And annually, about 250,000 minors are tried, sentenced, or incarcerated as adults. Beyond the figures are the individuals and their families impacted by juvenile incarceration,...
Last week, the French New Wave and modern-day Miami came together in a delightful way in the new Arcade Fire music video for the band's latest single, "Signs of Life."

At one point last season, the Miami Heat held the projected second-overall pick in this year's NBA draft. That's what an 11-30 record gets you: lots of Ping-Pong balls and, if you're lucky, a franchise-player building block to un-suck yourself right quick. What a miraculous 30-11 second half of the season gets you is a lot of good feelings, pats on the asses, and the 14th overall selection in the draft.
A red door is, biblically speaking, a sign of protection, an echo of the blood rubbed on posts and lintels during Passover to keep God from smiting you and your home. But like most things that the Bible insists are positive, the red door also comes with an undercurrent of...
In his school days at Florida International University, Roger del Pino fancied himself a video artist. So it was only a matter of time before his electro-musical alter ego, Monterrey, released a video for one of his songs. The result, the video for the track "Neon," is a kaleidoscopic trip with the color palette of a lost episode of Miami Vice in which Don Johnson ingests some weird drugs.
Santiago Perez grabs for the carabiner, but it slips from his frostbitten fingers. His glove liners are worn away, so ice crystals form on his skin. Fearing he might lose digits, he tries to flex his hand inside the cavity of an unwieldy mitten, but it merely twitches. Nothing can...

Valentine's Day is here, and if you're planning a dinner alone tonight, don't fret. It's not you — it's Miami! Despite our city's swaying palm trees and balmy evenings tinged with a hint of seaspray, Miami apparently sucks in the romance department — at least according to Instacart.
