With its cobblestone streets and quaint shops framed by moss-laden oaks, Savannah, Georgia, is among America's most charming cities. Though picturesque, it's a place with a complicated history: Before the Civil War, white families owned slaves there.

The shots rang out before either cop could reach for his holster. The only thing the two Broward Sheriff's deputies could do was call for help. "We're shot!" came a voice over police radio. Then it was quiet. When the bullets stopped flying that November night, Dep. Corey Carbocci lay...

Almost daily I encounter musicians who want a gig. Most are incredibly nice, but they still make some crucial mistakes. Because most of you musicians have the attention span of a cat, I am going to tell you what not to do.
Some of Miami's business and political elite have argued that because it might be impossible to stop the effects of climate change, we should let the city flood, capitalize on it, and perhaps become a 21st-century Venice. Vanity Fair has reported that some Miami high-rises are now being built with "washout floors" designed to take consistent flooding.

This spring will mark a very important anniversary for art historians, especially those interested in Marcel Duchamp. Around this time 100 years ago, the French artist, widely regarded as one of the founders of conceptual art, infamously took a prefabricated porcelain urinal, signed it "R. Mutt 1917," and submitted it for exhibition to the Society of Independent Artists. The title he chose for the work was Fountain.
The arrest last week of eight people for racketeering is part of a conspiracy to get back at jail escapee Dayonte Resiles for the embarrassment he caused the Broward Sheriff's Office, the inmate said from jail. Resiles stunned attorneys and judges in the Fort Lauderdale courthouse when he fled out a...
Food truck owner Horatio Garrell scrimped and saved for six years to get together enough money to open a brick-and-mortar spot to serve his smoky jerk chicken and pork. When his eatery King Jerk finally opened at 14821 W. Dixie Hwy., the centerpiece was a $5,000 hybrid grill/smoker that was hardly used before thieves snatched it out of the parking lot surrounding Garrell's new bright-red restaurant.
Late last month, Enriqueta's Sandwich Shop owner José Plá quietly pushed the closing time of his humble NE Second Avenue operation from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Though this change might not mean much to the place's huge breakfast and lunch crowd, it's some of the most interesting news to come to Edgewater since its denizens learned just how much of the area was controlled by one Russian billionaire. It also means the ballooning populations in midtown and Edgewater can now grab an early dinner at Enriqueta's.
Thursday If retailers get to start their Black Friday sales early, you should be allowed to start your post-Thanksgiving blackout early, right? Fend off the urge to nap after dinner and head to the holiday edition of Wynwood Nights: All Black Thanksgiving to dance to hip-hop, soca, and dancehall while...
On the surface, it seems like a clever move: getting rich developers to cover the costs of public art. But scratch the veneer, opponents say, and a new phase of the City of Miami's Art in Public Places plan is at best a mess of unnecessary red tape — and...

So, uh, bodies might be buried in the backyard of a historic pump house on Miami's Upper Eastside. The building, which was built in the 1920s, at one time was the home of serial killer Robert Bowman, and a New Times feature story published this week details that when cops were questioning Bowman in 1982 over the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl from Ohio, Bowman said he had killed someone else and buried the body behind the pump house.
In the run-up to this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Bong Joon-ho’s Okja was one of the most mysterious titles in the Official Competition lineup. Then, after people had seen it, Okja turned out to be … one of the most mysterious titles in the Official Competition lineup. Now that it's...
"Miamians are savages." I'll never forget those words, uttered to me by a Hialeah Metrorail station janitor. How a city handles public transit says a lot about its culture. I’m referring to not only the agency that runs transit — surely, that can’t be easy — but also the riders themselves.
