The South Florida blogosphere is littered with the carcasses of old blogs that have gone the way of the 8-track. Here are three that I wish I could bring back to life...
South Florida's Three Blogs That Should Be Resurrected
1. Critical Miami
Critical Miami's 3-year run that ended suddenly on June 23, 2008 seems longer than what it really was for some reason. And although Alesh and I never really got along [and still don't], I have to say that it was my first read every day. Nothing like it has come along since. It's eclectic mix of commentary and original material has yet to be matched.
2. Miami Vison Blogarama!
MVB, as I affectionately called it, was only around a little over a year before abruptly leaving stage left on December 17, 2007. Great photoshops and biting political and social commentary were the hallmarks of this short-lived blog.
3. Boom or Bust: Miami
Boom or Bust: Miami was all about clear, coherent and intelligent discussion about South Florida development. Bob Miami was around for just over a year when it slowly fizzled out in the early part of 2008. In that short time, BoB developed quite a following that was sorry to see him abandon the blog.

And while we're wishing for things that are no more, how about a nickle beer, the love of a good woman, and that acre on the ocean for $10,000!
I totally agree. Those were great blogs.
I nominate Miamifever to be added to the list!
Agree. Wish they'd come back.
Every now and then I visit those three blogs, hoping against hope that they're active again.
I nominate White Dade
Anon and jc: those would have been numbers 4 and 5.....

UHH!
I nominate Stuck on the Palmetto. At least you can read the CM archives. Open the archives, Rick!!
BTW, as I recall the one time we actually hung out we got along great?
Nothing to open, Alesh. All gone. Honest.

That's before we got to know each other.

Well, there may have been a few contentious moments, but all in fun as far as I can tell. Whatever.
Nothing is gone, as far as the wayback machine is concerned
I miss "Klotz As In Blood." Rumor is the asshole died. I blame Alesh.
Well, then, who needs archives?
.
I left some of my best stuff on SoTP.
No, wait. That was the toilet.
Nevermind.
