Super Producer Timbaland Moves to Coral Gables
Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake and Jay Z superproducer / collaborator Timbaland just bought an $8 million house in Coral Gables near Gables Estates.

Take a virtual tour (pro tip: don’t use mobile, use desktop) of almost every square inch, including the engine room, swimming pool, owners deck, and everything in-between, or just consume the sizzle reel.
Nexxt Cafe on Lincoln Road Closes Unexpectedly
Nothing beats the open-minded freedom of strolling pedestrian-only thoroughfares, like Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive during Art Deco Weekend, or Giralda Avenue in Coral Gables.

Sunday night, they suddenly closed their doors forever, just a month after SUSHISAMBA announced their December 17th closing. Read Nexxt Cafe’s goodbye note.
Brickell City Center Burger King Becoming Gargantuan Skyscraper
The Federal Aviation Administration has approved an almost 1000′ tall skyscraper condominium / hotel to be built on the skanky Burger King site, in-between Mary Brickell Village and Brickell City Center.
