Earlier this season, Facebook data already confirmed the obvious: The Miami Hurricanes are the most popular college football team in South Florida. Duh.

Sears, the department store that time, fashion trends, and shoppers forgot, is struggling nationwide. Decades of dwindling sales have put the once-great chain’s future in question, but the company has proposed a radical strategy for its location at Aventura Mall that may signal the future of the company. Sears execs…
It seems like anytime we elect a new mayor in Miami we’re also kickstarting the political career of at least one of their children as well. Raquel Regalado, a School Board member and daughter of current Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado, announced this morning that she’s very possibly eying a run…
Marco Rubio hasn’t even completed a full term in the Senate, but he’s taking the presidential buzz that surrounds him (or used to, anyway) seriously. He says he’ll decide whether or not to make a bid for the White House in the coming weeks…

Wonderland strip club, which occupies 7778 Biscayne Blvd., a space that has housed just about every type of adult business under the sun, was raided early this morning after a months-long investigation. Thirteen people were arrested after police say they discovered prostitution, drugs, and the selling of alcohol after-hours at…

Want to know why polling indicated Charlie Crist was about to pull off a narrow victory only to end up being defeated by Rick Scott? Well, yes, low turnout in South Florida had something to do with it, but the fact that Scott ended up pouring $13 million into his…
Sometimes you don’t get high on your first try. Amendment 2 may have narrowly missed the 60 percent voter threshold needed to pass a constitutional amendment, but main sponsor John Morgan has already announced he’ll place another medical marijuana amendment on the ballot in 2016. This time, there’s an even…
The Miami Dolphins enduring popularity in England remains one of life’s great mysteries. Maybe Dan Marino is one of the few NFL players they can name. Maybe they really like our colors. Maybe Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a huge cult favorite over there. Whatever the case, the Dolphins win…

For four years, Florida Democrats giggled with glee at every Rick Scott failure. They practically drooled with expectation as Scott’s approval ratings sunk further than a boat in the Bermuda Triangle. They thought there was no way they could lose to this guy again, but last night they did, and…
Last night’s election results didn’t look a lot different from 2010’s election. Rick Scott snuck out a small but definite win over his Democratic opponent, but if you look at the exit poll data you will notice some shifting allegiances in Florida’s electorate even if it didn’t make much of…

Rick Scott and Charlie Crist, AKA Lord Voldemort and the sleaziest used-car salesman you ever met, may not be the most inspiring candidates ever, but that’s not an excuse not to vote today. Of course, Facebook and Twitter and all of that are full of people proudly proclaiming they’ve voted,…
