in Delray Beach and sold for up to $134,000, the machine lets cops track cell phones. And even though Stingrays were bought mostly with anti-terrorism money and pitched as emergency-only options, local court records hint that police...
Another week and more to do. This week Miami offers up some great new museum exhibitions, live music, and interleague baseball. Even legendary author Judy Blume can't resist the 305, she'll be visiting to read from her latest book. Here are some of the best bets for this week: THU...
Under Florida law, sex is technically considered sex only when it involves a consenting p in a consenting v. The only legal definition the state has for "sexual intercourse" goes on to specify that "emission of semen is not required" -- in case you were wondering. Oral and anal sex,...
Last weekend, construction equipment on an Overtown construction site was set on fire. It was a likely arson. The blaze provided a highly visible symbol of long-festering discontent in the historically black neighborhood. But residents themselves have been blighted by a much less apparent injustice: As the CRA and other...
Nationwide and in Miami, outrage over police violence against African-Americans has reached a boiling point, fueled by the lack of indictments in the Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice cases. So it's beyond baffling why the North Miami Beach Police Department not only used photos of local black men...
Another police controversy, another case of cop unaccountability. North Miami Beach officials apologized Tuesday for city police using mug shots of black men for target practice. In what seems to be a national trend, however, no cops were held accountable for the incident. "It's real sad," said Lisa Kelly, the...

STK, the sultry South Beach steakhouse that was set to reopen at 1 Hotel & Homes, has run into a major setback. The restaurant, which was supposed to open in December, according to parent company the ONE Group Hospitality, Inc., sustained water damage after a hotel subcontractor broke a sprinkler...
When the shots rang out, they came in flurries. The pops drowned out the music echoing through the Spot, a Caribbean restaurant in Liberty City that by midnight had transformed into a nightclub where dozens of local young people, some in middle school, flirted and rubbed sweaty bodies in the...

Last night's election results didn't look a lot different from 2010's election. Rick Scott snuck out a small but definite win over his Democratic opponent, but if you look at the exit poll data you will notice some shifting allegiances in Florida's electorate even if it didn't make much of...
As Jeb Bush's all-but-certain run to the White House ignites for liftoff, one of the biggest lingering questions is whether he'll hit any serious turbulence over his decades of sometimes questionable financial dealings since leaving Tallahassee. Well, it didn't take long for Bush's first financially tied mini-scandal. Last week, Jeb...
Juan Manuel Barrientos wants to tell a story. Part of it is about days spent at his grandmother's house in Fredonia, about 30 miles south of Medellín. There, she prepared lunches of thick carrot soup with chopped plantains and guava. At El Cielo, which opened in early January nearly hidden...

Next Tuesday, Biogenesis chief Tony Bosch will learn how long he'll spend in federal prison for running an illegal steroid operation. On one hand, he's admitted to supplying dozens of Major Leaguers -- and at least 18 Miami high schoolers -- with 'roids. He's also fessed to helping run a...

Miracle on South Division Street
Do you feel that excitement? The excitement only a midterm primary election can bring? OK, sure, both of the top-of-the-ticket races for each party's gubernatorial nominee may be foregone conclusions, but there were lots of interesting races going on elsewhere on the ballot in Miami-Dade. That includes legislative primaries, the...
