Perhaps the most cliche thing you can do in this town is stick your head through a hotel-room window or luxury-car sunroof and scream something dumb, like "I love Miami!" or "Here's to the life!" into the warm night air. It's pretty much a rite of passage in South Beach, and...

There have been moments of greatness that make even the worst of times not so bad.
Vagner Dapresa walked into the West Flagler convenience mart looking for justice.

Murder evidence is pretty important, so you'd think the Miami Police Department would have a good place to store all of those key items in unsolved cases. But it turns out that for years MPD has kept vital evidence in a metal storage container under an I-95 overpass. As blogger Al Crespo revealed last month, the container rusted, letting in water and pests that destroyed evidence in more than 500 cases.
Thanks to the National Rifle Association, academic studies examining the impact of gun laws on public health are hard to come by. The gun lobby helped force the federal government to ban funding for studies that track how gun rules affect the homicide rate.

For most of us, mornings mean waking up to ten alarms, checking for social media notifications, and downing a cup of cafecito for that early boost.

There are a hell of a lot of Democrats in Florida. In fact, more of them are registered here than Republicans. Obama won the state twice. And the blue party has demographics on its side thanks to a growing, left-leaning Hispanic population.

Provided Stoddard's analysis is correct, the study shows...
This week has been a long one for Miami and the nation. We've elected President Trump, had our morning-after political hangover, and spent a lot of time at the water cooler asking, "What the f—-?"
