In 2012, we were learning “Gangnam style” and fuming over Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women.” In the midst of that madness — on public buses, restaurant menus, beach advertising banners, and blasting out of cruising Ferraris — Miami had poems. And for the last seven Aprils, O, Miami Poetry…

At 8:30 a.m. every morning, a group of teenagers emerges from the Homestead Detention Center buildings for their first breath of fresh air since early evening the day before. Girls come out first in a single-file line, supervised by guards, followed by boys a bit later. From then until…

The Village of Pinecrest is shaking things up this year when it comes to the Easter holiday. Typically, the posh municipality hosts an Easter egg hunt at Pinecrest Gardens Cultural Arts Park – but that’s been done to death. You know what hasn’t been done at all in Miami? Twenty-five-foot…

FemAle Brew Fest, music by Muse and Thelma and the Sleaze, and more of the best things to do in Miami this weekend, March 22 through 24.

Thursday After wowing audiences in the United Kingdom, the creepy play The Children is making a splash in the States. The Lucy Kirkwood production, which was nominated for the 2018 “Best Play” Tony, follows a couple of retirees living a quiet life. Quiet, that is, until an old friend shows…
