Cuba oil drilling: Companies abandon search for oil in Cuba's deep waters - OrlandoSentinel.com: "After spending nearly $700 million during a decade, energy companies from around the world have all but abandoned their search for oil in deep waters off the north coast of Cuba near Florida, a blow to the Castro regime but a relief to environmentalists worried about a major oil spill. Decisions by Spain-based Repsol and other companies to drill elsewhere greatly reduce the chances that a giant slick along the Cuban coast would ride ocean currents to South Florida, threatening its beaches, inlets, mangroves, reefs and multibillion-dollar tourism industry. . ."

Española Way Art Center Closing After 25 Years - Page 1 - News - Miami - Miami New Times: "The building was long owned by South Beach revivalist Craig Robbins, who allowed artists to use the space for minimal rent while he bought decaying buildings and helped turn around the Beach's fortunes in the early '90s. More recently, Craig's brother Scott owned the building and continued to allow the art studios to occupy the spaces. The artists exhibited everything from paintings and photography to sculptures and mixed-media works, and visitors could walk into studios to chat with creative types living and working in the boho enclave. "We all stayed open ten hours a day, every day to share our vision with the people who walked through our doors," Davis says. But Scott recently finalized a plan to refurbish the property and turn it into eight hotel units.

"TIMESCAPES" Captures The Vibrancy Of South Beach Through Paint, Mosaics And Mirrors - WSJ.com: "Jeffrey's background in large-scale graffiti art and spray-painting coupled with Sebastian's vast knowledge of stained glass, mirrored mosaic and public murals were instrumental to the success of the commission. "Both stained glass and spray paint have very highly saturated and flat qualities so it made sense to approach the design in terms of the architecture, the graphics, the space, and the whole context of the environment," noted Duncan-Portuondo. "Responding to one another's work as we moved along, having fun with the project and having the freedom to go where we wanted to artistically, is what helped us achieve Cricket's goal successfully.""

Chetrit Group buys Miami Beach Resort

Chetrit group buys Miami Beach Resort
"Once known as the Doral, the oceanfront hotel on the 4800 block of Collins Avenue rivaled the Fontainebleau and Eden Roc as the place where stars vacationed and performed when in town. But through the years, the property slipped competitively as both properties underwent renovations and courted new generations of stars. “It’s terrific for the beach,’’ Gregory Rumpel, managing director of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels and a broker on the deal, said of Chetrit’s purchase. “This is a great old lady that is going to get the proper attention and capital.” The Chetrit Group has been busy in Miami Beach: The developer bought the Tides in 2011 and made it part of the boutique King & Grove brand. The group is also working on the Hotel Versailles at 3425 Collins Ave.; a complex with a hotel in the Collins Park neighborhood; a restoration of the closed Fairwind Hotel at 10th Street and Collins Avenue and a project behind the Tides." (read more at link above)
