Hello Key Biscayne!
We’re officially in mid-summer. Things are at a medium pace until fall, but if you look around you can find something to do. Dress a little lighter and embrace that heat.
Alright, fun's over.
We could have had a thing but the statuette is gone again and the on and off is too much. That’s it for a while. 🙏
Newsies
Outta left field Hey, here’s something that’s never happened before: Dade County is looking at big projects that affect us without letting us know.
Out of nowhere the county has asked for proposals for a new Rickenbacker Causeway. While the whole thing is very early, it’s definitely on the radar. 🚲
Catchup After that tragic building collapse in Surfside, the screws are being tightened. It turns out there’s about a dozen buildings on the Key that haven’t submitted their proper maintenance paperwork, according to the Village (your lowly editor’s included). Will we see a collapse here on the Key? Eh, we’ll take that bet; nothing ever happens here. 🏢
Throw down You want better services while your taxes go down? That’s a nice dream, but maybe there’s something to be found in the middle. If you’re big on the Village budget you gotta watch this; they’re trying to figure it out before they seal the deal in October. 💸
Tidbits The Towers aren’t falling.
For all those who asked what’s happening at St. Agnes, they’re getting closer to God with a brand new church. ✝️
