From Miami Beach 411:

• Top 10 Celebrity Houses Seen On Miami Boat Cruise (Photos) The tour itself is geared toward highlighting the homes of celebrities and landmarks.  While that in itself is interesting, the views granted from the water of downtown Miami, the bay, Fisher Island, South Beach, the port, the islands… they are impressive, to say the least.
• Staying at the Jazz Hostel In an ocean of pretension, the Jazz is a laidback island in the storm, where you can still grab a bunk for under $20 and enjoy the party without ever leaving the building.
• Introducing: Weekly Columns by Local Experts All this week, we’re launching a new series of weekly columns, written by several familiar names in the Miami scene, and a few fresh faces offering new perspectives.
• Miami: America’s Most Transient City When people talk about where they’d like to move, Miami is always on the top of the list. But if this town is so great, how come nobody ever stays?
