July 4th weekend saw the premier of MyGayRadio.com, a dance music website that is broadcast from South Florida. Over the long 4th, MyGayRadio broadcast the music played at Living Room, The Manor, Rosie’s and the Gay Tea Cruise.

The response to the music station was extremely positive, with thousands of visitors tuning in from all over the country and Europe.

The ‘Quiet’ Dog Days of Summer Are Here

Nothing new but the dog days of summer have arrived. Hot, humid, rainy afternoons. It occurs every year. Us locals are used to it and bide our time in our gardens, BBQ weekends, a few happy hours during the week and maybe a soiree into the evening on a weekend. Welcome to summer in South Florida. July 4th weekend in South Florida saw a relaxed three-day weekend. There were lots of outdoor events. Beaches from Miami to West Palm Beach were blanket to blanket. Our guest accommodations were busy. From what I could see, most of our entertainment venues were busy, as well as eating out spots. Our next threeday weekend comes in September for Labor Day.

Short Takes

• We understand that two, well heeled, businessmen are after a well established business on Wilton Drive! It’s turned into a bidding war between the two giants who don’t like to lose. The establishment in question is selling property and business…
• The Wine Cellar on Oakland Park Boulevard has closed. The popular restaurant that featured German cuisine was under the ownership of Billy Sands, who also operates the Diner by the Sea in Lauderdale by the Sea. Sands said he closed the restaurant in order to take the summer off, but will reopen The Wine Cellar at a new location come Fall.
• Sean David beaming over customer response to the recently opened Johnny’s Miami in Miami’s upcoming entertainment district. “We are doing extremely well, one of the best things I’ve done,” he says.
• The Oakland Park City Commissioner, Jed Shank, is getting some heat from the gay community for his vote against a City Proclamation honoring Gay Pride week, concurrent with the recent Stonewall Street Festival. The proclamation passed on a vote of 4 to 1. Shank said he supports Broward’s gay community, but voted against the proclamation because the commissioners did not, also, offer a proclamation honoring Father’s Day. Why he didn’t offer a proclamation for Father’s Day is the big question.

Thanks for picking us up this week and remember: To have a friend, you must first be a friend.
