Dade County...where Football lives...and WINS!


...well we ain't talking about the Dolphins today, lol. Congratulations are in order for MIAMI NORTHWESTERN BULLS and Coach Billy Rolle (straight from West Coconut Grove y'all!!) for becoming the #1 High School football team in the nation. They are just coming down from the high of their state championship win in class 6A as well. All the BullFans out there are rejoicing and BRAGGING (hey, they got a right). Congrats are also do to those TOWNERS (T4L) of BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TORNADOES for their state championship win in class 4A as well; they have been ranked the #8 High School football team in the country.


People ask "what good can come out of Liberty City and Overtown?" I say, take a look at these two teams and the class and dignity they displayed on the field. And its not all gridiron for all the players; two of MNW's top players will be graduating EARLY this year, and are UM bound. Keep up the good work ON and OFF the field kids!

Welcome! and Holiday Greetings...

Happy Holidays to all! Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa...all dat! May you all have a wonderful and SAFE holiday season. Be careful on those highways, at those clubs and parties (no "keepin' it real going wrong" out there, please!) and get ready for the take off of this blog next year. We're tackling some major issues out of Miami-Dade, and all around Florida...

Just a teaser to hold ya 'til '08...

Let's talk about the latest report from the Miami Herald surrounding Commisioner Michelle Spence-Jones (City of Miami, District 2) and associates of hers accepting "consultation fees" for the Coconut Grove condo project per a memo from Commisioner Mark Sarnoff (City of Miami), WIDELY protested by the Grove residents...the drama is unfolding with talks of lawsuits, finger-pointing and all (what's new???)

We've got new music coming out of Dade County over the holidays and in the new year...Rick Ross got Trilla droppin' soon, talks of Trick moving homes, and Trina is "back on the prowl." We'll get into what's up with all these artists moving to Miami too, what are your thoughts?

And we'll discuss the Crosswinds development to come up in historic Overtown, with PowerU for Social Change at the forefront of this latest fight against unfair policies, gentrification, and lack of community involvement in this new project...

That's all for now! Be safe, and gather your thoughts for some real talk in the '08!!
