Let’s Have a Debate

The SunPost co-hosted the first official debate of Miami Beach’s election season where moderators asked candidates questions from you, our readers. A few of them actually were answered.

 

NEWS

The Orange Directory

Introduction

Table of Contents

Restaurants, Bars & Clubs

Shopping & Professional Services

Health and Beauty

Real Estate

Welcome to the Orange Directory, the juicy annual business directory that pays tribute to local capitalism and free trade.

Within these pages, you’ll find lists of restaurants, bars, shops, professional services, health and beauty centers and real estate services that we have compiled since our publisher, Andrew Stark, decided in 2002 to list every business the SunPost could find in its coverage area and bold its advertisers.

Actually, dear reader, you owe us to read this section. We give you important information about news, events, politics and interesting and entertaining commentaries. You, in turn, give us, well, really nothing, since we are a free paper. So, we figure the least you can do is read this directory and go on a mad contributing-to-the-economy spree. Seriously, do you want the communists to win? Don’t believe that “we won the Cold War” crap. The fall of the Berlin Wall was just a trick. Communist cells are just waiting for the moment to strike and destroy a bonafide bourgeoisie society. That’s right, it ain’t Al-Qaeda you gotta worry about. It’s the friggin’ power-to-the-proletariat types. Ask Miami Commissioner Angel Gonzalez. He knows!

So, do yourself, and us, a favor and look through the Orange Directory. Frequent our advertisers so they can give us money. We all know that communism sucks — don’t let ’em win.
