Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. This FL City Named Top Foodie Destination In The U.S. (patch.com) — Miami residents can take pride in the city being named the top foodie destination in the United States, thanks to WalletHub's new ranking. The study highlights Miami's abundance of well-rated, affordable restaurants, a high number of eateries per capita, and an impressive 12 Michelin-starred spots, placing it ahead of Portland and San Francisco.
2. Learning Resources Mainstay Retires After 37 Years At Miami Dade College (mdcthereporter.com) — A beloved Miami Dade College North Campus learning resources staffer, Devi Singh, has retired after 37 years serving Miami students and colleagues. Friends and family honored her long career, resilience through cancer treatment, and deep kindness at a campus luncheon, while she looks ahead to a slower life of baking, gardening, reading, and time with her large local family.
3. King tides leave Miami Beach condo residents without power, elevators and hot water for days (cbsnews.com) — Miami Beach condo residents are facing days-long power, elevator, and hot water outages after king tides flooded underground systems and garages, blocking repairs. Buildings along West Avenue, including Sunshine Bay Condos and Lincoln Bay Towers, report recurring flooding, while the city asks contractors to find fixes and Florida Power & Light awaits safe access to damaged equipment.
4. Florida's new $2,000 crash-reporting threshold leaves drivers asking how to judge the damage (cbsnews.com) — Florida drivers, including those around Miami, now face a higher $2,000 damage threshold before they're required to call police after a crash, up from $500. Local attorneys warn this could confuse motorists at the scene, especially when hidden damage or delayed injuries emerge later, and many South Florida drivers say they'll still call law enforcement to be safe.
