ANOTHER NEW BEGINNING<\/b><\/p>\n

Fall ushers in\u00a0 new collegiate and NFL action, premieres of TV network shows, another new iphone, school projects for kids (and parents too!) and so much more.\u00a0 And in October, we welcome the start of another volume year for your\u00a0SOMI Magazine<\/i>, our eleventh.<\/p>\n

I would like to acknowledge those retail businesses, restaurants, community 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 ten years.\u00a0 I thank you!<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m pleased to note that the magazine has also given back to many community organizations and institutions with contributed advertising and editorial space over the course of the years. It\u2019s our mission to support viable projects, organizations and institutions as best we can.<\/p>\n

As we begin Volume XI, we continue our visits to community institutions which broaden our appreciation for art, culture and our collective lives here in South Florida.\u00a0 In this issue we visit the P\u00e9rez Art Museum Miami, rising above Biscayne Bay.\u00a0 I hope you agree, PAMM is a place that you want to put on your list to see, if you haven\u2019t been before.<\/p>\n

Another feature we continue is the focus on businesses which are observing milestone years.\u00a0 In this issue, we acknowledge Town Kitchen & Bar<\/i> who are observing ten years in SOMI.\u00a0Hard to imagine a time when Plaza 57<\/i> was a vacant lot!\u00a0In subsequent issues, we\u2019ll acknowledge Jarbas Godoy of The Dog from Ipanema<\/i> and Jacques & Missy of Lucy Agnes<\/i>, both observing milestone years of 30 and 15 years respectively.\u00a0Help us with our list, if you know of others observing 10, 15, 20, 25 years or more, please let us know.<\/p>\n

Just in case you haven\u2019t gone there, SOMI Magazine<\/i> is online (www.somimag.loc).\u00a0 We\u2019ve changed that website up to make\u00a0it a more interactive tool for you to stay in touch with all\u00a0things SOMI.<\/p>\n

And we’ve got new flavors in town\u2026.\u00a0 Taste Buds of India<\/i> has opened where once was Barceloneta<\/i>, and in the seemingly forever vacated and dormant locations of Trattoria Sole<\/i> and Casa Larios<\/i>, new restaurants have emerged.\u00a0 Il Vaporetto<\/i> (Venetian water taxi) has given new life to the corner at Sunset & 59 with marine blue and white exterior.\u00a0 Casa Larios<\/i>, closed since last December now has a paper sign on the door: \u201cOpening soon.\u00a0 Casa Cuba<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a founding sponsor of Art Night South Miami, I\u2019m delighted to invite you to \u201cGet Your Art On\u201d and come on out for \u201cSOMIartwalk\u00a9.\u201d\u00a0 The eighth season begins on October 9, and is held on the second Friday of each month through March.\u00a0 Unlike other communities which have multiple art galleries and host art night events, South Miami relies on its responsive retail establishments to host artists and our tree-lined sidewalks to showcase visual and performing artists.<\/p>\n

And speaking of art, put on your calendar the 44th annual CHAMBER SOUTH Art Festival held on Sunset Drive the first weekend of November.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s about it from me.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s your turn to BE PART OF THE CONVERSATIONsm.\u00a0 Let us know what your take is on the magazine as we begin our new year, and what\u2019s happening\u00a0in \u201cSOMI\u201d for you.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the first of Volume XI, and thanks for sharing\u00a0SOMI Magazine<\/i> with friends.<\/p>\n

All the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
