📰 News we're reading
1. Pedestrian hospitalized after hit-and-run near Miami Gardens, police say (wsvn.com) — A man was hospitalized after a hit-and-run Sunday night along Northwest 47th Avenue near the Miami Gardens–Northwest Miami-Dade border, and police are still searching for the driver. The crash scene stretched several blocks, and investigators are asking anyone in Miami Gardens with information or video to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers anonymously, with a possible reward up to $5,000. 
2. Raw sewage in kitchen, live roaches found and P.F. Chang's makes the Dirty Dining list (local10.com) — State inspectors temporarily shut down The Villa Caribbean Shoppes in Miami Gardens after finding live roaches, numerous flies, and more than 100 dead flies in a bug zapper over kitchen equipment. The report also lists other South Florida restaurants with serious violations, all of which later reopened after cleanup and re-inspection.
3. 16 Arrested at Hard Rock Stadium During Portugal Colombia Match (iheart.com) — World Cup fans at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens saw a heavy security presence that led to 16 arrests and 17 ejections, mostly tied to fake tickets and credentials. Deputies say the tougher measures, added after past crowd issues, kept the Portugal–Colombia match running smoothly without major safety problems for attendees.
4. Miami's forgotten ancient past is hiding beneath a Joe & the Juice. Yes, really (miamiherald.com) — Few fans visiting Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for major games realize they’re parking beside Honey Hill, a significant but unmarked Tequesta settlement and burial site. A sweeping look at archaeological discoveries across Miami-Dade shows how modern development has repeatedly buried, neglected, or partially preserved ancient Indigenous sites, raising urgent questions about how much of this history can still be saved.
