So, whatever you're doing Saturday night, you may want to remember to advance the hour on your clocks before you hit the pillow.

Presidents Weekend Coconut Grove Style Is All About Art It's that wonderful time of year again--President's Day weekend, (not really) which signals us Grovites that it's time to settle in (especially if you live in or around the center of Coconut Grove) for our big 'bumper & shuffle' weekend.

Shopping at Miami’s Farmers Markets: featuring Zak the Baker November 13th, 2012
The temperature is finally dropping (to a staggering low of 68 degrees tonight!), and while sweaters are still optional, spending my weekends outdoors is not.
