Cherry on top is that they are Argentinian New Yorkers

Oye, so toll roads on the palmetto is in full operation in case ya'll haven't seen. It was free Southbound and Northbound for almost 3 years I think.

The Scam: Northbound. That little section that one would take to avoid the 49st exit traffic jam, where you can enter the toll about 1/4 before 49st. Signs read "$0.50 to 122nd St." Yeah that little piece of 1/4 mile toll road is 50 cents! Que mierda.

That pissed me off, just saw the charge on my dashboard. Warning ya'll in case ya'll thought it was free because it was super short. Nope.

On August 18, 2026, city of Miami voters will decide whether to approve a 40-year agreement with Global Spectrum to activate and manage events while helping fund the venue’s restoration.

I very much hope this structure can be saved as many famous people have performed or visited the site such as Elvis Presley, Jimmy Buffett, The Beach Boys, Ray Charles, Queen, The Who, Lunyrd Skynyrd, Aretha Franklin, President Richard Nixon, and was used for many boating competitions and Catholic masses for Cuban immigrants.

The city of Miami completed stabilization work to secure the pylons supporting the over-water structure, finalizing the repair of nine piles and two concrete caps in January, 2024. The pylon work utilized reinforced pile jackets with cathodic protection to stop rusting from saltwater exposure. This was considered Phase I of the overall structural rescue. I would love to see the stadium fully restored and while the restoration has been an huge issue for the last 30 years, the structure actually remains very secure and intact from this work the city of Miami did to save the structure. You might as well restore it if you already started repairing it.

Hilario Candela, a Cuban immigrant, designed the structure when he was 28 years old in 1963. He died in 2022 after years of trying to advocate to save the structure and his efforts did see some results over the years.

I think this venue has a real good chance of being saved if the vote on August 18, 2026 is yes. It’s not as difficult to save as other abandoned stadiums such as the Houston Astrodome and there has already been work to save it. I hope people ultimately vote yes to save this. It’s a really unique venue that has survived hurricane after hurricane. I think saving this abandoned structure is ultimately worth the money.

Edit: Apparently, Jimmy Buffett and his daughter were also huge supporters to see the venue saved from abandonment: https://youtu.be/fq7j-_fhgKA?is=e3wqa2QuTcuC8n5B

I'm thinking of moving and need to know where to avoid at all costs. Tell me the things you only learned about after you moved in!!

Passed my earlier today and saw the lease sign behind the glass and the menu was taken down.

they had their patties at almost 6 dollars each before closing which probably explains a lot.

It’s a freeing experience

Hey all, I just moved down here from central FL. I’m looking for weekly or seasonal pop-up or farmer’s markets in MIA. Can you share any that you really like? Thanks 🫶🏽

Saw this coyote walking around S. River Dr and 72nd ave area in Hialeah. Just a heads up for anyone walking pets or out early. Has anyone else been seeing coyotes around Hialeah lately?

My family bought a few years ago a very nice and very expensive chandelier. They don't want it. What can we do with it?

It was like 2008 and they’d always play this banger on the radio

I just need to vent because I’m honestly struggling to make sense of this.

Someone I know worked for an ABA agency that was shut down during the recent Medicaid fraud investigations. Now they’re at a new agency, and they’re openly saying they’re going to keep billing from home without actually providing therapy. They even say the parent and the biller know.

As a healthcare provider myself, it’s incredibly frustrating. There are so many clinicians trying to do the right thing, document accurately, and follow the rules, while others seem completely comfortable taking these kinds of risks. It makes me wonder how common this actually is.

Has anyone else in healthcare or ABA seen situations like this after agencies closed? Are people really returning to the same practices at new clinics, or is this the exception rather than the rule?

seriously driving down US-1 today and it just feels like the entire city is one giant concrete pour

I was trying to figure out how these developers keep getting approval for massive towers right next to normal houses and ended up down a rabbit hole. Came across this breakdown by larry mastropieri about the live local act and how developers are basically using it to completely bypass miami's local zoning laws. it makes so much sense now but it's honestly so depressing.

like I get that we need affordable housing but let's be real, none of these luxury high-rises are actually affordable for normal people who actually live and work here. They just build a few "workforce" units and then block out the sun for the rest of us

I feel like im losing my mind living here sometimes. anyway just needed to vent after sitting in traffic for an hour to go 3 miles

this clip perfectly captures how local neighborhoods are desperately trying to fight back against these massive out-of-scale projects

Medium Cool has announced the closure of its Miami Beach venue, the team shared on Instagram, July 19th. They also confirmed that they're looking for a new location.

"After nearly four wonderful years," the statement read, "we are on the hunt for a new home."

Hey guys! I’m running a campaign where I pay for someone’s groceries for any meal of their choosing in the Miami area, preferably closer to coral gables. Bit more complicated than that but dm me for details I promise I’m serious. Mods don’t prevent me from doing a good thing

Years ago, r/Miami had a long-running inside joke where people would reply “Flanigan’s” to common tourist and transplant questions. It was a recognizable meme within the community, especially among longtime locals.

Eventually, the moderation team began removing those comments and banning users who continued posting them, as they wanted to reduce repetitive or low-effort replies. My original account was one of the accounts that was banned during that period after I replied “Flanigan’s” to a post.

I’m curious whether the community’s perspective has changed over the years and whether those older bans have ever been reconsidered. I’d like to participate again from my original account if possible.

Looking to join a run club or fitness club and connect with like minded people. Which ones are the best to join? I know about the Brickell Run Club but that’s about it. Late 20s female if that matters.

Can anyone recommend a person or company who can paint the exterior of my house? Not really looking for a handyman - looking for someone who’s main focus is painting

I also have some areas of the stucco that need to be smoothed out where the previous owner of my house patched himself and it just looks pretty bad. Willing to hire a separate company for this if anyone can recommend too?

Thanks!

Would be sixth Miamian to face denaturalization this year, others including the former Haitian-born mayor of North Miami (document fraud) and Cuban-born former US Ambassador to Bolivia (Cuban agent)

Last time I posted about getting a ticket because the school zone lights didn’t work I got crucified in the comments because I’m a “distracted driver” and I don’t pay attention. This time I’m not sure if I’ll get a ticket for going 30 under the main light but once I saw the end school zone lights up ahead I made sure to slow down which is what many drivers also did. It’s summer so I don’t believe I should get a ticket but I made sure to document this to show that this really does happen. I made sure to take videos going in each direction of traffic. These lights are outside of Bridgeprep Academy Village Green on 13300 SW 120th St. I’ll post the other videos below. Also forgot to mention that the school zone starts in an hour but again I’m posting on here just in case they decide to give me a ticket
