August 4, 2008Eats for Under $7: Breakfast or Brunch at JP's Bagel Place
It's not exactly hard to find a cheap place for breakfast. There are hundreds of chains which offer the typical eggs, pig product, and fried potato for a couple bucks, but they normally come with a much bigger cost. Try eating at a big time chain or fast food restaurant for breakfast and see how productive your day is. If you're anything like me, you'll spend more time wrestling with your intestines and the realization you just ate mass produced slop to start off your day. JP's Bagel Place in

April 2, 2009Mayor Manny Busts Obama With Scatological Humor
Miami Mayor Manny Diaz is the president of some mayor's only fraternity and like everyone else this holiday season, he has a wish list he's sending to Barack Hussein Santa Claus Obama.When it comes to Broward, Manny's got shit on his mind. Specifically, the "treated" sewage that Hollywood is currently dumping into the ocean. For only $92.8 million in federal funds, says Diaz, Hollywood will actually abide by Florida environmental laws. A bargain! (Hollywood promises that this time it will not bl
December 11, 2008Since You Can't Wrap Yourself in This Blog...
I didn't think anyone could do more to help the homeless people of Broward than New Times -- our boxes are frequently used to store blankets and the pages of the "print product" can both warm someone and serve as a feces receptacle, among other applications. But as it turns out, there a few people just a bit saintly-er than we Juicians. With temperatures expected to drop into the low 40s tonight, Sean Cononie and his crew at the The Homeless Voice shelter in Hollywood will be out doing a little
February 3, 2009Lobbyists a Wedge Issue in Hollywood
O'Sheehan voted to restrict lobbying in Hollywood.Maybe Hollywood Commissioner Beam Furr is right that an ordinance to ban private commissioner meetings with lobbyists is "unconstitutional." But it's still a shrewd move by Mayor Peter Bober and Commissioner Heidi O'Sheehan to champion the legislation. Or rather, to force their less savory colleagues to effectively vote for lobbyists -- a demographic despised only slightly less than sex offenders and journalists.Now in the next election, the chal
February 5, 2009Meanwhile, in North Miami Beach...
OK, so that faith in mankind thing lasted almost an hour. Meet the Marc family of North Miami. Mom's stepping out on Dad, but in what might be the most twisted way of atoning for sins in the history of extra-marital affairs, she allegedly lures her lover into a trap, then invites the kids -- yep, even the 10-year-old -- to participate in a spirited round of torture. And in unrelated news, another Catholic priest -- this one in Hollywood -- was arrested for child sex crimes.Happy Valentine's Day.
February 12, 2009Block 55: Economy Be Damned, Hollywood Charges Forward With Condo Tower
hanneorlaA sculpture in Hollywood Arts Park. In the background the dreaded Townhouse apartments, which will be demolished for the new condo.Admittedly, it's one hell of a challenge: how to transform Hollywood's hardscrabble downtown into something architecturally iconic, timeless in its appeal and vibrant where today it's stagnant. Well, nuclear physics is tough too, but there are experts who can do it for you.Hollywood has no objection to hiring these experts. Its Community Redevelopment Agency

Photo: City of HollywoodArtist's rendering of the condo that would occupy Block 55 in HollywoodNo city in Broward County has high stakes development decisions like Hollywood. It's why for the last decade it's become an emotionally charged issue. For all the fine points that fill the debate, the argument comes down to whether you believe the city should accommodate the developer or if the developer should accommodate the city. The projects have changed, but the debate has not. In Monday's post ab

No matter if you're in the mood for breakfast or lunch on a budget, The Little Bakery in Hollywood has you covered. If breakfast is your thing, the Good Morning sandwich is calling your name. $5.33 (after tax) gets you scrambled eggs, turkey, ham or bacon, and American cheese on fresh-baked bread or croissant. It's a relatively standard meal that is hard to mess up, but what makes it special is the bread. Everything is baked fresh daily, as is evident by the smell wafting up and down Harrison St
April 27, 2009In Hollywood: Mo' Money, Mo' Problems
The view on Garfield Street looking west to A1A. Parking lot on the right. Small hotels to the left.No really, there's money in Hollywood. It's just that it's concentrated on Hollywood Beach, where a Community Redevelopment Agency launched in 1997. In the years since, the agency has been flush with tax increment financing -- all the tax money collected in its area beyond the base year 12 years ago. So it can afford to build and to beautify. But it still has to do that in smart fashion, and
May 6, 2009One Minute Review: Istanbul, Hollywood
Not quite so grand as in the old country.Hollywood's oldest Turkish restaurant, Istanbul, has been in this same dinky location for 19 years, a small room that opens to ocean breezes and classic views of kids flying kites on the beach. And they haven't changed a thing from the plastic chairs to a menu of kebabs and Turkish pizza (except maybe the big flat-screen showing reruns of Turkish soccer matches). Istanbul introduced Hollywood's broadwalkers to foods that must have seemed exotic at the tim

Hollywood police have a new set of pecs.Hit cop show CSI Miami is getting a new cast member -- a cop from the Hollywood Police Department. There's no indication yet whether the show is looking to do a ripped-from-the-headlines-type treatment of the new character, who will be played by the usually shirtless Eddie Cibrian. But if so, the writers of CSI have plenty of material. Some possible plots:* Hollywood's chief admitted back in 1995 that cops had been hired despite psychological problems, cri

Flickr User: Paul ThurlbyFor Hollywood pols, sex offender legislation is a low-hanging fruit that may prove temptingTo piggyback on a Fred Grimm column in the Herald and a Smashed Frog blog post -- as well as the article that started it all, in our sister paper -- I'll venture a prediction that recent concerns about draconian laws regulating sex offenders will have the opposite effect on municipal policymaking. Let's make Hollywood a test case.A recently released task force report found that Hol

On Monday, LaBORatory Nights will be bringing their monthly tradition to Sage Bistro and Oyster Bar in Hollywood for an evening of wine and conversation.

They've managed to wring profit from an otherwise lost art: renting.An article in next month's Forbes magazine names Hollywood and West Palm Beach as two of the top ten markets for turning a profit on rental property.

Squint if you have to.Judging by the news release, it doesn't seem that the stabber made off with any money, aside from his own free ride.
