Yung Frizzle. What. Just. Happened? Something magical is going down in Miami. This city is on one right now. How do I put this: You know things are changing when Overtown is now the place to be. Red Rooster. I see you Derek Fleming.

Wynwood has straight up changed everything. Just the other day there was not a building above two stories in this neighborhood. Now look at it, turning bougie on South Florida with upscale restaurants and graffiti high rises. Hello Arlo.

Doja Cat at Meta House. Meshell Ndegeocello at PAM. DJ Moma at Everyday People. Art Basel 2022 was ludicrous in all the best ways imaginable. How long will Mother Nature allow this Miami real estate boom to prevail? Dr. James Hansen.

I would like to blame Urban Outfitters for making instant film a thing again. Along with baggy jeans, braids, and fanny packs. Ilana Millner, please help me remove those ringworms from future Polaroid scans. Newton’s rings are just yuck.

Chopping it up with Aubrey McGuire on his story for spray painting butterflies and yellowjackets in his graffiti art. And to see so many African artists represented at Spectrum Art Fair. The creative world sojourned to Miami with a vengeance.

This marks the end of the eighth year for Story. Fuhhh, are you kidding me? No time to take that memory lane stroll just yet. XYNN may need to host a fiesta grande for that imminent Story 100 milestone. Hello tunnel vision, pleasure reuniting.
