Too many events

Wow, Miami-Dade’s planning for major events is just brilliant. Last weekend, the Miami Heat played the LeBron James Cleveland Cavaliers at the Triple A; a quarter mile away, you had the Ultra Music Festival. At the Dolphin stadium, it was the Jazz in the Gardens, and let’s not forget the Key Biscayne Party.

Why not schedule the downtown Grand Prix around all the barricades at the same time?

The noise doesn’t matter, the attorneys already moved their important meetings away from the front windows, and regular folks don’t need to go to the airport, anyway.

Andre Banert,

Miami
