WE\u2019RE OFF TO A RUNNING START!<\/b><\/p>\n

As we note the coming of fall, we\u2019re now just settling into a new collegiate and NFL schedule, TV network premieres,\u00a0 <\/span>school projects for kids (and parents too!) and so much more.\u00a0 <\/span>Facial hair is in as seen on popular hosts Alex Trebeck and late night host Stephen Colbert.\u00a0 <\/span>Let\u2019s see how long that will last.<\/p>\n

With October, there\u2019s another new iPhone \u2013 right on cue — and we welcome a new volume year of SOMI Magazine \u2013 our fourteenth.\u00a0 <\/span>Thanks to all those retail business, restaurants, institutions and service providers who have contributed to the success of this publication with their advertising and, in many cases, their personal support over past thirteen years. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you like what we\u2019ve done with the graphics and content on some of our regular features. We continue the magazine\u2019s commitment to promote and support those regional cultural institutions and resources in our \u201cbackyard,\u201d however, this time in the bay with the story of Stiltsville. Many readers have favorably commented and appreciate the magazine\u2019s coverage of these local treasures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another well-received feature of SOMI Magazine is the focus on businesses observing milestone years: 10, 20, 25 and more years here in our hometown.\u00a0 <\/span>On page 24, we single out Myra and Company, observing 40 years in South Miami.\u00a0 <\/span>Congratulations Myra!<\/p>\n

SHOP SMALL IN SOMI is not just a one-day-of-the-year campaign.\u00a0 <\/span>In each issue of\u00a0Volume XIV, SOMI Magazine will be singling out our \u201cSOMI SIX\u201d in a special two page spread.\u00a0 <\/span>Take a look at just some of the businesses that make SOMI SO SPECIAL\u00a0().<\/p>\n

October as we well know is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. \u00a0 <\/span>Here in South Miami, Hope 4 L.Y.F.E. presents the SOMI 3K Breast Cancer Walk\u00a0 <\/span>\u2013 a great event.\u00a0 <\/span>We all know someone, some family affected by the scourge of cancer.\u00a0 <\/span>Come out and support a great cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Big changes loom here in South Miami. \u00a0 <\/span>The City of South Miami is in the process of finalizing plans for the redevelopment of the City Hall campus, which will provide for residential apartments, retail and a new city administration building. \u00a0 <\/span>The South Miami electorate voted in favor of amending the city charter to provide for an absolute majority vote (4\/5) of the commission in matters dealing with increased development in the \u201ccommercial core.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>(The city charter had required a unanimous 5\/5 vote prior.)\u00a0 <\/span>The Shops at Sunset Place is getting ready to submit plans to the city for a hotel, two apartment buildings and a multifaceted \u201crevitalization\u201d of its nine-acre site.\u00a0 <\/span>The city\u2019s elected officials should embrace with open arms this $175+ million commitment of the owners and give them the four votes they need to move forward.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s time to act; this redevelopment.\u00a0 <\/span>It is critical for the life of our shopping and dining district and for the city itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the world of cycling, you\u2019ll learn about a new mountain bike trail at the Key Biscayne trails (see page 30), and catch up on the latest developments and programs of The Underline (page 38).\u00a0 <\/span>For recreational cyclists of note is the acquisition by Miami-Dade County of the FEC lines running from Dadeland to MIA getting ready for the \u201cLudlam Trail.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>SOMI Magazine will be informing our readership about this development in an upcoming issue.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about it from me.\u00a0 <\/span>Now it\u2019s your turn to BE PART OF THE CONVERSATIONsm<\/sub>.\u00a0 <\/span>Let us know your take on our magazine changes and happenings in SOMI, and please visit SOMI Magazine ONLINE at somimag.loc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
