5 Best Restaurants in Hollywood, Florida You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them
Hollywood, Florida — a city where the palms sway in the Atlantic breeze, where pastel Art Deco facades catch the sun, and where the scent of Cuban coffee and ocean salt lingers on every corner. Here, the streets are stitched together by the laughter of families, the wisdom of old-timers, and the dreams of newcomers drawn by the promise of sun and possibility. Hollywood is a patchwork — of retirees and artists, of snowbirds and surfers, of those who gather at the Broadwalk for sunrise and linger long after the music starts.

Racist group chats sparked fear at FIU. Now a judge signals who may win lawsuit
A federal judge in Miami signaled Thursday that she is strongly inclined to rule in favor of Florida International University in a First Amendment lawsuit brought by four students suspended or expelled over racist, antisemitic and violent messages exchanged in private group chats.
