Stiltsville Is a Neighborhood Without a Shore

Miami has plenty of waterfront houses. Stiltsville has houses that appear to have skipped the waterfront altogether. Out on the shallow flats of Biscayne Bay, buildings on pilings seem to hold an argument with the ordinary idea of a lot line. They are a strange sight in a national park: private-looking structures surrounded by public water, their history tangled with recreation, clubs, changing ownership and storms.

The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.

In Hialeah, Florida GOP candidates evoke socialism to woo Hispanic voters

The parking lot filled before the speeches began. People arrived in work clothes and Sunday shirts, some with children, some with folding chairs, talking in Spanish and English about rent, groceries, and relatives still on the island. In a city where politics is often a family argument carried across decades, the Hialeah GOP rally had the feel of a neighborhood meeting that had simply grown a stage. Candidates spoke about prices and public safety, then returned to a familiar warning: socialism, they said, is not an abstract slogan here. It is a story people can name.
