Hello Key Biscayne!

Well, you guys got what you wanted: the key is so quiet that nothing happened this week. They shooed off all the kids and now there’s nothing to bitch about.

It does make this job easier, though, so there’s that.

Nothing all the way down.

More bay blues

The Rag has harped on about the need for access to the bay for residents, to no avail. Advocating here is about as effective as starting one of those online petitions. Still, a reader sent in this little tidbit about this crummy, yet available, access to the bay they and their friends had figured out, and so here’s a mention.

The spot was a little opening accessible from between the Crossbridge Church and St. Agnes field. These rats were trudging paddleboards and kayaks over 100m through the buggy bush just to be able to get on the water. The volume of people going through must’ve gotten too high because the church put up a fence blocking access.

Voyeur's vantage

Last week we mentioned the creepy camera set up at the beach, and the creepiest part is that the Rag has already set up a TV with it streaming beach footage 24/7. That’s good news for you, though, as you get these dumb pics to look at.

On the mixed up stories and rumors about that assault two weeks ago:

Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another you’d been messin’ around…🎶
