Your best defense against the coming A.I. apocalypse may involve knot-tying, campfires and a walk through the woods. Scout groups are forming now, and that’s only the beginning of a week that also includes free trees, bird walks, theater, live music, civic forums. Staying home would be an unforced error.

Where we’ll be
Grovey things to do. There’s so much here… (Hint: Use the Search tool.)
Where We’ll Be: Miami Pretends Fall Has Arrived
If you can’t believe it’s autumn, you’re not alone. Miami Spice extended its run through Halloween – an official declaration that shorts remain appropriate civic attire.

Where We’ll Be: Cheap Dates, Good Music, Big Weekend
Summer may still have Miami by the thermostat, but the fall calendar has clearly arrived.

Where We’ll Be: Back to School
It’s back to school this week for public school students in Miami-Dade County, which means more traffic for all of us and… more homework for parents! We can’t do much about the traffic, but the county’s library system is ready to help with the homework, beginning August 26, with free[Read More…]
The Kampong Ascendent
A hearty shout-out to The Kampong, newly recognized (about time!) by The New York Times as one of the nation’s finest urban gardens.
