The ashes used are gathered after the Palm Crosses from the previous year’s Palm Sunday are burned.

in Peter/Top Headlines by

A push to decriminalize marijuana could prove a slippery slope, by giving kids the false impression on the safety of a drug increasingly legal nationwide.

Village of Bal Harbour keeps residents in the dark

in Peter/Top Headlines by

Residents of Bal Harbour, one of the smallest municipalities in Miami-Dade County, continue to fight against the aggressive expansion efforts of the seaside town’s namesake shopping center, Bal Harbour Shops. We first discussed the mall’s expansion plans — and the tactics of harassment and bullying it has employed to push them through — in a March 2016 piece entitled The Bullying of a Small Town. In October, we detailed the last-ditch effort by the shopping center’s wealthy owners to remove…
