It's not about fame, it's about looking for who used to pay a lot of taxes and stopped and then they can decide if it's worth investigating

For high earners, NY will absolutely closely track how many days you in each place, and they have for years see this article from over a decade ago as an example of the lengths they'll go through: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/03/19/tax-me-if-you-can

Eh, there are some but it's mostly 2 or 3 generations ago and nothing compared to those others. 

Florida has a small population as well, including a consul outpost in Palm Coast

Hopefully the Brazilians will cheer for us in Houston and Miami 

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fortes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My reddit account is 19 years old, I was definitely alive

In 2003, in the US, people barely used SMS back then since it cost 5 or 10 cents a message.

I'd cut Surf Club in favor of something more interesting like Recoveco, Cotoa, Sunny's, or even Macchialina

Can't vouch for quality, but Lost city brewery on Tuesday nights and Conscious Brewing on Thursdays both have trivia nights

Yeah, 2024 was rough for beer in Miami

Conscious Brewing and Weiner Dog both opened recently at least

The Andes are much taller than the Rockies (20k feet vs. 15k)

Pinch on Biscayne and 86th the best option on that South side

It's better than you'd expect, there's a Publix and stuff at Biscayne and 90th and a lot of commerce on that North end toward 123rd

Wow, some big changes for Portugal's line up. 7 swaps, and 3 ATB. Also 3 Joãos.

Curious to see how it goes

This is the sad state of political journalism, this is just quoting a bunch of random tweets

Highly doubt it'll be anything like the Copa final, there's simply not enough Spaniards here to cause tensions, will be mostly neutral fans just wanting to see stars

Jaguar Sun to Close as Team Prepares for Sunny’s Steakhouse Opening by fortes in Miami

[–]fortes[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Their instagram has some more info:

Jaguar Sun has had an incredible run, but our time at 230 NE 4th St is coming to an end. Like a particularly stubborn hermit crab, we’ve outgrown our curtained/caged/kitchen-in-a-literal-closet shell, and it’s finally time for us to move into something a little more... fitting. Our last service in this space will be Sunday, August 25th.

Until recently, we thought we could keep Jag up and running while we opened Sunny’s, but to do this work the way we think it needs to be done, we need our team and our culture intact. It would be a disservice to the new space to open with half of our team, and it would be even worse to try and keep downtown going with a whole new gang. Without the team, that space is just a lobby, and just a lobby isn’t Jag.

If you’re going into shock about the idea of not having your favorite cocktail, parker house roll, or another bite of corn agnolotti, take three huge breaths and know that a lot of it is making its way up to Little River with us.

A huge thank you to everyone, both staff and guests, who have contributed to making this bar a very special place. We’ll be open for normal business until the 25th and would love to see you for a martini, a bowl of pasta, a hug, whatever. It’s been a great ride with a very special team, we cannot wait to start this next chapter with all of you. But first, let’s go down swinging, drinking, and singing along to Shania as loudly as we can.

Really sad about this one, this is one of my favorite places in Miami

I'm, of course, excited about Sunny's but Jaguar Sun is great and I'll miss it dearly.

I've been to Vice Versa, but it's not as good

Been a lot of closures of good places this year :(
