SFDB Post Of The Week



SFDB selects its Post of the Week by going back and reviewing all the Sifts that we've done over the past 7 days. We find the best post of the week and note the runners ups as we judge them to be.

It was a strong, strong week for blogs in the South Florida Blogosphere. When I finished sifting through the Sifts, I had 12 posts looking at me. Out of those 12 posts rose 4...and here they are...

Runners-Up: Hidden City continues an uptick in his posting schedule which means more quality writing for all of us to enjoy. With that said, Telling The Story is a very, very strong runner-up. Focusing on pedestrian traffic on Brickell Avenue has been a hallmark of Transit Miami lately and they continued this week with a great piece on how inconvenient it can be to cross that busy Miami thoroughfare. Beached Miami keeps ripping it up covering concerts, fashion shows and just about anything else that is interesting, but one of their best posts this week was the one they just happened to stumble upon while driving through Little Haiti one night.



Winner: While Little Haiti proved to be good PotW runner-up material for Beached Miami, their excellent profile of attorney Alberto Milian, son of a Miami radio host assassinated maimed in a 1976 car bombing carried out ostensibly by Cuban-American hardliners, brought home the bacon this week. The well-written post incorporated a video and a healthy dose of history that made reading it both educating and entertaining. It's the kind of post that makes my sifting through the blogosphere well worth the time and effort. For that, I'm happy to recognize Miamians: Alberto Milian, Son Of Miami Terrorism Victim as this week's Post of the Week.

'Til next time, keep on blogging!

I think Emilio Milian lost his legs in a car-bombing. He hosted a well regarded radio show in Miami until his passing, which was relatively recently, though I cant remember exactly when.

I think the term you're looking for is half-assination. As always, feel free to use it anytime.
