The City of Miami Police Department’s Neighborhood Resource Officers have been by our offices detailing the services they can provide our residents.
These two officers, Officer Wanda J. Mendez and Officer Jeff Glasko, will be on site for a special Venetia Town Hall meeting on June 18th, 2008 at 7:30PM.
This will be a great forum to discuss issues and concerns regarding our neighborhood and our property. These officers are always available to assist local residents, you can contact them by phone at 305-579-6592; or by cell at 786-285-9407. Probably most convenient for non-emergency situations is to send an email to wanda.mendez@miami-police.org
After moving into the Omni neighborhood about two months ago, I started to feed my daily desire for a breakfast from BurgerKing. Nothing better than a Croissanwich. Plus, Checkers have never been local to me and their spiced up fries are great every now and then.
My first Saturday morning breakfast at BK I nearly got more than I bargained for. Seeing a young gentleman counting pennies on a table, minding his own business, as I left the restaurant, I felt compelled to buy him breakfast, so I approached and presented a $5 bill for breakfast. But that seemingly wasn’t what they really need — they needed their ‘fix’ of heroin for the morning and inquiried if I’d like to ‘do something’ so he could make some additional money to feed his need. Um, sorry.
The Checkers is a great open-air restaurant where they serve from their little building and have a nice area to eat. Nice, aside from the fact that it is hosted by an older homeless man who collects cardboard boxes and plastic “super size” cups in boxes in the Checkers eating area. He is there 24/7, like security on patrol. Read more…
