Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Miami Beach approves multi million-dollar GTA VI marketing agreement (miaminewtimes.com) — Miami Beach commissioners narrowly approved a Grand Theft Auto VI marketing deal that could bring up to $4 million by putting game branding on beach umbrellas, chairs, and other city property. Supporters see a lucrative tourism tie-in, while opponents, including the mayor, argue the violent game clashes with efforts to curb Miami Beach's image of chaos and lawlessness.
2. Three Largest Trees of Their Kind in Florida Can be Found in Miami Beach (miamibeachfl.gov) — Miami Beach is now home to four of Florida's largest officially recognized trees, including champion specimens in Bayshore Park, Flamingo Park, a municipal lot, and the Miami Beach Golf Club. City leaders say protecting these massive shade trees is central to preserving the island's character, and residents can enjoy them across the city's parks and green spaces.
3. Pari Dukovic Explores Discipline and Form in "RISE" at VISU Contemporary (miamilivingmagazine.com) — Miami Beach art lovers can catch Pari Dukovic's "RISE" at VISU Contemporary from October 15 to November 21, featuring striking photographs of Miami City Ballet dancers that spotlight discipline, strength, and vulnerability. The show, curated by gallery owner Bruce Halpryn, runs Thursday through Saturday afternoons and invites you to look beyond performance glamour to the intense work behind each seemingly effortless gesture.
4. Woman accused of drugging man she met at Gulfstream Park to steal $98K Rolex, cops say (nbcmiami.com) — A woman accused of drugging a man at Gulfstream Park to steal his $98,000 Rolex is also under investigation in similar cases in Miami-Dade, including Miami Beach.
