A smash of 2,400 guitars to inaugurate a gigantic new parking garage while simultaneously gifting non-smashed guitars to area schools and providing jobs to locals — that sums up Wednesday night at Hard Rock. Say what you will about the place, but this is pretty cool. Also, Huey Lewis and…
Throughout time, the nativity scene has morphed from a quiet religious symbol into a lively Christmas staple that manages to outdo itself year after year — for better or worse. Some renditions start off serious and become ridiculous; many are so cheesy they would even make baby Jesus chuckle, and…
A street-solicitation ban in Miramar went into effect Monday, and Sean Cononie, founder of the Homeless Voice shelter in Hollywood is not happy — in fact, he’s “confused” by Miramar’s claim that the ban is meant to ensure safety. Cononie’s shelter is largely funded by its residents, clad in neon…
Fort Lauderdale and 3-D pop artist Charles Fazzino have a mutual love for each other that began with his post-college art-peddling and partying days in the ’80s and has ballooned into his role as the city’s Official Centennial Artist and Official Artist of the Winterfest Boat Parade.

Nothing says “royal wedding” quite like a new single from Snoop Dogg, especially when it’s his dirtiest song yet — really. Newly engaged Prince William, prone to blushing, probably turned a new hue of reddish-pink when he heard “Wet” for the first time. …
It seems David J. Stern’s allegedly fraudulent ‘foreclosure-mill’ business practices may have extended to the way he laid off his employees.

The Tea Party’s grassroots methods have proven effective in this year’s elections, for better or worse. And now that the conservatives have a strong foothold, it seems the same bottom-up mechanism is beginning to churn out a new message: Allen West 4 Prez…
A fried turkey in Palm Bay yesterday did not turn out as planned. Instead of a crispy bird, this family ended up with a cooked shed with damages of about $15,000, according to the AP. Luckily, no one was injured, but cooking the holiday centerpiece is a persnickety process when…

We hate bombs, hate radiation, and (most of us, some?, no?) hate getting groped by strangers, but America, it seems lately, we can’t have our safety and keep our dignity too. People are really upset about this, and it’s great that they give a damn, because it would be really…
If you like a good mystery and need a fix, look no further than the Broward Sheriff’s Office website — your skin will crawl. Found & Forgotten is a database started just shy of two years ago to publicize cases in which someone lost their life in Broward County but…
The yellow light. That’s a main point on which the DUI manslaughter trial of former Yankee, Jim Leyritz, rests today. “The critical decision for jurors is whether or not Letritz ran a red light or had yellow before the crash, meaning [Fredia Ann] Veitch [the victim] would have run the…
At the advice of several friends, retired photographer turned real estate broker Bob Deutsch did some housecleaning recently. He swept his old prints and negatives out of his closet and arranged for a collection of them to rest somewhere with more fresh air, on the walls of Dennis Dean Galleries…
Jimmy H., a South Florida electrical engineer, developed Establishing Solutions to cover the asses of liars and cheaters with a paper trail and references to add credence to their sly-dog manipulations.
