INTO THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER\u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n

heard the phrase \u201cthe dog days of summer;\u201d well it seems we\u2019ve got a kennel full\u00a0of those dogs!\u00a0 <\/span>With record days of high temperatures, it\u2019s been brutal so far!\u00a0 <\/span>We just have to \u201cweather through it\u201d until mid-October, although that start time is gotten pushed back in the past three years.\u00a0 <\/span>What to do?!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So kick back, pour yourself a chilled white wine or summertime cocktail and pour through the latest issue of SOMI Magazine.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

We continue our exclusive cover features of area community resources and places of interest with a visit to the Montgomery Botanical Garden located on Old Cutler Drive.\u00a0 <\/span>Unlike Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, the Montgomery center is exclusively a research institution.\u00a0 <\/span>Yet however, visitors are welcome; an appointment is necessary.\u00a0If you are into palms and cycads this is one of the premier centers in the world and\u00a0well worth a visit.<\/p>\n

Soccer fever gripped the world for one month with 3.4 billion watching The World Cup 2018 from Russia.\u00a0 <\/span>And with the French win in The World Cup, SOMI Magazine took to the street to visit with our French owned businesses to congratulate them (see page 34).\u00a0 <\/span>Local fever also intensified as famed British super star celeb David Beckham, visited the community to discuss his proposed Miami franchise (see page 20).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Underline is the ambitious project to transform the ten miles of fallow land under the Metrorail from Dadeland to downtown Miami into an urban park and trail.\u00a0 <\/span>SOMI Magazine is the sole media sponsor of this endeavor, and provides regular updates from Meg Daly, President of the Friends of the Underline.\u00a0 <\/span>Pedestrian and bicycle safely are paramount in the planning out of this project as it intersects US1 crossings throughout.\u00a0 <\/span>To better inform our readership about this project, we\u2019ve dedicated two pages to present an FDOT report and plans in development, starting on page 38.<\/p>\n

In this issue\u2019s Business Milestone feature, we visit with Deli Lane\u2019s dynamic duo of\u00a0Jahn and Mike.\u00a0 <\/span>Deli Lane has been serving great eats to the community for thirty years.\u00a0 <\/span>Congratulations!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that mom and pop businesses are struggling throughout the United States, we too have seen our share of this problem here in town.\u00a0 <\/span>Yet many of the shuttered businesses are finding new life as other entrepreneurs are planning on SOMI as their destination.\u00a0 <\/span>See our What\u2019s New in Town feature on pages 40 & 41. And most importantly, SHOP SMALL IN SOMI all year round.<\/p>\n

This is the last installment of SOMI Magazine\u2019s thirteenth year. I invite you to \u2018Be Part of the Conversation\u201d and weigh-in with your comments in our Readers Survey.\u00a0 <\/span>A printed survey is on page 21 and it can also be completed online. Your comments are always welcome and much appreciated.<\/p>\n

\u2018Catch up with you as we begin Volume XIV come this October.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer, and get ready to greet a change\u00a0in the weather come mid-October.<\/p>\n
