It wasn't an April Fool's joke, but it felt like it for hundreds of people who spent Saturday, April 1, at the Fort Lauderdale Pizza Festival. The inaugural event, which took place at the city's War Memorial Auditorium, was successful in drawing a large and eager crowd, many of whom stood in line for hours without receiving any food or drinks. In reaction, dozens of attendees swarmed the festival's Facebook page Sunday to report their experience. Numerous public posts to the page, including some pictured below, have since been deleted.
No matter how you're feeling about last Tuesday’s election results, we're all in dire need of some positivity to wash off the ick from nearly two years of the ugliest presidential contest in modern American history. They say all politics is local, and tomorrow, Thursday, November 17, the Miami Foundation...
The key to happiness comes in different forms and flavors. For many, it's circular in shape, delightfully sweet in taste but tart enough to make you pucker. It's a major key DJ Khaled has yet to mention: key lime pie. As Florida's official state pie, the heavenly dessert uses the tiny, tangy marble-shaped citrus fruit of the key lime tree, famously grown in the Florida Keys and even in our own backyards. Good news is we don't always need to take a trek over the Seven Mile Bridge to get our hands on some of the best. Those craving key lime pie can find various pleasant versions at restaurants throughout the 305. But the following ten spots know exactly how to make this always-sunny dish shine.
Ryan Masti could hardly believe what he was hearing. The soft-spoken college senior who'd grown up on a farm in a speck-size New York town listened breathlessly as a World Patent Marketing rep told him the company wanted to partner with him on his invention. In fact, the man told...
When Mitchell Kaplan, owner of Books & Books, had a chance to host what some consider the greatest living American writer, Paul Auster, Kaplan knew he wanted to do something beyond a simple book reading. "We were in talks with Paul about coming down here to celebrate his amazing new novel, 4, 3, 2, 1," Kaplan says. "His 70th birthday will have just passed, so I really wanted to do something special."

Imagine a remake of Cape Fear shot like Kubrick’s The Shining, with Max Cady recast as a child, and you’ll have some idea of the strangeness of Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Killing of a Sacred Deer. The film has quickly proved to be one of the most divisive titles at this...
Ask any Red Hot Chili Peppers fan which album is the band's best and, invariably, you’ll get Blood Sugar Sex Magik or Californication or maybe even By the Way. Some might even say the latest, The Getaway, reigns supreme, if only to hype themselves up for the band's latest tour, which stops in Miami this Saturday. But although those records can be called good, maybe even great, they pale in comparison to Stadium Arcadium, the Chili Peppers’ 2006 seminal, colossal double album.
Jeff Orlowski grew up wanting to be a nature photographer. But like so many in that field, his work now focuses less on capturing Earth’s natural wonders than it does on cataloguing their steady demise. “This is an entire field of professionals who are witnessing firsthand the falling apart of...
It's Sunshine Week, a nationwide initiative to promote transparency in government, so what better time to run through five bills that could chip away most at Florida's open-records law?
One look, and Ken Fusco knew his son was gone. Lying on his childhood bed in dark-washed jeans and a Western-style belt, the garrulous 24-year-old almost looked asleep. But Jason's skin was ashen, and he wasn't breathing. Ken's older son, Michael, carefully moved Jason to the floor and began CPR...

Since the early '90s, South Florida has been a hotbed for DJs and electronic music. Hip-hop and rock are, arguably, tied for second place in the region's musical popularity contest. But the politically bluer part of the Sunshine State is also home to an overwhelming number of country music fans...
The call came from California. A woman told Coral Springs Police she had recently learned something terrible: A South Florida man had molested her daughter for years. It began when the girl was just 4 years old. An officer noted the information and called the victim, who was then a...
As doctors made a final attempt to suction the fluid from his brother's failing heart, Jesús Jave-Castillo stood feet away but saw nothing. A set of sliding hospital curtains obscured Jenry's unconscious body, but Jesús could tell the prognosis wasn't good. At 2:30 p.m. March 18, 2017, a hospital staffer...
It's no secret that it's best not to live near one of the Environmental Protection Agency's Superfund sites. They're the most polluted places in America. But those sites also tend to be crammed near low-income communities and communities of color that don't live there by choice.
Last September, four Miami Dolphins players joined San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in kneeling during the National Anthem to raise awareness about police brutality and black inequality.
