~ by Terence

The result was a new ordinance that legalizes private ticketing — as long as companies use, and avoid, certain […]

~ by Terence

Published on November 25th, 2019 in the Miami Herald: White sand beneath your feet. Clear water lapping at the shore. Cool shade under the buttonwood trees.

The True Story Behind Miami’s “Haunted” Former Cuban Consulate [Miami New Times]

~ by Terence

Published on October 29th, 2019 in the Miami New Times: Autumn rain flowed off Villa Paula’s rooftop balustrades, down the whitewashed columns, and across the colorful Cuban patio tiles. Two statues of Greek gods stood nearby, dripping amid pink bougainvilleas in the home’s garden. Only a concrete sarcophagus in the corner of the backyard avoided a soaking. The thick roots of a ficus tree had grown over it, gripping it claw-like and funneling away the downpour. It would take a […]

~ by Terence

Published on September 23rd, 2016 in the Miami New Times: “Just look at our skyline and imagine what’s going to be there in five or ten years. If the public knew the extent to which some of those buildings were pushed through, I think it would reflect poorly on the city and the City Attorney’s office.” This is Justin Wales, a 30-year-old First Amendment attorney who describes himself on Twitter as a “lawyer/nerd/punk/activist” who is “changing the way Miami does […]

Life in the Rail World [Biscayne Times]

~ by Terence

Published in the September, 2013 issue of the Biscayne Times newspaper: I wanted to be carried away by the clickety-clack romance of steel wheels and sway along the rails from Miami to Orlando, brimming with nostalgia.

They said they’d choose Amtrak any day over driving or flying to Orlando, […]

It’s called Bird Key. And it’s covered in garbage. From the waterline deep into the mangroves, there are tires, deck chairs, wood planks, beer cans, plastic bottles, children’s toys, fishing line, shoes, crates, coolers, plastic drums and an endless array of […]

Miami Outlaw [NPR]

~ by Terence

Broadcasted January 26th, 2012 on South Florida’s NPR station, WLRN:  Bailey was a fighting dog. A pit bull. But when he crawled out from under a parked car in Little Haiti last year, he didn’t look very tough. He looked like he’d had enough. Bailey was about two years old. He kept his head low to the ground when he walked. He had big, brown bloodshot eyes, three missing claws, a half dozen bite marks, and an ugly collection of […]

Published in the July, 2011 issue of the Biscayne Times newspaper: When Rene Martinez opens the front door of his house, he sees nothing but cars. From the back door, it’s the same view.

Vertical City [Biscayne Times]

Published in the February, 2011 issue of the Biscayne Times newspaper: The streets are lined with stout glass towers, perfect palm trees planted in perfect rows, private boat slips, golf courses, jogging paths, faux-Mediterranean townhomes, and all the usual emblems of an upscale, South Florida suburban community. This is Aventura, an unmistakably American version of paradise where stray foliage doesn’t stand a chance, zoning codes seem like scripture, and residential enclaves boast more security than a South American drug ranch.

Published in the June, 2010 issue of the Biscayne Times newspaper: On the quiet Oleta River in North Miami Beach, where tall mangrove forests grow along the ancient shorelines and block out the noise of the city beyond, a nine-person crew sits in a long, hand-painted boat, waiting for an order.

One Big House, Many Different Lives [Biscayne Times]

Published in the May, 2010 issue of the Biscayne Times newspaper: It was a water-pumping station, a house of music, a private residence, maybe a church, a chop shop, flop house, meeting place for mystics, and finally a beauty salon.

Named for the citrus-rich agricultural community that […]

Lady’s Man [Biscayne Times]

Published in the January, 2010 issue of the Biscayne Times newspaper: The days when Miami was awash in cocaine, cash, and bullet-riddled bodies are over. Today art gallery owners likely outnumber drug lords, and running gun battles are far less common than book fairs, art festivals, music conferences, and fashion shows. What was once the nation’s murder capital is now a […]

Published in the March, 2009 issue of the Biscayne Times newspaper: Not far from Biscayne Boulevard, outside his ramshackle home just north of the 79th Street Causeway drawbridge, Omar Ali is slumped in a folding chair, his thin frame draped in well-worn canvas work clothes, his face turned toward the sun. He’s listening to Classical FM radio over a pair of loudspeakers, fidgeting with an unlit cigarette, and watching an osprey obsessively circling the sun-sparkled waters of Biscayne Bay that […]

Third-Person Confusion

~ by Terence

The measure of a great artist is not how well they’ve mastered their craft, but how well they use the tools at their disposal. Not everyone can be a Mozart, Shakespeare, or Michelangelo, but with enough passion and originality, great art is possible. Still, every craft has a set of skills which must be understood. For writers, Point of View (POV) is a major component of the skill set and probably the hardest to comprehend. As is often the case […]
