Welcome to the first addition of Florida in Video. This week, two videos showing how to have fun on a windy day…

It’s the party night of all party nights around the world. So what does Miami have in store? 

Marley and Me is not your typical Miami movie. While most films are set here because some of the subject matter is pertinent to the area (think drugs, Cubans, hurricanes, football, crimes, guns, sex, fancy cars or any combination of the above) this movie is about something so wholesome it hardly seems to fit in a movie set in South Florida: A dog.

Have you heard about Miami’s stilt houses built above the water in Biscayne Bay? Books, movies and TV shows have featured the place. The area is called “Stiltsville,” and federal parks officials want to tear it down. 

Once again, we enter the mind of popular Florida author and columnist Carl Hiaasen. This time, we enter a fictional world, rather than his observations of Florida’s happenings. The novel, Striptease, takes us into the seedy underworld of strip clubs…

For those of you with your head in the sand or just trying to pretend it’s not here, Art Basel has arrived.

Take a guesthouse, mix it with the privacy and amenities of a hotel and throw in some quirky style, and you’ve got the basic recipe for a successful boutique hotel.  Here in South Beach, these architectural monuments of yesteryear thrive today, providing just the right setting for guests whose tastes demand something beyond the blandness of a chain experience, at rates most budgets can afford.

Thanksgiving week is always an amazing week in Miami and this year is no different. Madonna, world-class DJs, and White Party are all in town this week with Art Basel right around the corner…

When Showtime’s advertising department decided to do their Dexter profile for Rolling Stone they had a lot of Miami-related websites to choose from when naming their favorite. And they chose miamibeach411.com for our abundance of true-crime writing. And though I am mildly embarrassed to say I had never seen an episode of “Dexter” before the Rolling Stone profile, I can now safely say I am as big a fan of his as he is of me.

Madonna’s former mansion, The Miami Herald Building, Bay of Pigs Memorial, and the Art Deco Fish Wall in South Beach. These are just some of the things you’ll see at Paul’s Travel Pictures today.

No other city that does not base its entire economy around games of chance has more opportunities to flush away your welfare check than Miami, and locals and tourists alike flock to our horse tracks, dog tracks and casinos like sailors to a siren.

There’s no shortage things to do in town this weekend!!! Cirque du Soleil returns, the Book Fair and Auto Show continue. There’s plenty more! Read on…

I am very excited to announce that MiamiBeach411 is moving from the information super highway to the actual roads and highways around the City by offering daily bus tours of Miami, narrated in 5 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian.

Miami’s leading community website is getting into the tour and transportation business. We’re introducing four new tour buses throughout 2009, with the first three models already on the road. Please allow me to introduce our fleet…

Things have slowed down since the craziness of last weekend but there’s plenty to do this weekend! Read on…
