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

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,
