iami has long been a destination city, and industrialist Henry Flagler recognized this quality in the late 1800s. Capitalizing on his intuition, he opened one of the first hotels in Miami, the Royal Palm Hotel, in 1897. Flagler’s hotel brought tourism, revenue, and growth to the city. Twelfth Street, which in 1921 was renamed Flagler Street, became Miami’s first main street. For decades, Flagler Street birthed numerous important sites including Miami’s first skyscraper, the Historic Alfred I. DuPont Building; Pan American and Eastern Airlines headquartered on Flagler Street. Regrettably, an influx of suburban malls during the 1970s ushered in an era of decline for Flagler Street. If not for the businesses of Cuban refugees and their patronage, the area may have passed into disrepair. Fast forward to June of 2011, See FLAGLER, page 5

Family Owned Business offers Old World Customer Service and New World Instant Gratification
BUSINESS HUB
I
By Edyna Garcia Edyna@INYBN.com
n our modern digital world, most businesses have transitioned and embraced a new business motto: quicker, faster and better. Instant satisfaction is key, and price points are typically competitive, with customer loyalty being a relic of the past. Consumers typically want to find whatever they need in the fastest, quickest and most affordable way. What is often lost, however, is that neighborly feeling of frequenting the same establishment on a regular basis and knowing the staple employees by name. This new business world often leaves us with the choice of stellar customer service or quick customer service. Rarely do we find both in one setting. International Opticians, stationed on the corner of 22nd Avenue and Coral Way, however, stands out amongst its competition, offering a speedy and reliable service, top quality eyewear, low prices and a customer service more commonly found in yesteryears. This Miami staple offers a full service, on site lab, offering surface and finishing of your lenses in exactly one hour. What’s more, the optical store offers trendy lens options from known brands such as Tom Ford, Coach, Tiffany’s & Co., and so much more, and all at reduced prices. “We like to offer the boutique frames and the boutique service but not the boutique prices,” explains International Opticians’ Vice President, Ron Pelletier. “We can cut costs here because we’ve been here for so long; all
and forging friendships with the loyal patrons. “His nickname here was the ‘Mayor of Miami’ because anyone who came in to work here knew him by first name,” Pelletier recalls with a hint of humor in his voice. Alvarez’s business philosophy was pretty straightforward: Do it right the first time. Though this expectation seemed demanding, Pelletier explains the healthy work dynamic that exists within the company, “There is no corporate feel or environment here at all; it’s a family, and everyone’s been here for so long. If someone is having a bad day or messes up, everyone understands it. It’s like when your brother or sister mess up, and you get on them because it’ll look bad on you with your parents. It’s kind of the same thing here.” Pelletier describes his employees as “lifers,” explaining that most have been working there for 30 – 40 years, including himself. He began working for the company parttime in 1986 when he was still in college. He was dating Raquel, one of Alvarez’s daughters, which is how he formed the relationship with his father-in-law. After college, Pelletier went on to marry Raquel, and Alvarez offered him a job to learn the ropes of the family business. His apprenticeship began at the lab, acquiring the skill set necessary to run the business and eventually worked his way up. “I’d been working here since 1990, started off in back, learning the grunt, the dirty work, and slowly, at the other location putting on a shirt and tie and selling the glasses, and moved into the office and learning how the small business dealt with everything,” Pel-
Lino Alvarez and Raquel Alvarez, the husband and wife duo that kick started International Opticians.
International Opticians is a staple in Miami, having held this very location for the past 48 years.

my opticians are on salary. There is no pressure sale, you’re going to get what you need.” They also offer excellent warranty plans on your lenses, giving you a year to bring in your glasses with an almost “no questions asked” policy. They simply take in your lenses and have them ready for pick-up in an hour, all at a discounted price. International Opticians opened its doors in 1968 under the direction of Lino Alvarez, a Cuban refugee who emigrated to the United States with only $10 in his pocket. He began working for an optometrist, who later sold him the business. He began running his shop with a family ambiance, working side-by-side with his wife, Raquel Alvarez. She became the office manager, responsible for overseeing the employees and making sure the backend of the business ran smoothly. Lino was the face of the company, often knowing most of whom walked in for the first time by face
letier explains. Alvarez passed away two and a half years ago, and his wife is currently ill, however, his legacy lives on through his business- now owned by his daughters, Raquel and Jacqueline, while his son-in-law manages the dayto-day operations. “He was a great guy,” Pelletier recalls fondly. “Most people talk poorly about their in-laws, but my father-in-law and mother-inlaw, they were the next closest to my parents. I loved them.” International Opticians is known for its warm hospitality and top-notch customer service, attested to by a loyal clientele and a low employee turnover. International Opticians is open MondayFriday, 9 am – 6 pm and Saturday from 9 am – 3 pm. For more information, visit http://internationalopticians.biz/ or www.Facebook.com/InternationalOpticians.

THE NEW FRONTIER
The Rebirth of Miami’s Centerpiece Street
FLAGLER, from page 1
when a group of property and business owners recognized something needed done. They organized the Flagler Street Task Force. Their mission to revitalize the commercial corridor from Biscayne Boulevard to North Miami Avenue, while still maintaining a strong connection with the area’s history echoes Henry Flagler’s original vision. “Flagler Street can be to downtown Miami what Lincoln Road has been to South Beach, a unique pedestrian attraction," says Miami Downtown Development Authority Vice-Chair and former Miami Beach Mayor Neisen Kasdin. “This renovation marks a new beginning for Miami’s historic main street, which will be become a popular promenade and gathering place for the thousands of new residents, visitors and workers in our urban core.” The renovations come, in part, from a surge in population growth. According to the Miami DDA’s 2014 demographics, residents of the area have doubled from 40,000 to 80,000 since the turn of
the millennium. In 2015, the DDA’s Q3 2015 real estate report showed that more than 90% of the over 1600 residential units built this cycle had been absorbed. The increase in population isn’t the only activity influencing the Flagler Streetscape Project; downtown Miami is emerging as a center for companies, vis-
bility by reducing automotive congestion in the area through their improvements. Brian Alonso, whose family owns La Epoca and who serves as cochair of the Miami DDA’s Flagler Street Task Force, believes the overhaul will not only increase pedestrian mobility, it will create a new pedestrian focal point
itors, and investors from around the world to enjoy the historic buildings and scenery of the area. The project aims to reinvigorate Flagler Street—which is home to the highest concentration of historic buildings in Miami—with outdoor cafes, enhanced sidewalks and crosswalks, new shade trees, and off-street valet parking. The Flagler Street Task Force hopes to enhance pedestrian mo-
for a City that is becoming increasingly urban. “Our plan for Flagler Street does three things that will restore Flagler Street’s place as Miami’s Main Street. First, we’re making the street more walkable with better sidewalks, crosswalks, and lots of shade trees. Second, we’re allowing more space for sidewalk cafes and restaurants. And lastly, we’re creating
Flagler Street Vision- E 2nd Ave.- Looking East Along Flagler
the ability to close the street to car traffic during street festivals and events.” Alonso also notes that Flagler Street isn’t the only project taking place in the area. The Brickell City Centre and Miami World Center, which are located in the surrounding area, are undergoing significant new construction. The 2025 Downtown Miami Master Plan aims to recreate, reinvent, and restore much of the city. The Flagler Streetscape Project would be the crowning jewel to Miami’s revamping. “The end result will be a neighborhood pedestrian-friendly street in the heart of the city’s premiere historic district.” The final product will take some time; as they say, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Construction began early this year and is set to be completed by 2017. The estimated budget for the project is approximately $13 million which is funded by three major sources: $1 million collected from property owners by the City of Miami’s established Special Assessment District, $6 million funded by the City, and the remaining $6 million from the Miami Dade County Building Better Communities Program.

plans, maybe something dark and moody with a hint of raspberry and pineapple, or a crisp and sweet pear-infused rosé. The other creative urge leads you to the latest exhibit of art at your local museum, where inspiration abounds as you study and appreciate the works on display, your own drive to create calling out to you, pushing you to delve into your imaginative side and produce your own pieces. So, which impulse do you follow? Does your desire to unwind with a glass in hand take you to uncorking the latest bottle of dragon fruit wine? Or do you explore the current gallery at the local museum? Thankfully, Dr. Jill Deupi, the Beaux Arts Director and Chief Curator of the University of Miami’s Lowe Art Museum, has collaborated with others at the Museum to find a way to meld the two. Their objective was to find a unique way for the South Florida community to experience and enjoy art. From their collective creativity, the Sip & Sketch series was born. “We wanted to offer visitors something more. With the Sip & Sketch series, First Friday Gallery Night participants can enjoy the Lowe’s galleries and exhibitions, and those who wish to engage in art activity can do so in the Museum’s educational pavilion, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere,” stated Dr. Deupi a propos the latest Friday night event. The First Friday Coral Gables Gallery Night tours occur, of course, on the first Friday of every month, giving locals and visitors an opportunity to stop by various galleries on the trolley route for free. With the Sip & Sketch series, participants may avail themselves of the option of participating in an interactive class and can do so with the option of two glasses of wine. Additionally, they will be completely entrenched in their own art, each hands-on with their own set of materials (provided by the Lowe), eventually producing a finished piece as the final goal for the session. Step-by-step instruction will
be provided by the Lowe’s art instructor, Jacquie Gopie, who received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Fine Art from UM and boasts a long relationship with both the Lowe Art Museum and the University of Miami. She served as a volunteer docent for the Lowe from 2005 to 2012 and is currently an adjunct professor of art at the University of Miami. “When we decided to launch the Sip & Sketch series, we reached out to Jacquie as the natural choice to lead the sessions, and she readily agreed,” said Dr. Deupi. “She has been pivotal in making sure the right set-up and necessary materials are in place so that participants enjoy an optimal experience.” Gopie is scheduled to lead each of the four Sip & Sketch sessions programmed for the first Friday in February through May. Each session will follow a different plan designed by her. The first session will focus on painting; subsequent sessions could be about collage, drawing, or another technique. Each session will run from 7 to 9 pm and is $45 (or $35 for Lowe members), which includes instructions, materials, and two glasses of wine. Please remember, participants must be 21 or older. “I am excited to launch a new program that engages visitors in a new way,” Dr. Deupi added. “The Sip & Sketch series is a fun means to learn about and experience art through active participation.” The Lowe’s inclusion in the First Friday Gallery Night tours allows art enthusiasts on the tour who are not familiar with the Lowe the chance to discover its surprisingly broad selection, and those who are familiar have the chance to discover an array of new exhibitions and programs that speak to the Lowe’s dynamism as an academic art institution. The Sip & Sketch allows for individuals to tap into their creative side, as well as a glass of vino or two.

Cuento Corto No. 13:
l primer viaje en ese tren lo hizo hace años, era el de llegada, venía sin pensar en nada, no traía equipaje, nada de nada y al bajar de la estación lo recibieron, llenos de alegría y colores, la fiesta duró días y las visitas no paraban de llegar, lo recuerda a la perfección, o más bien las imágenes que ha ido construyendo en su mente a partir de los álbumes de fotos, las tarjetas de felicitaciones y alguno que otro regalo que sobrevivió al tiempo, ahora toma en tren de partida, no es un grupo nutrido, sus padres no le acompañan, ni las tías, mucha gente se había ido antes, son más bien pocos los amigos, pero consuela decir eso de “pocos pero buenos”. No hay fiesta esta vez, más bien tristezas, todo está teñido de gris y negro, sus hijos están, uno de ellos no pudo llegar, como dolió eso antes de partir, pero así son las cosas y no hubo manera de cambiar el ticket.

Cuento Corto No. 19:
e acercó, sus ojos verdes habían recuperado ese color profundo de las esmeraldas y su misterioso brillo, de aquel tiempo en que danzaba en los restaurantes de Persia y el movimiento de su vientre, hacía soñar a más de uno, le miró con picardía, el distraído ojeaba los libros viejos que apilaban las librerías del lugar al frente de su establecimiento, le abordó diciéndole: deberías haberme conocido, cuando hacía la danza del vientre. Él la miró, un tanto sorprendido, detrás de esa cabellera blanca y escasa y esos alambres ceniza, que irrespetuosos asomaban en su barbilla, ¿qué habría?, se preguntó. Trató de adivinar una respuesta, mientras su imaginación iba dibujando la mujer que ella decía haber sido, le tomo un instante percatarse de la emoción que ella sentía, se le acercó, tomo el rostro de la anciana entre sus manos y le besó la frente, se dio la vuelta y se marchó. Iba pensando ochenta y tres años quizás, cómo irán a ser los míos, una lágrima corrió sobre su mejilla, se la secó y continuó su camino., minutos más tarde recordaba el beso que le dio a esa bailarina de ojos verdes como las esmeraldas.

“MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS” RETURNS TO THE BROWARD CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS “You’ll leave the theatre with the intent to live in harmony with your partner. Not to be missed!”–Elle Magazine
Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE! is back by popular demand at the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for Performing Arts from Wednesday, March 2- Saturday, March 6. The one-man fusion of theatre and stand-up starring Peter Story is a lighthearted theatrical comedy based on the New York Times #1 best-selling book by John Gray and moves swiftly through a series of vignettes to cover everything from dating and marriage to the bedroom. After beginning in Paris in 2007, Men are From Mars–Women are From Venus LIVE! has been seen by more than one million people around Europe and debuted in 2013 to capacity crowds in the United States. This hysterical show has couples elbowing each other all evening as they see themselves on stage. Sexy and fast paced, this show is definitely for adults, but leaves audiences laughing and giggling like little kids. Story has appeared in primetime shows on all three major networks-some of his favorite credits include CSI (directed by Quentin Tarantino), Without a Trace, Ugly Betty and recurring roles on Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show and Rob Lowe’s The Lyon’s Den. He stars opposite Steve Guttenberg in the cheesy horror film Cornered and can be seen opposite Weed’s Elizabeth Perkins in the hilarious short Le Chat Est Mort. A proud alum of the New Harmony Project and an avid storyteller, Story’s tale of how he and his wife won a dream wedding competition was featured nationally on NPR’s The Moth Radio Hour, a show featuring the country's best storytellers. Commenting on Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE!, Story said, “It's a great recipe for a night out: a little storytelling blended with some comedy and a dash of sage wisdom from the book. A delicious evening of entertainment.” When Mars and Venus collide, the adventures are earth-shatteringly hysterical.

I highly recommend you pay a visit as soon as you settle into the city. You’ll get your first taste of Chicago, with a breathtaking view of the City on one side and Lake Michigan on the other. Located at the very entrance of the Peer is none other than Giordano’s Pizza, allowing you to kick off your trip with a real taste of Chicago. Indulge in the city’s signature deep dish pizza while gazing at one of the great lakes overlooking the skyline. 2. Feast at the Purple Pig – The foodie culture is thriving in South Florida, but it can only hope to one day compare to that of the Windy City. Every restaurant you will visit will be well worth the money you will spend, especially if you are audacious with your selections. The Purple Pig is a romantic little date spot right off Magnificent Mile, complete with a panoramic view of the Chicago River and skyline. Boasting an extensive list of fine wines and tapa options, the Purple Pig transcends the category “restaurant” and establishes itself as an experience. The ambiance is quaint, relaxing, intimate and modern – think of it as an elegant gastro pub. My preferred dishes included squid stuffed with prosciutto and bread crumbs, topped with a squid ink sauce, and the braised pork shoulder. The Purple Pig is open Sunday – Thursday, 11:30 am – 12 am (kitchen closes at 12 am) and Friday & Saturday: 11:30 am – 2 am (kitchen closes at 1 am.)

ums are all worth exploring, especially when rendered so affordable through the Chicago City Pass ($96 for adults, $79 for kids). However, the Science and Industry stands out in comparison to the rest. With live tornado demonstrations, a silent movie playing on loop and a tour of the real U-505 Submarine (a German submarine captured during WWII), The Museum of Science and Industry allows you to travel through time, exploring technologies of years passed, and of years to come. Admission to the Museum, without the city pass, start at $18 for adults and $11 for kids. Museum entry does not allow access into the special exhibits and events. For more information, visit msichicago.org 4. Revert to Childhood at Headquarters Beercade – After a day of “adulting” through a new city and taking in rich cultural experiences, it’s time to kick back, have a drink and revert back to childhood, made possible through Chicago’s best kept secret: Headquarters Beercade. Recommended to me by a local, this vintage arcade offers a full bar, DJ and two stories of vintage arcade games – I’m talking Pac Man and pinball vintage. Best part is, all the games are free. With a rotating craft beer selection, hand crafted cocktails and (what’s said to be) a delicious food menu, Headquarters is the perfect place to enjoy the best of both worlds – adult life and childhood. Headquarters has an age requirement of 21+. It’s open Monday –Thursday, 5 pm – 2 am, Fridays 3 pm –2 am, Saturdays –11 am –3 am and Sundays 11 am – 2am. Headqu7arters is open 365 days a year. For more information visit hqbeercade.com 5. Ice Skate in Millennial Park – It might seem touristy, - in fact, it is the epitome of touristy – but Ice Skating at the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink is just one of those things you should do if you pay a visit to Chicago during the winter months. Complete with live music, and perfect view of the Frozen Bean and the Chicago Skyline, Ice Skating in Millennial Park can be described as magical. Though Miami has its own ice arenas, there’s something to say about skating outside, on a true winter day. The rink is full of both locals and tourists, and is complete with romantic lighting and music. Finish off the picturesque evening with a cup of hot chocolate at the on-site Park Grill Café.

Revisit your Teen Years in Atlanta, Georgia

Downtown Roswell, a historic town full of antique shops, small restaurants and history
Edyna Garcia Edyna@INYBN.com
ake on the deep South Northern style by heading out to Atlanta, Georgia. With a cool Californiameets – New York City vibe, you’ll enjoy vibrant street art, live music, and upbeat vibes during your stay. Combine that with the traditional Southern hospitality we all know and love, and you have yourself a festive time spent in good company. Of all the cities in the United States, Atlanta stands alone as one of the most youthful. With thrift shopping, cute coffee shops, plenty of outdoor activities and top-notch cuisine, you’ll find yourself re-experiencing the laxity that so often accompanies the teen years – and who doesn’t want to be 16 just one more time? You know about the Coke Factory, Sweet Water Brewery, and the Georgia Aquarium; however, Atlanta has so much more to offer outside of its tourist attractions. With so much to do in this vivacious city, here are 10 ways to make the most out of your Atlanta trip – live music, thrift shopping, bar hopping, and coffee shops included: 1. Piedmont Park – Most metropolitan cities are complete with a large park where their residents can take a break
from the concrete jungle and engage in outdoor activities. We have Tropical Park, New York has Central Park and Atlanta has Piedmont Park. The latter just does it better. Whether you are playing “human soccer” or sipping at its on-site tavern, cycling through the bike lane, or sitting with a loved one on a hill, Piedmont park attracts visitors of all walks of life and is certainly worthy of visiting. 2. Little Five Points – If you think Miami has the hipster scene down pat, then you’re in for a surprise. Little Five Points is Atlanta’s own little hipster heaven. The city itself boasts an artsy flare, and Little Five Points is where it’s truly embraced. The three block radius is replete with wall art, live musicians, indie coffee shops, boutiques, thrift stores, and of course, Atlanta’s signature burger joint….which brings me to my next point 3. The Vortex- easily the best burger joint you’ll ever visit in any of the US States. With its rock-n-roll vibe, this restaurant could care less about customer service—even their menu is rude – but somehow, that’s a part of the charm. And if the lack of etiquette – a.k.a., the polar opposite of Southern Hospitality – just doesn’t seem to fly with you, they’ll make it up to you with some of the best bar food you’ll ever
The view of one of the Atlanta Skylines from inside Piedmont Park sample. The Vortex is known for its inventive burgers and perfectly paired craft beer. If you’re a self-proclaimed foodie, this may sound a bit outplayed, but just keep in Mind that the Vortex did it first: It has been around since 1992 and has proudly maintained its smokefilled (not too intolerable for the nonsmokers) 21+ culture for the last 24 years. 4. The Highlands Bakery – Settled in this little Bohemian, shabby-chic part of town, the Highlands Bakery is Atlanta’s own little gem. Offering organic and gluten free options in its breakfast, lunch and, of course, brunch, The Highlands Bakery is a perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat or a coffee and muffin on-thego. 5. Labels – Trade up the rugged parts of ATL for a more refined experience, and head out to Buckhead – think of it as the Brickell to our Wynwood. There, you’ll find exceptional restaurants, the second ATL skyline and my personal favorite thrift shop, Labels. That’s right, you guessed it, Labels only sells, well, labels. Divided amongst a few traditional southern homes, Labels occupies an entire block that can easily take up your day, as you search through designer racks upon designer racks. With options for men, women and children, Labels is worthy of a visit.
6. Edgewood – For a night out on the town, head to Edgewood, a small bar strip located close to Midtown, that always provides a goodtime. With speakeasy, “barcades” and BBQ street-food, Edgewood is your chance to experience Atlanta as a city native. 7. Roswell – Take a break from the city life and drive 20 minutes out of Atlanta to Roswell. The historic town will take your breath away with its quaint homes, antique shops and cozy restaurant. Take the opportunity to go hiking up Vickery Creek. At the summit awaits the Roswell waterfall for you to enjoy. Plan for a picnic on the large rocks, meditation or simply the exploration of a historic dam. Whatever you choose, the experience will certainly be worthwhile. 8. Metalsome Karaoke- Unlike any other karaoke establishment you’ve frequented, Metalsome offers you the chance to feel like a real rock star, as you perform in front of at least 150 people with a full on rock-n-roll band behind you. This karaoke joint isn’t about making a fool out of yourself – it’s about having a delightful time and sounding good while you do it. The underground venue reaches full capacity; so make sure to arrive early. It can become unbearably hot, however, you’ll be having too good of a time to notice. It helps that the beers are incredibly cheap too.

His recent CD “Chopin Resonances” was singled out by Gramophone Magazine as the Editor’s Choice and was nominated for the International Classical Music Awards in France.

Flock to Tropical Audubon Society
T
International Migratory Bird Day, Saturday, March 5
he 3-acre “green island” that embodies Tropical Audubon Society and its Steinberg Nature Center will be the site of International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD) celebrations on Saturday, March 5, from noon until 4 p.m. An array of engaging educational activities for participants of all ages will mark the migration of nearly 350 species of migratory birds between non-breeding grounds in the Caribbean, South America and Mexico, and their nesting habitats in North America. Though South Florida’s shrinking Open Spaces are increasingly under threat, the region remains a prime refueling station for birds migrating on the North/South flyways between seasons. With the annual northbound “flight” poised for takeoff, TAS’s third annual IMBD will focus on those species that stop over on our peninsula, and will illustrate South Florida’s role in worldwide bird conservation. Our area’s Caribbean and Latin American human residents can also learn more about their home-country birds as they recharge here before flying north for summer. Featuring interactive games and prizes, and led by a host of bird experts, the festival is an enriching experience for families with young chil-
dren, Ecology Clubs and anyone looking for a pleasant afternoon outing. Attendees will learn why bird conservation is an imperative, and how taking a few simple steps in our own yards to create a welcoming “rest stop” will also enhance quality of life in South Florida. In addition to planned festivities, participants can purchase native plants, explore the trails that thread the grounds — comprised of a Hardwood Hammock and Pine Rockland — and also tour the 1931 Doc Thomas House, a Miami-Dade County Historic Landmark that was named to The National Register of Historic Places in 2014. International Migratory Bird Day is a FREE community event! Join us Saturday, March 5, noon-4 p.m. Tropical Audubon Society is located at 5530 Sunset Drive, 2 blocks east of the South Miami business district Parking: Limited free parking via TAS’s 55th Avenue entry gate; nearby metered parking; various garage and valet parking options within 1-3 blocks; Metrorail service to South Miami Station CONTACT: Event Chair Brother Milledge and/or Events Director Amy Creekmur events@tropicalaudubon.org

Coral Gables Community Foundation hosts Seventh Annual Tour of Kitchens fundraiser
A
mix of foodies, home-design enthusiasts, architecture admirers and fans of the City Beautiful gathered together recently for the Coral Gables Community Foundation’s Seventh Annual Tour of Kitchens. Nine of Coral Gables' finest private home kitchens opened their doors to the public and offered mouthwatering food tastings, exclusive home and kitchen items for sale and table setting displays for dining room inspiration. In addition to the homes, Astor Companies featured a sneak peek into the Merrick Manor luxury condominium development with a stop at the Merrick Manor Sales Gallery, which included Mediterranean-inspired bites and a gift bag for each guest.

CLYDE BUTCHER BRINGS “PRESERVING EDEN” PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION TO FAIRCHILD GARDEN
F
airchild Tropical Botanic Garden is pleased to announce the opening of an installation featuring works by celebrated photographer Clyde Butcher. The traveling exhibition, titled “Preserving Eden,” consists of 32 black and white photos featuring Florida’s natural landscapes and Butcher’s personal bond with the environment. The exhibition will be on view daily in Fairchild’s Adam R. Rose and Peter R. McQuillan Arts Center through Saturday, April 30, 2016, 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Each photo highlights the unmatched character and allure of natural Florida, from swamplands to pristine waters to sturdy mangroves. Areas featured include Big Cypress National Preserve, the Everglades, Apalachicola River, and Fakahatchee Strand. Butcher believes being close to nature and seeing the beauty in it is restorative. He also understands the importance of protecting it. He hopes his exhibition will
instill in viewers a connection to the environment. “You have to find a way to get through to people and let them understand the importance of nature,” Butcher says. “I feel my images create an emotion that reaches out to people and helps them see their natural surroundings in a different way that encourages them to save those wild places where peace can fill the soul.” To achieve the distinctive look of his photographs, Butcher uses large format cameras and techniques that highlight the elaborate details and textures of the unique natural areas he explores throughout Florida. The photographic prints are handmade and darkroom developed. Butcher will be the featured speaker for the Fairchild Lecture Series on Thursday, March 10 at 7:00 p.m., where he will discuss his photography and connection to nature.

The Benefits of LLC’s for Real Estate Investments
hen acquiring real estate investment properties (i.e. non-homestead property) in Florida, there are numerous entity choices available to hold such investments. The choices include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) variety of individual and joint tenancies, (b) corporate entities (including “S” Corp and “C” Corp), (c) partnerships (both General Partnerships and Limited Partnerships) and (d) various forms of trusts (including Florida land trusts). Perhaps the best and most widely utilized entity to hold Florida real estate investment property is the Limited Liability Company (“LLC”). The formation of the LLC is relatively easy and handled through a filing with the Florida Secretary of State. The key document that governs any Florida LLC is the operating agreement- a private document that, among other things, sets forth the “Manager(s)” and the “Member(s)” of the LLC. The Manager(s) essentially manages the entity/investment (and can be an unrelated third party), while the Members are the owners of the entity/investment. While the State of Florida requires that the Manager(s) be publicly disclosed when filing for the LLC, the Members are not necessarily disclosed, assuming an unrelated third party is appointed as the Manager, and as such are not made public. This privacy element appeals to many real estate investors. A Limited Liability Company is essentially a hybrid of a Florida corporation and partnership. If the entity is a multi-member LLC, they are treated as a corporation for liability purposes. If an event resulting in liability occurs at the property, the LLC is typically sued and any resulting judgment would be against the LLC (not the individual Members). On the other hand, if the LLC has more than one member then creditors of an individual member cannot reach the assets of the LLC to satisfy any individual judgment against the individual Member. The creditor would be limited to seeking to recover against the debtor/members’ rights to profits as opposed to the assets of the LLC. As such, LLC’s pro-
vide a level of asset/liability protection for the Members. Although some real estate investors purchasing property in their individual names elect to rely solely on liability insurance, there can be risks associated with this approach. Liability policies have exceptions and dollar limits that may not wholly protect Members from the consequences of litigation. By combining the use of liability insurance with the use of a LLC, the individual enjoys an added layer of protection. Further, many investors rightly choose to use separate LLC’s for each property acquired in order to limit the possibility that an incident occurring on one property exposes another property to potential liability. Florida LLC’s are treated as partnerships for income tax purposes. As such, they offer passthrough taxation benefits. In other words, the entities are not subject to double taxation. Rather, the distributions are only taxable to the individual members at their individual tax rates. Additional benefits of LLC’s include the fact that foreign ownership in Florida real estate is allowed through LLC’s and transferring ownership in real estate investments can easily be accomplished via gifting and/or assignment of membership units in the LLC. Such gifting and/or assignments of membership units can be accomplished without having to execute and record a new deed, thus allowing property owners to only pay transfer and recording taxes and fees relating to the original transaction. In order to maintain the liability protections outlined herein, Florida law requires that LLC’s observe required corporate formalities including maintaining sufficient company records and, for instance, conducting meetings as set forth in the operating agreement.
