Eggs stored under a dripping pipe and croquetas trashed at a Miami-Dade bakery

Cleanliness, sanitizing after cleaning and proper food storage were some of the ways a West Miami-Dade bakery wasn’t up to snuff during a state inspection last week. Friday’s stop at Suarez Bakery by Florida Department of Agriculture inspectors Lori James and Luis Lopez ended with a Re-Inspection Required result, the designation of a failed Ag Department inspection. READ MORE: Utensils not properly cleaned and sanitized at an inspected Miami-Dade bakery Here’s some of what James and Lopez found wrong at Suarez Bakery, 10684 Fontainebleu Blvd., in the strip mall at the corner of Fontainebleau Boulevard and Northwest 107th Avenue: The food-service area’s ice machine had “black, mold-like substance on and around the ice chute and interior housing.” The inspectors hit the ice machine with a Stop Use Order, which they lifted once the machine was washed, rinsed and sanitized. Also in the food-service area, “cups, silverware, tongs, stirring wands, and plates were washed and rinsed at the ware wash sink, but not sanitized before use.” That’s probably because the ware wash sink sanitizer, which should’ve measured 200 parts per million, measured zero parts per million, as did the sanitizer in the backroom ware wash sink. Also in the backroom, there

New townhomes are coming to Little Haiti - but owners won't own the land

City and county leaders broke ground on a new townhouse development in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood aimed at giving working-class buyers an affordable path to homeownership. Place Louverture will have 13 townhomes on a corner lot along Northeast 67th Street. The development marks the first Miami-Dade County project for the South Florida Community Land Trust, a Broward-based nonprofit that helps first-time homebuyers and families displaced by South Florida’s soaring housing costs. Under the community land trust model, buyers purchase the home i at a reduced price while the nonprofit retains permanent ownership of the underlying land. The groundbreaking comes as soaring property taxes and living expenses weigh heavy on longtime residents in the historically working-class neighborhood. Sampson Lisca, who bought his Little Haiti home 20 years ago, said escalating expenses are making it increasingly difficult to hold onto his property. “I just paid $5,200 for taxes,” Lisca said. Miami City Commissioner Christine King, who represents the district, said local leaders must make sure that people are not priced out of their neighborhood. “We have to look out for everybody,” King said. While developers say families who qualify for Place Louverture townhomes will be able to pass the properties down for

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

‘District level reform': How Success Academy hopes to change education in Florida

In about nine months, parts of Westland Hialeah Senior High’s second and third floors will be filled with the energetic chatter of kindergarteners and first-graders who won a spot in the lottery to become Success Academy’s first students outside of New York City. Students will go up a staircase that’s currently being built just for them in the back of the school to gather in pastel-colored classrooms filled with bookshelves, counting blocks, chess games and baby dolls. Success Academy Westland Hialeah Elementary is one of the first five schools of the nonprofit charter operator, known for its high test scores and rigorous culture, to co-locate inside Miami-Dade public schools. But for founder Eva Moskowitz, these schools represent a larger ambition: building a Florida network big and successful enough to demonstrate that her model can work at district scale. Moskowitz wants 40 schools in Florida within the next decade and expansion appears to be just around the corner. Last month, the charter school toured and got floor plans for another ten existing public schools to possibly open next in Miami-Dade. Read more: Success Academy wants to open 40 schools in Florida.

Miami-Dade's elections department paid for a cartoon mascot. It's the supervisor

Alina Garcia, Miami-Dade’s elections supervisor , now has a cartoon avatar who stars in a tax-funded coloring book about democracy and, this fall, looked out from lapel pins that were distributed to poll workers. Like Garcia, “Super Ali” has long blonde hair, but Super Ali has a red cape and a star-spangled ballot box for a body. That cartoon ballot box has a seal with Garcia’s name on it. “These are great tools for engagement with our youngest citizens, to create a voting culture,” Elections spokesperson Juan Mendieta said of the Super Ali swag the Elections Department is funding. In August, the Elections Department paid $1,160 for 1,000 of the Super Ali pins. The next month, the department paid $1,560 for 1,500 “Guardians of Democracy” coloring books, which have Garcia’s name and Super Ali on the cover. Mendieta provided invoices for the purchases at the Miami Herald’s request this week. Inside the coloring book, there are voters, candidates and ballot boxes to color, plus a crossword and word search that both have “Alina Garcia” as clues. Garcia, a Republican, is Miami-Dade’s first elected supervisor of elections — a post that used to be a department head under the county’s mayor.

Florida's DEI ban risks erasing Hispanic voices, others from local government | Opinion

An open letter to Gov.-elect Byron Donalds and Lt. Gov.-elect Bryan Avila: For the past two years, it has been a true honor and privilege to serve on the Miami-Dade County Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board, representing District 4. When I accepted this appointment, I knew I would be serving my community. What I did not fully realize was the extraordinary work this board does behind the scenes, supporting organizations, helping Hispanic families overcome challenges, promoting education, connecting residents with resources to become informed, engaged and active members of our community. Just to be clear, this is not a political movement. This is a public service that brings together 23 brilliant individuals with different backgrounds, professional experiences, political affiliations and points of view. We do not always agree. As a matter of fact, we sometimes strongly disagree. But there is one thing that brings us together: our commitment to improving the lives of the people we represent. And isn’t that what democracy is about? In Miami-Dade, where more than 70% of our population is Hispanic or Latino, the Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board has served as an important bridge between government and the community, with a mission of identifying community needs, developing
