If you're impatient, the idea that "good things come to those who wait" seems like the stuff of assholes or dummies. However, after living some life, I've found that though it's uncomfortable to feel left behind, waiting often yields gratifying results. This is true for first kisses, getting your first...
On February 25, 2014, Carlos Gracida raced down the field at the Everglades Polo Club atop a powerful thoroughbred pony. After decades of being among the best to play the game, having already won every major prize and tournament multiple times in his long career, the 53-year-old had nothing left...
"Apres moi le deluge," Madame de Pompadour supposedly said, shortly before the people of France rose up and removed her head: "After me, the flood."

South Florida looks a lot like a Renaissance painting today. The skyline and the cityscape bleed into each other with the most minuscule of brush strokes. But no, an imaginary Leonardo did not restyle South Florida to look like the Mona Lisa. What you're seeing is not sfumato; it's smoke...

We're no scientist. But you know who is? Scientists. And a group of them has written Gov. Rick Scott about his noncommittal stance on man-made climate change. Scott has been wishy-washy on the issue, and whenever he's been pressed about it, he has inexplicably decided to go the Marco Rubio...
Former American Idol contestant Sam Woolf is a lot different than other kids his age. Instead of attending college classes or working a part time job at Subway, the eighteen year old had the guts (and lungs) to try out for American Idol. He made it past the grueling auditions,...
We've already written about how, according to a recent study, the Florida Legislature's failure to expand Medicaid coverage to an estimated 1.27 million low-income Floridians will result in as many as six otherwise avoidable deaths a day in the Sunshine State. Now we've come across another study about the consequences...
It looks like Floridians would rather have all the scientists run for president than Marco Rubio, according to a Public Policy Polling survey released last week. After the White House released the findings from the National Climate Assessment last month that said climate change was man-made and that Florida was...
Officers from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department started following alongside the city's Critical Mass in May. To say the event didn't go well would be an understatement. Dan Littell, a 30-year-old accountant, was tackled by an officer in an altercation that was caught on video. Rahim "Ra" Benjamin, a 23-year-old...
Steve Esdale has zero options left. For more than a decade, the stocky Weston contractor has been trying to drum up interest in the mysterious death of his father; for more than a decade, people have been ignoring him. Now, Esdale is banking on one last move: asking the US...

Biking in South Florida is dangerous. Given what we see in the news cycle on an almost daily basis down here, that can be said flatly. Hell, last year cyclists riding down the Rickenbacker Causeway were shot in the leg and back by teenagers armed with BB-Guns. So, after a...
All Aboard Florida -- the passenger rail service promising train stops from Miami to West Palm Beach in 2016 -- announced design plans for its West Palm Beach station earlier today. This marks the final station unveiling, after Miami's and Fort Lauderdale's were released earlier this year. The Palm Beach...
Sometimes it's hard to explain to outsiders just how rich and deep culture truly runs in South Florida. Blame it on Miami Vice or the excesses of ruinous Fort Lauderdale Spring Break youth behavior. It's just not easy to break the stereotypes. At least we locals can take some comfort...
The Off the Hookah family of restaurants has always stood out a little bit among their peers for being quick and agreeable when it comes to fundraising and partnering with locals for good causes. This week, the Clematis location will be celebrating its fourth year of operation as well as...
Fort Lauderdale City Manager Lee Feldman released his 2015 proposed budget report and, according to what he writes, the city can add over 60 new positions without raising the tax rate. Among the proposed positions, Feldman says ten new Parks and Recreation jobs can be added to aid several initiatives...
While we're big fans of noshing on multiple dishes from several food trucks -- even if it results in a serious case of the meat sweats -- many a food truck roundup is just about stuffing your face; there's rarely a higher purpose. Tomorrow night, downtown West Palm Beach is...

Hughes' acid fracking operation in Collier County. See also: Dropping Acid in the Everglades: Fracking War Drags On in Collier...
There's a classic episode of Current TV's Vanguard that takes place in Florida. "Oxycontin Express" took reporter Mariana van Zeller to Broward, where she talked to pill addicts and the people who travel here from out of state to purchase drugs and traffic them elsewhere. It's so good! It won...
With Jack Nicholson still enjoying his retirement, it falls to Michael Douglas to swoon over the oh-so-cutesy Diane Keaton in And So It Goes, a timid, elder rom-com in the same wheelhouse as the 2003 Nicholson-Keaton team-up, Something's Gotta Give. A film of nothing but soft edges, director Rob Reiner's...
Last time we checked up on Palm Beach County students, things weren't looking too hot. The county's school system saw a dip in its overall grades, according to the Florida Department of Education's annual school grades. Two schools got D's and two schools received F grades in Palm Beach. But...
