Too much, too fast

n the last issue I kind of teased everyone with the pending news that was going to be mailed to every home and business in Miramar starting with the next issue. Well, the next issue is here and we are now reaching all of Miramar. For the first time, all of the residents in the City will be received an informative, timely, entertaining, and business driven magazine at the same time. am so thrilled that so many of the staple businesses that started with us a year ago continue to advertise in the magazine. We also added 13 new businesses to this issue. The need to advertise and promote your company is alive and well. There is a misconception that print is dead or on it’s last leg and that online is the end all be all for advertising. I say, “not so fast”, print in particular is extremely important because in many cases it becomes the trigger point for you to read, research and react. A reader sees an advertisement or something going on in the City and then follows up by going to that particular company or City website and getting more information and then hopefully becoming a customer or attending various City events. It’s also vital to hear from our key City officials. They will continue to use Inside Miramar as a resource with the intent of bringing you the information you need to know every 45 hope you take the time to read up on the great things happening in the City as well as all of the Summer Camps you will find in this issue.

Too Much Too Fast If you have driven around west Miramar and Pembroke Pines this past year or so, you can’t help but notice all of the new shopping plazas being built or under construction. All of the vacant land is disappearing right underneath our noses. I often have discussions with my friends and neighbors and the concern always comes back to, is it too much development too fast. I guess only time will tell if these plazas are successful or not. Are there enough residents to support all of this retail space, restaurants, etc.? If it’s being constructed, I want it to succeed, but sometimes I have my doubts. This is such a wonderful time to be in South Florida. The weather is perfect even though I wish we had more colder temperatures like we had a month ago. It was so refreshing opening up the windows and giving the air conditioner a break. Here’s to a longer winter and more fire pits being lit throughout South Florida the next few months. Well, it’s been three years, time to hire a new Miami Dolphins Head Coach. Welcome to Miami Coach Mc Before we know it, school will be out and summer will be here. Enjoy Daniel. I like the hire; he’s known as an offensive minded coach and maybe his skills can bring out the the spring and Mother’s Day feel to this issue of Inside Miramar in the best in Tua. It’s going to be a make-or-break year for Tua so I’m really hoping it works out for everyone city you call home. involved including the suffering Dolphins fans for the past 20 years now. As always, please support the small businesses in our community’s and especially those that use this Sincerely, medium to get their message out to you. Chris Koval Try to use the coupons that are next to most of the ads and let them know that you saw their ad in this President/Publisher magazine.
