Dimelo305 and Dade County Federal Credit Union Join Hands to Benefit Local Families |
In joining hands to help their local community, two kind and giving local businesses are lending truth to the notion that positive-minded people attract other positive people. Kendall-based Dimelo305 and Dade County Federal Credit Union (DCFCU) have been working closely over the past few months, first with a successful Thanksgiving turkey giveaway for several hundred needy families in Miami Gardens.
And in December they united once again to host a Holiday Toy Drive – but with a twist. In addition to inviting credit union members and the general public to drop off toys at DCFCU branches county-wide, they took their “drive” into the streets of Miami – by personally picking up hundreds of toy donations at local businesses and residences all across...

“Bizarre” Babirusa Born at Zoo Miami! |
Zoo Miami welcomed the birth of an endangered babirusa, the first successful birth of this species in the history of the zoo! This is the first baby for both parents, a nearly 5-year-old female named Maggie, from the St. Louis Zoo, and a nearly 5-year-old male named, Harry, from the Audubon Zoo. The sex of the newborn is still undetermined as it remains isolated with its mother in a secluded holding area.
Of the over 20 different species of wild swine in the world, the unique babirusa is considered to be one of the most bizarre looking. The word “babirusa,” means “pig deer” in the Malay language. This is believed to come from the strange appearance of males whose tusks look like antlers growing on the top of its head. Unlike other pigs, the babirusa has a set of upper tusks that grow up through the top of its face and sometimes curl all the back into its head! These upper tusks, combined with a second set on the... Read More

Infiniti QX60 Autograph AWD
Combines Luxury & Class |
Step inside the cabin and immediately you feel the luxury. The quality of the upholstery is obvious to the touch and to the eyes. You get saddle brown quilted semi-aniline leather appointed interior/black open pore ash wood trim. This is a lot of words to describe the best of the best – a caramel colored seat cover with contrast stitching and matching leather accents throughout that feel supple and durable. Pretty nice! Inside you get the 10.8-inch head up display and there are second row captain chairs with pivoting armrests and a removable second row center console to make more room. All of it adds to the sense that the cabin was thoughtfully designed to think of every option a driver and.. . Read More
