Go inside a Miami mall that was once a haven for wealthy shoppers
When the Omni International Mall opened in 1977, it changed the way we lived. On breaks, downtown workers dashed in to make a quick purchase or have lunch at one of the restaurants or the food court. Teenagers from Little Havana, Overtown and Miami Beach descended on the mall after school and on weekends to see the latest movie at the multiplex, hang out in the record store or take a spin on the carousel. People who lived in Mid-Beach and South Beach now had a relatively close place to shop and eat with just a quick ride over one of the causeways. Wealthy Venezuelans bought lots of big-ticket items during a boom in the Latin American economy. Customers headed to the bakery to buy some cinnamon bread, browse through the bookstore, search for the latest sales. The Omni, lording over Biscayne Boulevard between 14th and 15th streets, was modern, weather-proof, convenient and fun. It was anchored on one side by J.C. Penney and the other by Jordan Marsh, which became Burdines in the mall’s later years. The mall opened in 1977 along with a hotel, also called the Omni International. Before the mall and hotel were built, the free-standing

There are many things that may set off the alarms of some people living in a specific city, yet one that really makes people turn their heads, raise their eyebrows, and even gasp is when someone says something that isn’t entirely true.

The Underline's bike and walk trail is complete. It's named after a billionaire
Nearly eight years after groundbreaking, The Underline is celebrating a new milestone: the completion of its 10-mile, bike-and-walk path, named after a buzzy billionaire whose moniker seems to be taking over Miami. The Kenneth C. Griffin Urban Trail is the latest installment of the 120-acre urban park, which runs under Metrorail tracks and has been under construction since 2018. The stretch, which runs from Brickell to Dadeland, combines pedestrian and cycling trails with micro-forests, jungle gyms, public art and wellness classes. Some of those amenities remain under construction, according to Underline officials, who say the park will reach its finished form in early 2027. For now, cyclists and runners can enjoy an uninterrupted trek along the corridor sans dust, bright orange traffic cones or safety barricades. It was “some crazy idea that took this underutilized, forgotten space and turned it into something that is truly iconic,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava at Thursday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for the trail in Coral Gables. She was joined by county parks and transportation leaders, officials from the cities of Miami and Coral Gables, South Florida philanthropists, nonprofit Friends of The Underline and dozens of the park’s team members. “I hope that it

UM coordinators and ex-referees explain lingering issues from Notre Dame game
A six-pack of Hurricanes notes on a Tuesday, heading into Saturday’s home game against Duke (noon, ABC): ▪ Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman on Monday offered explanations for two lingering questions from the 31-24 loss to Notre Dame: 1). Why did UM run Darian Mensah to the outside (as opposed to running Mark Fletcher Jr.) on a third-and-goal in the second quarter? and 2). Why couldn’t UM muster more pass rush? Mensah was stopped for no gain on a sneak on second down from the Notre Dame one, and then his third down run to the perimeter was snuffed out. Dawson ran that third-down play because he thought Notre Dame was vulnerable on the outside. “It was quarterback outside zone; nobody thinks I run outside zone,” Dawson said. “The way they play short-yardage runs is pretty impressive. “Notre Dame does a really good job of gapping out on short yardage, knifing through those gaps. … Their defense is really good [in the A and B gaps]. My thought process was we were struggling in the middle. So take Mensah and lead outside zone. You want to attack defenses where they are weak. Part of that structure,

The 24-hour philanthropic event, hosted by the Miami Foundation, is on Thursday, Nov. 19, from midnight to 11:59 p.m. But early online giving opens at midnight on Saturday, Nov. 14, and runs through Nov. 18 Give Miami Day began after a 2012 survey by the Knight Foundation revealed that the Miami metro area was the least civically engaged in the country. “Consider this an invitation to the most meaningful quinceañera Miami has ever seen,” Rebecca Fishman Lipsey, president and CEO of The Miami Foundation, said in a statement. “We’re celebrating 15 years of building a generosity movement that supports nonprofits and their leaders.

Brickell church land is set to become a high-rise. Goodbye to another open space | Opinion
Brickell residents are losing their battle to stop church land along Biscayne Bay from becoming a 75-story high-rise. Yes, they chose to live in Miami’s busiest corridor, where condo and business towers have created the city’s modern signature skyline. But the push for development over preservation risks hurting what makes Miami so attractive to so many people. The 619 Brickell By Nobu, a luxury condo building, is slated to rise behind First Miami Presbyterian Church at 609 Brickell Ave., now that one of the last hurdles to the project has been lifted. The city’s historic preservation board voted 6-1 on Nov. 3 to lift a historic designation from the church’s annexed school and parking lot, where the tower will be built. The board also voted to shrink the site’s historic boundary to just the church and a 15-foot buffer, the Herald reported. The area overlooking the bay behind the church has been used over the years by residents and food trucks. It has also been a welcome bit of open space along the waterfront. The $240 million sale of the land to developers would certainly help a church that has had money issues, but it has rocked First Miami’s congregation
