As much as I complain about Bank of America month after month, I still manage to give them my business. Why? Initially it was convenience as I used to be able to do my grocery shopping and my banking in the same trip, but that stopped years ago when Publix closed the B of A in my local store, but I’m still there.
I recently learned of a new perk that Bank of America added to their accounts (checking, debit or credit cards) called the Museums on Us program. This program allows card holders to receive free admission to nearly 70 museums nationwide …read more

Being closely involved in education and an advocate of the arts, it often made me sad when I heard about the arts programs being eliminated from many schools. As more budgets get cut, these programs are disappearing all over. So when I heard about a new condo development in Miami pairing up with the Miami Art Museum (MAM), it got me excited. Marquis, an exclusive development in Miami operated by RockResorts, is located in the Park West District. It combines both residences and a boutique hotel into an art-themed living area. It is 67 stories tall and is the 2nd tallest building in …read more

You have  Shorts 4 Kids, Signature Shorts and now, you have the more provocative and risque take on late night comedy – Undershorts. Being presented at the Adrienne Arsht Center (formerly the Carnival Center), these short plays will knock your socks off. They are centered around themes such as sexual appetites, the birds and the bees, education, mother/daughter relationships and weapons, and they take the material to the limit. These plays are not for everyone though, as children under 17 will not be admitted, and I’d recommend that if you get easily offended, you should stay home as well. Playing …read more

We are overwhelmed by media. Day in and day out TV Commercials, Internet ads, radio and magazines cross our paths. How do we know what to believe as being factual and the true opinions of the editors and how do we know which is simply paid advertising? It’s hard to distinguish between. That’s why I get excited when I see The Reader’s Choice Awards come out and today WPBF 25 came out with their 2008 A-List – a list of the best local establishments and the winners were selected by the readers.

Here is a round up of the winners:
Gaming – …read more
