Things To Do In Miami: Visit A Farmers’ Market
Well, normally the weather has cooled down enough by mid-December for to thoroughly enjoy the local Farmers’ Market that pop up in the fall and last through spring. Even though temperatures are still in the 80′s, head over to one of the markets for a fun day out and a chance to purchase produce straight from the farm. Many also have great gift ideas and live plants for your garden.

Smarty Dogs Spotted Throughout Pinecrest
In an earlier post I mentioned the Village of Pinecrest’s art in public places campaign to raise money for the public schools in Pinecrest. Please consider joining the other sponsors and sponsor a dog. Stay tuned for future blogs regarding Smarty Dogs and other art in public places.
Smarty Dogs To Benefit Pinecrest Schools
Smarty Dogs are popping up all over Pinecrest. It is an art in public places campaign that is being promoted to raise funds for the public schools in the Village of Pinecrest. If you or your company would like to sponsor one of the dogs, there is still time. The dogs will be auctioned off in March of 2012.

This wonderfully spacious home with a great floorplan and lots of natural light is available in north Pinecrest. In addition to being in one of the top locations in Miami-Dade County for both public and private schools, it has convenient access to shops, restaurants, the metro rail and U.S. 1.
How Walker Friendly is Your Home?
Miami just ranked 8, with a score of 72.5, in a walkability scoring of the 50 largest cities in the U.S. Having moved from San Francisco, ranked 2 with a walkability score of 84.9, I decided to check out my home’s walk score. I live in Pinecrest, a suburb, so I wasn’t too surprised to find out that my walk score was pretty dismal at 22. Not all areas of Pinecrest would score that low. If your home is in the western portion of Pinecrest, which is a lot closer to shops and U.S. 1, your home would score much higher.
Recent studies throughout the country have shown that more people want to give up commuting, and the accompanying high gas bills, and live in more walker friendly neighborhoods. So, what is your home’s walk score?
