Super Bowl week is here, and people and entrepreneurs from all over the U.S. are traveling to the Big Apple to cash in on the throng of football fans hitting up all the events leading to the Big Game. One enterprising Florida woman also decided to jump in on the…
Nothing quite kicked a hole in the social fabric of South Florida than the pill mil craze of the early aughts. Back during the boom, it seemed like every strip mall in the tri-county area packed a pain clinic where you could scoop up weapons-grade pharmaceuticals. Now, after a crack…
An organization is a terrible thing to waste. Especially if you’re in the business of winning Florida elections and the organization is one that in six short months canvassed statewide, located more than 700,000 legally registered voters and got them to sign a petition to amend the state constitution. Think…
The big game is almost here, and so are all those annoying people you invited to your party out of cordiality. If you’re smart, you’ve procrastinated sending out those invitations as long as possible. And your procrastination has paid off, because I’m going to help you weed all the duds…
Everyone knows The Plastics wear pink on Wednesdays and, in another uncanny similarity to Mean Girls, everyone knows congresswomen wear red on State of the Union Tuesday. Apparently there’s even a memo about it because Palm Beach Post Editorial Page Editor Rick Christie was quick to tweet to the SOTU-hashtagging…
With Willie Nelson, and Heart, and the Barenaked Ladies, and the Beach Boys, and Pat Benatar, and Trisha Yearwood, and Cheap Trick, and .38 Special, and Martina McBride and REO Speedwagon canceling their gigs at SeaWorld’s Bands, Brew & BBQ this year, the water park has now turned their hopes…
Rick Scott continues to be unliked by many amounts of people, despite the fact that he’s changed his mind about things like Medicaid expansion and despite declaring his love for Florida panthers, and his efforts to put money in people’s pockets with the magical elixir known as “tax-cuts.” And while…
A vicious fight at a Florida high school that was captured by a cellphone shows a helpless teacher caught in the violence after trying for several minutes trying to keep the students from going at each other. The over-four minutes video, shot at Gibbs High School in Pinellas County on…
So, the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito thing is never going to die, apparently. A day after NBCSN aired their interview with Martin, Incognito went to Fox News (nice choice, Richie!) and delivered his own haymaker via big-time PR firm Sitrick & Co. Incognito revealed text messages between the two players to…
Legally speaking, you’re able to poke a camera at a cop. You (should) know this by now, and for sure cops (really should) know it by now. Carlos Miller, the blogger behind Photography Is Not a Crime, and his crew of activist shutterbugs are on a mission to hammer that…
“I’m on a boat!” The last time you yelled that out was probably in your dreams. It’s true that booking a yacht for a charter cruise can take some serious cash — or bitcoin, the virtual currency that’s making waves in finance. The Advantaged Yacht Charters and Sales in Miami…
On Tuesday, I wondered aloud who was ready to make some money if medical marijuana becomes legal in Florida after November’s vote. There was only one corporation with “marijuana” in its name listed in the state so far. Since, then I heard from a few others who said they’re waiting…
I. Meet America’s business cheerleaders. People tend to view chambers of commerce in the same colors as the Rotary Club or the Knights of Columbus: eager do-gooders lending a helpful hand in the name of economy and country. It’s a largely accurate assessment — at least on the local level…
Wally Clark swears it was a million-dollar idea. The bespectacled man with big ears, a bald head, and a trim figure scrolls through the 10,000 pornographic snapshots he took of his wife cavorting with his best friend. Sure, Clark had nudged the two of them together — but it was…
In mid-January, I was having a cappuccino at Brew Urban Café in Fort Lauderdale’s Victoria Park when an acquaintance I knew only as Brian said hello. His tattooed friend plopped down at the table across from us. The friend opened his laptop and lit a cigarette. I noticed the two…
Two things are immediately apparent upon meeting Rasue and Rasheeb Pinnock. First, they bear an uncanny resemblance to Stephen Marley, the son of musical legend Bob Marley and a five-time Grammy winner in his own right. Second: They look absolutely, unbelievably stoned. The 22-year-old, glassy-eyed twins, who go by the…
A female JetBlue flight attendant was arrested for smuggling chocolate candy-shaped heroin into Florida from South America. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration were tipped off that the flight attendant had been smuggling smack on board flights, and were able to nab her when she tried bringing in more from Colombia…
Anthony “Big Tony” Moscatiello, who, along with Anthony “Little Tony” Ferrari, had been accused of having Miami Subs founder Konstantinos “Gus” Boulis rubbed out in a Mob-style hit, has been given a new trial date after his original trial was granted a mistrial. Big Tony’s defense lawyer had comedown with…
On Monday, in a sort of unofficial re-election kick-off, Gov. Rick Scott unveiled his budget plans for the year, only to be drowned out by the news that medical marijuana would be allowed on the ballot in November. Scott proposed a $74.19 billion budget proposal, which includes things like tax-breaks…
Joseph Serian was used to the duck-face pout of the young twenty-something girls on Match.com. They were half his age. When he messaged them — and he rarely did — they never replied. After all, he was a 65-year-old optometrist who moved to West Palm Beach in the mid-80s after…
Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin sat down with former Colts head coach Tony Dungy to give his first interview since the alleged bullying scandal that shook the Fins’ season. In the interview, which is set to air Wednesday night on NBCSN, Martin tells Dungy that he felt trapped during…
America, it seems, has had enough of Justin Bieber. And it would appear that his arrest for drunkenly racing through the streets of Miami Beach last week has inspired an official White House petition through Barack Obama’s “Wee The People” project to have Biebz deported back to Canada. The petition…
