Around the web in 30 seconds
by Lackner, 01/09/2008
Some miscellaneous items of interest from around the Web..
- The indefatigable Critical Miami brings us news of a major cockfighting bust. Thank God the Miami Dade PD has their priorities straight! Dead birds are the woooorst. Be sure to read the comments where a totally needless argument about animal cruelty erupts and spontaneously devolves into backbiting and personal attacks. It's very web 2.0.
- Miami Condo Investments Blog has some good posts about the slow rate of closings at major new properties, most recently One Bal Harbour. It's hard to draw too many conclusions from solely analyzing closing rates, but the low numbers (~30% in two months) are telling. I believe it's still too early to draw the curtain on this project though. As an aside, is this the most carefully named blog on earth? The SEO benefit to all that great content is huge. Plus this incoming link. You're welcome.
- The old dolphin at the Seaquarium has died. It was 40, which is far too old for a dolphin anyway. I wonder if they'll just leave the corpse rotting there to contribute to the rest of the vague, unappealing smells that permeate that place?
- Transit Miami brings us word of yet another plan to relieve 836 traffic. Life for the commuter is hopeless; if you're going 836 East a lot, I have a condo to sell you at your destination. Also, the fact that a blog exists that discusses solely Miami Transit makes me feel better about the monotonous entertainment industry garbage we serve up on MN.
- The new and ever-hardcore Stylus Funk brings us a review of Anja Schneider's performance at that shady but delicious illegal warehouse party that occurs a block from Parc Lofts. I hate myself for not attending. Photo gallery included.
