Your Evening Sift

The weekend is over and tomorrow we head back to the grindstone. Ugh. On the plus side, this is my last full week before 2 weeks of vacation! Enjoy your weekend-ending evening Sift.

A- Transit Miami reviews the new dog park at Tropical Park and likes it.

The park includes a paved path surrounded by lawn areas (instead of dirt fields that can quickly become muddy), and newly planted trees that will provide shade as they mature. There are ample places to sit, from picnic tables under a tented area to benches scattered along the path. And as a bonus for the pups, there is an obstacle course, doggie fountains and a doggie mister for those really hot afternoons.

B- Random Pixels photoshops Mayor Carlos Alvarez while Eye on Miami gives him the benefit of the doubt.

I truly don't think that Alvarez, on his own, could have thought up the back-dated raises to throw off Commissioner Sally Heyman's public records request. That is not what he has been about his whole career. I don't think he is a sneaky guy by nature. I think he took bad advice and it dug him into a deep hole. He is responsible for the hole but the shoveling of the crap, I am inclined to think it is not him although he consented to it -- putting aside his ideals.

C- The Estefans stopped by the Deuce over the weekend and AshAndBurn got some pictures.

D- Coconut Grove Grapevine giving out Sour Grapes Awards? This from the guy that delinked SFDB because we didn't agree with him 100% time. Oh, the irony.
