Meeting Bryan Norcross

Coral Gables, Fla- On July 20, 2017  I attended a book signing event at Books and Books in Coral Gables for Bryan Norcorss's new book My Hurricane Andrew Story.  He talked about his career, his experience up to, during, and after 1992's Hurricane Andrew. His story is fascinating and even brought many audience members, who lived through the storm, to tears.   Many, listened to Bryan's words on the radio, the only means for news updates during those very intense hours of the storm. His unique voice brought comfort to so many considering the situation.  He ended up damaging his vocal cords from the endless hours of speaking from the studio.

In remembrance of the 25th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew,  Brian Norcross has collaborated with HistoryMiami on an exhibition featuring everything related to the hurricane.  This coming Thursday, August 24th, from 10am - 5pm, the museum will be offering free admission to everyone who lives in Miami-Dade County.  For more information call (305) 375-1492.

Vicky's House Coconut Grove, Florida Review

Golden Girls and E.T. Goes To The Movies to watch The Goonies


Coconut Grove, Fla:-Oped- Today, I went to try out Miami's newest milkshake bar and tasting room restaurant called Vicky's House located on Commodore Plaza in Coconut Grove. At Vicky's House , it is modeled after the owner's home from the 1980s with real pictures from the owner as well as playing 80s music. They sell various milkshakes. But they have three specially crafted milkshakes each in which each reference from a popular movie or TV Show from that era. The three are E.T. Goes To The Movies to watch The Goonies, Golden Girls, and The Breakfast Club. Each person in my party ordered one of each and all three taste really good. This is a hidden gem in Coconut Grove that you should definitely try it out. You must be patient though, the place is super small and it takes time for the milkshakes to be made. According to the website,"The FOR RENT sign in front of Vicky's House represents Matt's parent's house which is gone and never coming back UNLESS you time travel there through the phone booth from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure which is located inside of LoKal." Upon first seeing the "For Rent", it can make the people who are going to visit there very confused and assume it's closed. I highly recommend you try this.

NBC 6 Cafe at The Shops at Sunset Place

South Miami, Fla.- This past Friday on July 21st, 2017, the NBC 6 cafe truck came to The Shops at Sunset Place. They offer breakfast and coffee with the viewers and commuters. This gives the Morning News Team an opportunity to meet and connect with them. Y100 Miami was also there playing music and giving away Shawn Mendes tickets. This was a very successful event and I recommend you attend any of the future NBC 6 Cafe events. From left to right: Weatherman Adam Berg, Traffic Reporter Kelly Blanco and Co-Anchor Sheli Muniz.
