Miami going from extreme heat to extreme cold: What that may mean for allergies Expect Margaritaville-worthy heat for the weekend’s big outdoor food event. Then a quick change.

Make like Jimmy Buffett at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival over the weekend.

“Shorts and flip-flops because it is going to be sizzling,” said meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez in her CBS News Miami weather forecast broadcast.

Then temperature will tumble.

Miami had a language law before English-only driving tests. See what happened Lets’s look back to a time in 1980 when South Florida moved in a different direction.

A new Florida law requires driving tests to be English-only.

A new play, “English Only,” looks back at the language wars in Miami in the 1980s.

Bad Bunny’s all-Spanish performance at the Super Bowl.

So, where does the language divide this year leave us?

Watching ‘Naked Ambition,’ my pal Dennis Scholl’s affectionate documentary about trailblazing pin-up photographer Bunny Yeager stirred so many personal and professional memories of having grown up on Miami Beach and later writing stories about, and set on, the faces and places of the Beach for the Miami Herald.

• Spending a day driving around town with Larry King, interviewing the interviewer, in 2017 for his 60th anniversary reminiscence of his career start in Miami Beach. Larry told me the same story of an awkward DJ moment and bungled tryst from the 1960s that he shared in the film.

• Overlooking famous folks like Muhammad Ali pulling up to The Wolfie’s across the street from my grandmother’s balcony at 100 Lincoln Road – and dining there with her and Mom in the ‘60s & ‘70s.

• Writing Bunny Yeager’s obituary when she died at 85 in 2014 for the Miami Herald and interviewing Scholl for the piece. (The definitive obit? Yeah. I’m biased.) Find my stories on King and Yeager on miamiherald.com

• And, oh yes, scoring my first Playboy subscription at age 14 when we lived on the Beach. I can still remember the anticipation each month of awaiting its delivery in its brown paper wrapper inside our Lenox Avenue mailbox. My Mom was way cool!
