For the past years, the economic highlight was placed on the real estate market. Due to ominous conditions of the housing market, it is only natural for people to shun from purchasing real property – the same goes for sellers. Fortunately, the real estate arena has been silently picking up in most states especially Florida. The Miami real estate market conditions are beginning to turn for the better.

Market Conditions

Without looking deeper into the real estate market conditions of Florida, most people would conclude that property sales are taking a nosedive for the worst. That apparent illustration is very far from the truth. In fact, experts reveal that home sales of the Miami real estate market are beginning to soar and projected to stabilize in the coming months.

Numbers released by the Florida Association of Realtors are promising. Sales of homes continue to rise as bargain hunters from all over the country flock to purchase homes owned by the bank. Sales of single-family homes in the Miami-Dade County were shown to increase by more than 50 percent as compared to last years findings.

Market Pricing

The positive news of the Miami real estate market and Florida as a whole can be attributed to: a.) the falling prices of high-priced properties, which constitute a larger share in the market, and b.) the decreasing presence of distressed homes entering the market.

Those looking for properties to buy in Miami would be happy to know that the average prices per square foot have dropped to almost 40 percent as compared to last years prices. In actual numbers, this percentage translates to $127. Currently, there are thousands of homes available in Miami. The average price of listed properties are somewhere around $390,000 or a 3% decrease. Of course, home prices for Miami’s more popular neighborhoods are costlier but equally affected by the price drop.

Market Listings

The vast majority of property listings in the Miami real estate market consist of distressed homes. However, the number of foreclosure listings is slowly beginning to decline as market hunters start buying more and more properties. Apartments, condos and some high-priced homes share the remaining slot of available properties. The positive decline of foreclosure properties only suggests that things are starting to get better because sale prices will start to go down and this would definitely affect the prices of other available properties. Compared to the rest of the country, the real estate market of Miami, as well as others parts of Florida, is significantly brighter.

“In this fall – this is very tough – in this fall I am taking my talents to South Beach and play with the Miami Heat.” It is said that sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Unfortunately, fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers did not expect or want to hear those words from Lebron James. Because with those very words, Lebron not only hurt, but devastated a city that once loved him.

For seven years King James wowed fans in Cleveland and those around the world. He had not only been an exemplary basketball player, but also a model citizen. In todays world of instant news, there was very little if any negative press of Lebron. One decision would change all that. The same fans and owner that had forgiven him for wearing a Yankees hat to Indian games and a Cowboy jacket to Browns games, were now calling him a traitor and the second coming of Benedict Arnold. This is not only wrong, but also hypocritical. Lebron worked for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was an employee. A very well, high paid employee, but an employee none the less. What he did happens everyday in America. People move on for better opportunities. Now, the method in which he did it may be questionable, but his decision to leave for another team should not be viewed so critically. Imagine being a talented young executive of any organization and feeling that you could not leave your current company for new and better opportunities. Picture being called a traitor by your former boss for leaving to go to an organization that not only you can make better, but can make you better. Why is Lebron any different?

I understand that people feel hurt that there hometown hero has decided to take his talent elsewhere. I get it. But the level of criticism and disgust is appalling. Not to mention Dan Gilbert’s letter to the fans. That was simply ridiculous and should have never seen the light of day. To say an individual that has done so much for that city and team quit is unreasonable. To call him a traitor, amongst other things, is totally unfair. For seven years Mr. Gilbert had an opportunity to assemble some talent around Lebron. He didn’t. One on five can not be fun. And although the Cav’s did have some talent, other than Lebron, no one else seemed to show up for the big games. Lebron needed teammates that played with the hearts of champions or hearts of kings. Just as one man does not a team make, as a team, Together Everyone Accomplishes More. If Lebron had stayed for say five or six more years, developed bad knees and still not have won a championship, what would Cleveland think of him? If after that season, Mr. Gilbert decided to trade the thirty or thirty-one year old, would he be considered a traitor? Of course not. It would simply be a business decision. And Lebron made his while he’s young and has the ability to win multiple championships.

Although the City of Cleveland is not happy with Lebron, most of the country and world for that matter is looking forward to what the Miami Heat will do this season. This team will be one of the biggest attractions in America this fall. Finding tickets to Heat games will be nearly impossible and/or extremely expensive. Can the Miami Thrice win a championship this season? Will they be able to share one ball? Can they assemble a team around them? All that is yet to be answered. But it sure will be fun to watch.

Gold Coast, as Miami Vice almost came to be known, debuted over twenty five years ago. The series was an immediate smash and pioneered a new era in television, being one of the first shows to be broadcast in stereo. It defined a decade in music and fashion and is widely recognised for its massive influence on the latter.

The two main characters; Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, were played by Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas respectively. In the show, the clothing worn by the detectives was supposed to be part of the ill-gotten gains confiscated from Miami’s drug dealers. Both actors were draped in the most current designer labels of the day and each sported their own distinct dress code.

Much in the same context as Uma Thurman’s line in Pulp Fiction: “You’re either an Elvis or a Beatles’ man, but never both.” Where dress codes were concerned, you were either a Crockett or Tubbs man. I tried both — the Don Johnson look for smart casual nights and the Philip Michael Thomas approach for weddings and job interviews!

Miami Vice’s influence on male fashion in the 1980s was unprecedented. The expertise of designers such as Hugo Boss and Gianni Versace was called upon to ensure that the show’s wardrobe department was up to date with the latest European trends.

One newspaper article at the time reported that on a shopping trip to Milan, $80,000 was spent on clothing for the two main characters — Crockett and Tubbs. The article went on to say that by the time Johnson and Thomas had returned from Italy, they’d gained weight and the clothes didn’t fit!

The summer after season one; I decided to sport the Crockett look for a Saturday night out. Wearing a pastel blue jacket (cuffs rolled back), mint green granddad tee, shiny marine blue chinos and loafers — sockless — I followed my friends through the doors of a London nightclub. Security nabbed me!

The bizarre thing was that the guys had walked in before me looking like Swytek and Zito after a 12 hour stakeout and nothing — not a glance. I strolled in like a dedicated follower of fashion and three flat-nosed giants in Tuxedos moved towards me in perfect synchrony. Ok, so I was dressed like an undercover TV cop posing as a Miami drug dealer — but this was Camden Palace, London not the Babylon Club, Florida!

A few weeks later, at a relative’s wedding, I left the venue with two telephone numbers. One note was placed straight into the pocket of the black satin shirt I wore under my light grey double breasted suit. Yep, the smooth Philip Michael Thomas look worked for me. I was definitely a Tubbs man. Or at least a Tubbs adolescent!

Well Tropical Hurricane Storm Eduardo is finishing up his visit to the United States and next up to bat during this Cape Verde 2006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season is Tropical Storm Florence. Tropical Storm Florence will most likely become a Hurricane by the weekend and most meteorologists agree she could grow in size to a large Hurricane too. Tropical Storm Florence is still a ways out and moving at only 15 knots right now so it will be a long time until she reaches any thing close to the United States.

So far Florida this year has had basically two practice runs with Tropical Storm Alberto and Tropical Storm Eduardo? Tropical Storm Florence has formed early on way out in the Atlantic some 2,000 miles away from South Miami and 900 miles East of the Leeward Islands. Is it time to batten down the hatches again in preparation?

No, not yet too early to tell, however there are not a lot of forces in the way of Tropical Storm Florence’s way such as significant trade winds or other weather patterns nearby, so if she grows big by the time she arrives it could be a significant issue and mean that some serious preparedness and evacuations could be required and well that is the story on the early formation of Tropical Storm Hurricane Florence during the 2006 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Season, so consider all this in 2006.
