Back on the Weekend
6 03 2009It’s been a really long time since the last post and just like riding a bike, one never forgets. Still, expect it to take a post or two to really jump back into the swing of things.
A good place to start is the weekend. There is plenty to do this weekend and the beautiful weather lends itself to the two ends of the spectrum of doing everything and doing nothing but basquing in the sunshine.
Here are some events for the weekend:
- Happy Hour at Mamajuana across from Merrick Park – free appetizers
- Carnival on the Mile
- Life is Art show complimentary drinks at this all day Saturday event
- Zombie Party all you can eat Hawaiian spread for $15
- Miami International Film Festival
- Official after-party for Berlin Calling at Sagamore Hotel ( a film premiering at Film Fest)

Classic Miami History Quiz
30 07 2008Miami is my hometown, but this isn’t the city I grew up in… Miami changes all the time and natives love her through the booms and busts.
I found a very interesting webpage with Classic Miami Trivia. This quiz is a perfect example of how Miami is constantly changing.
Here is a sample of the easy ones:
- 1. What was called “The road to nowhere” in the 1970s?
- 5. Name the famous comedian that helped Miami by doing a live network TV program from here.
- 6. Name the BBQ landmark that burned to the ground in 1972 and was rebuilt.
- 13. Where was the original location for Tamiami Airport?
- 17. Which establishment in the City of Miami has liquor license #1 and was issued before prohibition?
- 28. Where did the big rotating globe in the lobby of the Miami Museum of Science come from?
And for the answers to these questions and to view more answers click here.
