It’s no secret that Florida is weird. Many a journalist, politician, reality TV watcher, and even your average Fark browser can attest to the fact that we’re the weirdest state out of all 50. And while lots of bizarre crap goes down in South Florida (causeway face-eaters, anyone?), we’d argue…
New Year’s Eve is a night when Magic City locals really let loose — we drink and dance the night away, spending hour after sweaty hour in an overcrowded nightclub, racking up a three digit bar tab. Wait, that’s just a regular night in the 305, isn’t it?Why do we…
Viva la long weekend! Except if you don’t start making plans soon, you’ll probably spend the next four days watching a Saved by the Bell marathon with a straw stuck in your Jimmy Buffet brand margarita machine. But planning a weekend trip from Miami ain’t easy. We’re surrounded by water…
Do you need an escape from Miami but don’t want to travel far? Drive down to John Pennekamp in Key Largo and snorkel out to Jesus. That’s right, we said Jesus! The 10-foot statue of Jesus was made by Italian artist/professor Guido Galletti. But before you dive in, here are…
Feeling restless this summer? You don’t have to travel half-way around the globe to witness something awesome. Just take a drive in the 305. Coral Castle in Homestead is just creepy, weird, and wonderful enough to lure in both locals and tourists.Like the Taj Mahal, the Castle is a monument…

It’s easy to forget Miami and South Florida are actually part of the rest of Florida most of the time. We might fancy ourselves cosmopolitan, but invariably we are humbled by the realization that we are closer to the “South” than we are comfortable admitting. That point is unmistakably driven…
What can you get for $10 at the Swap Shop? In past years, we’ve haggled over knickknacks from animals to construction equipment to a handgun. We bought a fat-tailed gecko from a toothless woman who had, amongst other animals, prairie dogs and baby alligators. On another occasion, we held our…
El Jefe doesn’t give Cultist much time off, but when he does, we like to spend our hard-earned blog money road tripping through Florida, stopping at quirky roadside attractions and buying-up neat little souvenir-stand knickknacks along the way. So much so, we decided to start our own mini-travel series, “Worth…
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is next Monday, and we want to help you plan the perfect long weekend: Take a trip to the Everglades with Dave Shealy, director of the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters. It’s in Ochopee, a small town just 60 or so miles west of Miami, which…
