Miami Beach, known for its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and diverse culture, holds more than just its glamorous appeal. Beneath the surface of the city’s sun-soaked streets lies a tale rooted in ancient Jewish folklore. According to local lore, a Golem—a creature created from clay and brought to life

The W South Beach at 2201 Collins Avenue will close on August 20 for a full-property conversion into Waldorf Astoria Miami Beach, marking the luxury brand’s first hotel in the city and eliminating 337 jobs in the process.

By Antonella Sinclair CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – June 20, 2026 – While Miami has long been recognized as one of the world’s premier destinations for swimwear fashion, Brazilian Fashion Week USA – SWIM & Resort Boston demonstrated that resort fashion can thrive in multiple cities, fostering collaboration throughout the fashion industry rather than competition. Founded in 2012 at Boston’s historic Taj Boston Hotel on the city’s famed Newbury Street, Brazilian Fashion Week USA has grown into an international platform celebrating Brazilian fashion, culture, and design while connecting designers, businesses, and creative professionals throughout the Americas. Photo Courtesy: Hill Zhou Photographer Produced by acclaimed designer Conrad Lamour, the June 20 showcase transformed Monteverdi, located at 40 Edwin H. Land Blvd., Cambridge, MA 02142, into a celebration of international fashion, culture, and sophistication. Lamour also presented the evening’s featured collection, bringing together emerging and established designers, industry leaders, influencers, members of the media,
By Frank Baraldini Something about the phrase Western Canon has always functioned as a mild deterrent. It sounds like a commitment you need to have been building since childhood, like a club that stopped accepting new members sometime around your junior year of high school, when everyone else was apparently reading Dante, and you were doing something else entirely. Richard Fallquist felt that deterrent too, and rather than accepting it as a permanent condition, he decided to do something about it in the characteristically methodical way possible: he built a list. And then another list. And then a framework for thinking about all of those lists together that turned into a guide that turns into this book, which is effectively welcoming cultural resources currently available to the adult reader who wants to begin or deepen their engagement with the works that have shaped the civilization they live in.

SLIMFLO continues his impressive rise in the melodic house and techno scene with the release of his latest single, “Origin,” a powerful collaboration with Jobbo. Following the success of recent releases including “Pinnacle” and “ACALI,” the Swiss-born, Panama-based producer returns with a fresh sound that shows another side of his growing artistry. A New Direction for the Melodic House Producer While “Pinnacle” was inspired by wide open landscapes and the layering of different sounds, “Origin” takes listeners on a different journey. SLIMFLO’s signature melodic style remains at the heart of the record. This time, Jobbo’s vocals add even more emotion and personality. They blend naturally with the production, adding depth without pulling attention away from the energy. The outcome is a captivating dance track that feels both uplifting and immersive, easy to get completely lost in. Built for the dance floor, the song feels immersive from start to finish. “Origin”
By: Alex Cooper Sometimes the path to better health isn’t about discovering something new. It’s about rediscovering what worked all along. That philosophy sits at the heart of Know the Enemy, the latest book from author and speaker Jodi Velazquez. Drawing from decades of personal experience and observations about changing eating habits, Velazquez introduces readers to what she calls Vintage Nutrition™, an approach that encourages people to revisit many of the everyday food and lifestyle practices that were common in previous generations. For Velazquez, the inspiration behind the book was deeply personal. When her daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 19 months old, life changed overnight. Every meal, snack, and activity suddenly required careful planning, and food became much more than a routine part of the day. “When my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at just 19 months old, our lives changed overnight,” Velazquez says.

A Heat Dome Building Over South Florida Is Expected to Drive Heat Index Values Past 110 Degrees During the Most Event-Dense Week of the Summer A dangerous heat dome building over the eastern United States is expected to push heat index values in the Miami metropolitan area past 105 to 110 degrees through the July Fourth weekend, arriving during a stretch of outdoor programming that has hundreds of thousands of people in open-air venues, on waterfront promenades, and in stadium seats across Miami-Dade County every day. The National Weather Service’s Miami office warned Sunday of “dangerous to record-setting heat” expanding across the region, with humidity levels between 70% and 85% compounding air temperatures in the mid-to-upper 90s into conditions that the NWS classifies as posing a “high” to “extreme” risk for heat-related illness. The timing places the heat wave directly over the convergence of three major events operating simultaneously in
By: Alexa Avenson There is a particular exhaustion that comes from living inside a healthcare system that is very good at treating crises and not very interested in helping you build a life where crises become less likely. Dr. Sherry McAllister knows that exhaustion well; she has watched it accumulate in her patients and in the broader cultural conversation about health for more than two decades, and Adjusted Reality is her thoughtful, warm, and practically grounded response to it. What she is offering is not a set of instructions for optimizing your body. It is something considerably more useful: a new way of understanding what your body, your mind, and your life are actually asking of you. The experience of reading this book is unlike most wellness writing in a way that takes a few chapters to fully appreciate. There is no urgency here, no implied alarm about what will
South Florida is now midway through the largest sporting event it has ever hosted, and the central question for the region’s economy is no longer whether the World Cup will generate spending — it is how much of that spending will actually stay in Miami-Dade County. A FIFA-commissioned study estimated that Miami’s seven matches at Hard Rock Stadium could produce between $920 million and $1.3 billion in total economic output. Oxford Economics, using its Tourism Economics Event Impact Calculator, projects a more conservative $650 million in direct economic activity from the seven matches alone, driven primarily by hotel stays, restaurant spending, and retail purchases. The gap between those two numbers tells a story about how economic impact projections work — and why sports economists have spent decades arguing that the headline figures rarely materialize in the way organizers promise. Where the Money Flows The economic structure of a FIFA World
Rainbow Castle is a children’s fantasy book written by Sue Johnson, created from a lifelong love of storytelling, imagination, and a deep personal connection to sea glass. It is a story shaped over time rather than rushed into existence, carrying ideas that feel simple on the surface but meaningful when you sit with them. At its core, Rainbow Castle is about how imagination turns ordinary things into something larger. It is a fantasy world built for children, but it also carries a quiet reminder for adults. The way we see things shapes what they become in our minds. The inspiration behind Rainbow Castle comes from sea glass. Sea glass is at the center of the book’s emotional world. It is something once broken, discarded, or forgotten, slowly transformed by time and water into something smooth and beautiful again. That idea becomes more than a detail in the story. It becomes
By: Jim Fulton In an era when many artists feel compelled to reveal everything at once, true vulnerability remains surprisingly rare. The most affecting songs are often not the loudest confessions but the quietest reflections, the ones that trust listeners to lean in rather than demanding their attention. With “A Whisper on the Wind,” singer-songwriter CattSue delivers exactly that kind of song: a deeply personal meditation on loss, memory, and the enduring nature of love. Based in the Jacksonville, Florida area, CattSue has emerged as a thoughtful new voice whose work blends elements of country, pop, and contemporary singer-songwriter traditions. Her music is marked by emotional honesty and an understated elegance that places storytelling above spectacle. Rather than relying on grand gestures or fashionable production techniques, she writes songs rooted in lived experience, allowing their emotional truths to speak for themselves. That approach first resonated with listeners through her debut
By Alex Cooper Science fiction has long served as a lens through which writers examine the challenges and contradictions of the present. In After The Fall Was Over, the first installment of The Silence and the Gods Trilogy, veteran author W. Clark Boutwell uses a distant future shaped by societal collapse, technological dependence, and political upheaval to explore questions that remain deeply relevant today. This is the author’s second trilogy, following Old Men and Infidels. While the series picks up where the previous trilogy left off, it offers readers a distinctly different perspective on the world and its conflicts. Set generations after the fall of a once-powerful republic, the novel introduces readers to a fractured world where successor states continue to struggle for dominance. At the center of the story are competing civilizations with radically different values and visions of the future. The technologically advanced Unity seeks control through innovation
Scotland’s traveling support — the self-styled Tartan Army — has arrived in South Florida ahead of the team’s June 24 Group C match against Brazil at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, and the invasion is already drawing local headlines. WSVN reported Tuesday that Scottish fans are planning a march from Ball and Chain in Little Havana to loanDepot Park for a Miami Marlins game against the Texas Rangers, bringing kilts, flags, and a simple operating philosophy to the city: “No Scotland, no party.” The scene is not unfamiliar to Miami, a city that has absorbed international fan cultures since Lionel Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami in 2023 turned South Florida into an epicenter of global football attention. But the Tartan Army operates at a different register — less celebrity, more communal. Scotland is appearing in its first World Cup since 1998, and the fans who have crossed the Atlantic
By: Jim Fulton For many artists, the Book of Revelation represents a challenge too daunting to approach directly. Its imagery is vast, symbolic, and often frightening. It has inspired countless interpretations, debates, sermons, and artistic works over the centuries. Yet few contemporary singer-songwriters have attempted to build an entire album around its themes with the kind of restraint and sincerity that Eddy Mann brings to The Unveiling. Released on January 30, 2026, The Unveiling is a ten-song meditation on Revelation that favors reflection over spectacle. Rather than emphasizing catastrophe and judgment, Mann focuses on the spiritual journey that unfolds within the text, the perseverance of faith, the certainty of God’s promises, and the hope that exists beyond earthly struggle. The album’s strength lies in its simplicity. Mann has long been an artist who understands the value of a well-crafted song. Throughout a career marked by thoughtful Christian songwriting and an
Miami Swim Week once again brought together a vibrant mix of fashion, fitness, entertainment, and social media personalities as visitors from around the world descended on South Florida for one of the most anticipated events of the summer. Among those spotted enjoying the festivities were influencer Diana Marks and IFBB Pro Fit Model Guljahon Turdikulova, who spent an evening taking in the excitement and energy that have become synonymous with the annual celebration.

South Florida’s World Cup era opened Monday evening with a Group H contest that delivered the kind of late drama the tournament has already become known for, as Uruguay’s Maxi Araújo salvaged a point in the second half to deny Saudi Arabia another signature upset on the sport’s largest stage. A Debut Night Built on Drama and a Late Equalizer The first FIFA World Cup match in Miami history kicked off at 6 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens — temporarily renamed Miami Stadium under FIFA’s commercial naming policy — before a crowd of approximately 74,916. The venue, home to the Miami Dolphins and a regular host of Super Bowls and international friendlies, took on a different character entirely as Saudi and Uruguayan flags filled sections of the stadium and chants in Arabic and Spanish competed for volume across the lower bowl. Saudi Arabia took the lead in
Miami is a city built around the absence of winter. Its identity, its tourism, and its skyline all assume a climate of palms and warm water, which is what makes a single morning nearly half a century ago so hard to forget. On January 19, 1977, snow fell on Miami for the first and only time in the city’s recorded history, drifting past palm trees and landing on the sand of Miami Beach before the sun erased it within hours. It was not much snow. By the strictest measure it was barely snow at all. And yet the event has outlasted countless hurricanes and heat waves in the city’s collective memory, precisely because it was something Miami is not supposed to be capable of producing. A Morning The Sky Did Something Impossible The flurries arrived early. Across Broward and Miami-Dade counties, flakes fell between roughly 8:00 and 9:30 a.m., mixing
