It’s Throwback Thursday!

The orthodontics office of Richard Mariani, DDS MS, at 7741 SW 62nd Avenue in South Miami is bar none, a ‘masterpiece’.

Oh Dear, It’s Election Time in South Miami Again!

Our ever-colorful, passionate, and ‘fit’ Commissioner Bob Welsh (aka Bicycle Bob) was peddling around my South Miami neighborhood (behind Dante Fascell Park) on Saturday delivering a plug for re-election of Commissioner Walter Harris, an unofficial dog park survey, and more minutia about ex-Police Chief Orlando Martinez (ousted in August, 2013).

The Return of McMansions

The NYTimes had an interesting article last week called “The Return of McMansions”. It reminded me of the “McMansion Wars” that occurred in South Miami in boom time. Back in those good ole days The City of South Miami government folks, famous for not wanting change of any kind, put […]
