UPDATE: On Friday night, the Kansas City Police Department said that Christopher Stiggers was found and is safe!
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Family and friends of a missing Kansas City man are desperate for clues in his disappearance. Christopher Stiggers, 26, has not been seen or heard from since Monday, July 3.
Friday, volunteers with the AdHoc Group Against Crime organized a search of the neighborhood where he was last seen, near the Green Leaf Apartments on the city's east side.
"This is not my nephew," said Darlene Butler, Chris' aunt.
Butler says her family is close. Her nephew still lives with his mom, and has never been missing, until now.
"He has two phones on him and both phones are not on. And if he has two phones, he'd be in contact with somebody on one of those. And he also has a Facebook page, and he has not been on it," said Butler.
Stiggers and his cousin went to visit friends at the Green Leaf Apartments at 12th & Hardesty Sunday night. Chris asked to borrow his cousin's phone, went outside, and said he'd be right back. But he's not been seen or heard from since.
"Somebody would've heard from him by now, because he's a close knit family member. He's always getting in contact with somebody," said Butler.
The family is so concerned, a missing persons report is now on file with Kansas City police. Those who know and love Chris, are growing more fearful with every hour, every day.
"The hardest thing is thinking if something bad happened to him, and he can't call. We just want to know, where is he at? That's all the family wants to know," said Butler.

Sonic batons at the ready: BBC Worldwide North America has announced that they will be bringing the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular to New York.
The live musical event, which premiered in Australia and will be touring the U.K. during May, will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Wednesday, October 7, 2015.
Peter Davison is stepping back from his duties as host, so Doctor Who's very own Missy, Michelle Gomez, will be the master of ceremonies. Or should that be mistress?
Michelle said: "I was a big fan of Doctor Who before I joined the cast, and I love Murray Gold's powerful and emotional soundtracks for the series.
"I'm so excited to be presenting the first-ever American performances, and to be doing this in the city that has become my home. I can't wait 'til this fall to see how the amazing U.S. audience reacts to the show being staged in the Big Apple. I'm honored to be a part of it."
The show will feature over 100 musicians and singers following the lead of conductor Ben Foster (The Theory of Everything) and will feature Gold's award-winning music. There will also be appearances from some of the Doctor's greatest foes, including the Daleks, Cybermen, Judoon, Whispermen, and more.
Tickets go on general sale at 10 am Friday, May 8, 2015, but check in with us on Tuesday to get access to the pre-sale link in our 'Doctor Who's Day Roundup.

Well, I wonder why? I was going to call Jeff Ackerman to find out but I thought I would wait to see what they are actually doing to do. I know the comments section became a quagmire by leftwingnuts who constantly attacked anyone of a conservative bent. Many of the comments were simply vile and the webmaster there removed some, mostly those from conservatives I have been told. The lefty's were given a lot of leeway apparently but maybe a sane person finally took charge and a new format would be appreciated by many. Maybe a person should use their real name. The lefty's hide behind their monikers and trashed conservative commenter and the country. Then they whine a lot. Sort of like three year olds do. Well if they go back on line allowing comments, look for nuts like Lucas, Berner, NC_guy and other nuts to start up again. Hopefully the webmaster will take them off. I do like reading the comments tough, I have learned a few things and had other things confirmed. In my view the lefty commenter's are a good example of the takers of society and the conservatives are the makers. I like the comments by Reading, Woodsy 2.1 and Dirtmover among some of the sensible people.
Update: It has come to my attention the infamous bigmouth leftwingnut from the Unions comment section is allegedly, Brad Glasse. He is a smart mouth liberal in the classic sense. I have bested the fool many times here and other places. Also, it appears Steve Frisch is back at his childishness attacking conservatives again. Won't he ever learn how uneducated he appears? Oh well, liberals are just great in their own minds, but with these two lovelies as liberal examples is it any wonder the country is rejecting them? LOL. Oh, and it appears a few of the leftwingnuts from the Union have moved over to Jeffy Pelline's blog which is a good fit. Keep the whackos in one place, easier to keep track of.
I see more whackos from the left are exposing themselves on JeffyP's leftwingnut blog. A Gene Fedor and a Annie Fox are now letting us all know how looney these lefty's are. Keep it going, this is fun.

2000 Fiat Dakota Quad Cab
Hi, all!
My name is Tom, and I own a 2000 Fiat (was Dodge) Dakota Quad Cab. I am looking to make it more fuel efficient, as it is my daily driver.
I guess I need to post 5 threads before I can post pictures, so...
Here is a picture of my handiwork to date. I started building this thing back on Columbus Day, and I got the inspiration from this very board.
Side view, right-hand side
Side view, front facing rear
Rear view
I used Owens-Corning FoamulaR 1 inch boards for the frame, and 1/4 inch FoamulaR sheeting for the skin. I got a gain of 1 MPG with it so far, and would have gotten more if I hadn't been so heavy with the gas foot.
I would like to coat it with something to protect it against the elements. Any ideas?
Yeah nice shape. Get some fiberglass cloth. a gallon kit of epoxy. Fiberglass , Epoxy , Composites, Carbon Fiber - U.S. Composites, Inc. or other supplier.
Lightly spray the pink board with super 77 spray and lay on a layer of dry fiberglass. I would do it in pieces. Mix your epoxy and paint it on the fiberglass cloth which is glued to the pink board. You can tell that the layer is wet out when the fiberglass cloth becomes clear. Use disposable brushes. Consider covering the wet layup with strips of rip stop nylon particularly over seams.
Once cured the rip stop can be peeled off and you have an ideal surface for a secondary layup.
I would do a single layer at a time to lessen warpage. Make sure that you have the fairing taped down. Duct tape is an excellent mold release.
It seems highly flexible, which of the Foamular products is it ?
Strong Daytona prototype/closed coupe genes. Their regulation wide windshields & high metal roll cages, instead of expensive composite tubs, necessitated cleaner fastback tapers.
Still, a very aggressive aero look. Nice.
Thanks for all of the info and props. I will experiment with the fiberglass once I receive it.
The frame was made from 3 each Owens Corning FoamulaR F150 1" x 48" x 96" tongue and groove foam sheets. The skin was made from 1 each FoamulaR 1/4" by 48" by 50 foot fanfold foam sheeting. I still have some of each type of material left over (about 1/2 of the fanfold sheeting) left.
The fastback style was dictated mostly by the side shaping of the quad cab itself. I had originally planned for a cover that looked like what was in the Naval Post-Grad School paper I found on this board, but I then made a closer inspection of the sides of the cab, and discovered that the sides of the cab tapered inward at about a 20 degree angle. It was a bit of a challenge to get the correct shapes for the ribs, and I ended up using an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the rough width/height for each rib.
Welcome to ecomodder Tom. I may have to try your idea on my F-150.

Hopes for opening of Longford family resource centre rekindled
Little Einsteins/MacEoin Park Community Childcare closed its doors over two years ago.
Children's Minister Katherine Zappone is to hold fresh talks with Tusla in a bid to bring a new family resource centre to Longford town.
The Independent Dublin South West TD has committed to re-opening negotiations with the State's Child and Family Agency following repeated calls at local political level.
Among those leading that charge has been Longford Municipal District Cathaoirleach Cllr Mae Sexton.
The former TD has made no secret of her frustration over an issue that has dogged a controversy for close to two years.
Now, it would appear a breakthrough could be in the offing after the affair was raised in the Dail by Fianna Fáil Longford-Westmeath TD Robert Troy.
ALSO READ: Tusla under fire over lack of Longford family resource centre
In a lengthy address, Mr Troy hit out at a Departmental decision back in March which failed to include Longford alongside 11 other locations selected nationally for new centres.
"It is unfortunate that a multi-agency application submitted by Attic Youth Cafe, Longford Community Resources Limited, LCRL, Longford County Council, Longford County Childcare, Barnardos and Longford Women's Link was refused," he said.
"I believe it scored very well and passed all the procedures and process within Tusla and I am told that the only reason it was refused is because there were not enough additional resources to meet their application."
Mr Troy was at pains to also touch on the continued lack of a childcare facility in one of Longford town's most deprived areas, MacEoin Park.
The Leader broke news in March 2016 of how parents had been informed by Pobal officials of the closure of Little Einsteins/MacEoin Park Community Childcare facility over viability concerns.
Despite repeated efforts to re-open the service, one of which included an approach by leading children's charity, Barnardo's, no progress has been forthcoming.
Mr Troy paid tribute to the work carried out by Longford County Council in bringing close to 20 houses within the immediate area back into use, adding the time had come for government bosses to step in and restore childcare provision to the area.
"Now that we have more people living in the area we need the services in that area to support the people living in it," he said.
"By depriving this area, we are not giving the children of this area the adequate start in life they deserve.
"Whether or not someone gets a good start in life should not be based on their geographical area."
In response, Ms Zappone said her Department were making "strenuous efforts" to re-establish the service there.
And, in an effort to follow through on those endeavours, Ms Zappone pledged to holding fresh talks with various state agencies over the issue.
"I have committed to having a meeting with Tusla to take a look at Tusla's understanding of some of the issues along with Longford County Childcare Committee and my officials as the next step to see if we can get moving on this in terms of responding and re-establishing the service as a next step," she said.

Police: Erlanger bank robber tried to rob nearby gas station
Both incidents happened on Dixie Highway
Erlanger police said a Tuesday morning attempted robbery and a Monday afternoon bank robbery are connected.
Just after midnight Tuesday morning, officials said a man tried to rob a Circle K gas station on Dixie Highway. Officials said the robber did not get any cash and did not show a weapon.
Police said they believe the same man robbed BB&T Bank in the 3100 block of Dixie Highway hours before the attempted robbery.
The bank robbery happened around 4 p.m. Monday. Officials said that a man entered the bank and handed the teller a note, demanding money. Bank employees said they did not see a weapon.
The man ran from the bank with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police have described the robber as a white man in his mid-20s to early 30s. He had a thin build and light complexion. Officials said he had a red goatee.
The man was last seen wearing black-framed sunglasses, a black leather jacket over a hooded sweatshirt and light-colored blue jeans.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Erlanger Police Department at 859-727-2424.

January 17, 2014 podcastsTop
Due to the holiday break, we haven't recorded a new podcast in a month, but the movies haven't exactly stopped provoking conversation in our absence. In fact, there's so much to talk about that we decided to forego our usual game and 30 Seconds To Sell segments just to get to a larger fraction of the topics we had in mind. We start the new year with an argument between podcast hosts Scott Tobias and Tasha Robinson, who tend to disagree a lot, but rarely as fervently as they do on Martin Scorsese's The Wolf Of Wall Street. From there, an advertisement promoting Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit as "From The Director Of Thor" has us wondering about directors like Kenneth Branagh, whose career seemed to promise one thing, but delivered something else entirely. And finally, we share what movies, new and old, we watched over the holiday break and offer some good recommendations.

Research and Comparing the New KIA Sportage Made Easy!
Interested in the new KIA Sportage? Then you've come to the right place because we have numerous resources available for you on the Gerald KIA of Naperville site. As you will learn by reading our research and comparison pages, this new KIA SUV delivers a fantastic driving experience. For your convenience, we have summarized the high-points you can look forward to with this model.
Two Engine Options — Whether you prefer more power or more efficiency, you will have no trouble finding the KIA Sportage that satisfies your needs because there are different configurations offered with its lineup. For instance, there are 2 engines offered including 2.4L and 2.0L Turbocharged options. They produce 181 and 240 horsepower, respectively. However, both are coupled as a standard with an Electronically Controlled 6-Speed Automatic Transmission unit. With the right combination, you will see fuel efficiency ratings of up to 23 city, 30 highway, and even 26 combined MPG.
Available All-Wheel Drive System — Front-wheel drive is the basic driveline for this new KIA SUV, but to accommodate those who prefer better traction, a Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive System is accessible as an upgrade. With this component, you will have better handling and control out on the road, even when conditions are challenging due to rain, snow, and other types of inclement weather patterns.
Compact but Spacious — Despite its classification as a compact SUV, the new KIA Sportage offers ample room. In fact, you can store up to 30.7 or 60.1 cubic feet of cargo depending on whether you have the rear seats raised or lowered. That means you can accommodate more passengers or luggage to your liking just by adapting the interior.
Affordable — To top it all off, the new KIA Sportage is now for sale and lease for an affordable price. Thanks to such a reasonable cost, even those on a budget can enjoy a higher caliber performance.
These are only a few of its benefits. Want to learn more? Then stop by our KIA dealership in Naperville, Illinois, for a test drive. A closer look at what it can do and all that it has to offer will give you a better perspective as to the joy you can look forward to with the possession of this new KIA car.

Dear Informers, I need your help and advice: Is it possible to burn a DVD with VLC media player? How can this be done if possible?
As the name indicates, VLC Media Player is used to play multimedia files. There is no function within the application that allows you to create a DVD with the files you already have. For that operation I recommend choosing a dedicated burning solution. For example, IMGBurn cam burn files to your DVD or if you want something advanced, then Ashampoo Burning Studio is something you can use.

After leading the Flames to a Big South title and an NCAA Regional appearance, Liberty's Ervin Chang and Mickey DeMorat have been named to the 2018 PING All-Region team.
The pair were two of 25 golfers named to the Division I PING All-Region East team. In total, 154 golfers were named to the six All-Region teams, announced by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA).
Liberty has placed at least one player on the PING All-Region team each year since 2010 and has had 13 total all-region honorees since 2008.
Chang and DeMorat paced Liberty during the 2017-18 season in stroke average and were both named to the All-Big South first team.
DeMorat finished off his senior year posting a 72.00 season stroke average, while recording four top-10 finishes and a team best three top-five finishes. The senior finished his Liberty career with a 72.28 stroke average, the second-best mark in program history.
The native of Merritt Island, Fla., played 17 of his 39 rounds at par or better during the season (43.6 percent). He posted under-par tournament totals five times, including a 7-under par 209 for a runner-up finish at the Big South Men's Golf Championship and a 4-under par 209 for a 17th-place showing at the NCAA Raleigh Regional.
Chang nearly improved his season stroke average by four shots over his freshman year with a 72.15 season stroke average (3.85 stroke improvement) and paced the Flames with six top-10 finishes.
The native of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, played 20 of his 39 rounds at par or better this season (51.3 percent). He posted an under-par tournament total in four events during his sophomore season, including a 6-under par 204 at the Sea Best Invitational, an event he claimed medalist honors after winning the tournament in a one-hole playoff.
Chang and DeMorat helped the Flames capture the program's fifth Big South title in the last eight years in April. Liberty won the conference championship by a 19-stroke margin of victory over second-place Campbell.
The conference title sent the Flames into NCAA Regional play for the ninth time in program history and the seventh time in the last eight seasons. Entering the NCAA Raleigh Regional, Liberty was ranked No. 40 in the Golfstat.com national rankings.

Following a question about the messianic Sabbath that some are suggesting is correct, I wrote this to a friend:
I think we have to be careful here. If we are not careful we put the WHOLE body of Christ under judgement, under a curse because we could say the WHOLE body of Christ is in error. This is clearly not true. The Sabbath (the 7th day) is the observance of the OT day of rest. And yes, it hasn't been repealed - but don't forget - WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, WE ARE UNDER GRACE. If the Love that we have for our Lord revealed in our hearts says that we are to rest from our labours on the 7th day, so be it, but we are to do it in Love for Him. If the body of Christ meets on the 1st day (for whatever reason) and has made that day HOLY, and God comes in power and we feel His presence in the worship on the 1st day how can we condemn it? Do we tell 99.9% of the church - the BRIDE of Christ - you've got it wrong? Do we tell God that He should minister to His people on a Sunday because that's not the right day? We have already agreed that the "worship" on the 1st day is in many ways, and for many people, not a day of rest! So perhaps we come down to the fact, we as part of that Body of Christ, that Bride of Christ, should worship with the rest of the saints on the 1st day, and if we so believe in our hearts (not just our minds) that we must have a day of rest on the seventh day - great!
However, the foundation I get down to, is very similar to that short message that I forwarded to you - where is our heart? Is our heart fervently, joyfully, expectantly, urgently, awaiting the Lord's return? Do we feel the imminence? Or have we said, "Well you're not coming back today so I know I can get the oil for my lamp tomorrow" ? There were a number of things that were coming to me throughout the day, and I think this applies to all of us.

Home Blog Keys to the Perfect Mobile Website
Simplify Your Design
The small screen size of mobile browsers demands a different approach than desktop website design. Clear, simple designs work best, preferably in a single column, as most users don't want to be scrolling sideways across a page as well as up and down. Pages should not be cluttered or crammed with too much information. The use of white space can help achieve a clean, unfussy look and make your mobile-optimized site clearer and more navigable. Take notice of now nicely our mobile virtual tours load!
Optimize Your Content
Almost invariably, they don't want to read a lengthy mission statement, detailed staff biographies, or learn that you're a great equal opportunities employer. By all means include links to the full version of your website where you can cram in as much information as you like. When thinking of mobile usage, however, think primarily of functionality.
Make Navigation Easier Users do not want to be clicking through numerous pages and it's usually best to put the most important information and functions on the opening page where possible.
When other pages do have to be accessed you should make the process of navigation as simple as possible. Don't forget that the small screen size of mobile browsers is not ideally suited for clicking on small items. Many mobile devices use a finger as the primary input device and this can be considerably less accurate than a mouse cursor when it comes to clicking the correct button or link. Clearly marked, reasonably large buttons are generally far better than tiny hotspots, clickable images, or embedded text links. Similarly, it can be useful if you minimize the amount of text a visitor has to enter in order to achieve her goal. Using dropdown menus, checklists, and pre-populated fields as a means of data entry can all help minimize the amount of typing a visitor has to do on a small handheld keyboard and streamline the visit. Minimize Load Times If you've already simplified your design, that will also reduce load times but there are a number of additional things to bear in mind. Flash might be great for regular websites, but too much animation can have a major effect on load times. Not to mention the fact that Apple products do not support Flash at all – a big deal considering the iPhone is 30 percent of the smartphone market. Java can also be a huge drag on load times. It's often better to simply do away with animations and automatically-starting video and audio effects altogether.
Large, high-resolution images can also affect load times. Consider whether all your images are necessary. Do they add anything essential or are they just decorative? Ensure any images you do use are sized and optimized for the mobile format. Our HTML 5 mobile virtual tours do exactly this. When a user is on a mobile device we serve up a mobile version of our presentation using smaller images, smaller videos and so on and so forth. This keep our HTML 5 virtual tour load times down across mobile platforms.
Make Your Brand RecognizableYour mobile-optimized site is likely to be considerably different to your regular site, but a customer who visits both should still feel they stem from the same source. Logos, tone of content, and other branding elements should carry over from one site to the other. This will help to make a strong impression on new visitors and add a sense of familiarity to repeat customers – the single most important asset a business can have.

Tips to Convert Transaction Data from MYOB to QuickBooks Conversion
Once you decide to Migrate MYOB to QuickBooks and have all the files set up, the next thing you need to do is transfer your previous Accounting data into the software. One of the first things that you should do is create a backup from until today. If in case something goes wrong, you do not want the data to be damaged. Once the data is backed up, you would need to export all the transactions from the MYOB to text files. This can be done by selecting "File" and then choosing "Export Data." You would get a list of all the types of transactions, choose the ones you wish to transfer.
You can convert both transactions as well as general entries. Along with that, you would be able to export accounts receivable like Item Sales. Money Received, Service Sales, Misc. Sales, Professional Sales, and time billing sales. If we look at the accounts payable, you would be able to convert purchases, money spent, services purchased, misc, purchased, item purchases, and professional investments.
Once this data is transferred to a text format, then it needs to be exported to excel and tidied up a bit. Once you have everything in order, it is ready to be imported into your newly installed QuickBooks software. Once you completed conversion services from MYOB to Quickbooks conversion, then you can continue with Quickbooks Accounting Services who can help you in manage complete business financial services.
MYOB to QuickBooks Conversion:
We can Convert the following MYOB lists and transactions to QuickBooks Online, Premier, or Pro QuickBooks Editions.
- MYOB Client List to QuickBooks
- MYOB Employee List to QuickBooks
- MYOB Vendor List to QuickBooks
- MYOB Item List to QuickBooks
- MYOB Chart of Accounts to QuickBooks Chart of Accounts Conversion
QuickBooks Transaction Types Conversion:
- MYOB Invoices to QuickBooks
- MYOB Sales Receipts to QuickBooks
- MYOB Vendor Credits to QuickBooks
- MYOB Credit Card Charges to QuickBooks
- MYOB Item Receipts to QuickBooks
If the data that you wish to transfer spans over a few years, it would be advisable to break it in chunks of a few weeks. Since this is an extremely time-consuming process, you can take the help of outsourcing partners like My Accounts Consultant. My Accounts consultant will help you arrange the data as you want, along with it would also train you on how making the most efficient use of the Accounting software at the most affordable cost!

Impulsively unsentimental
Ticket stubs. Clothes. Cards. Jewelry.
I am not a hoarder. Thankfully. I put meaning on few things. And none of those things are, like, my empty water bottles or every catalog I have ever received. My house isn't overtaken by things. But they're there. In a box. In a drawer. The things exist.
A few weeks ago -- the Sunday before Thanksgiving -- I was impulsively unsentimental.
It was late on Sunday night. It was cold and dreary and ugly. I was putting away laundry and, at the bottom of a drawer, were a few pieces of clothing that I had tucked away when I should have given them away.
My feelings on all of it had changed.
What was in the bottom of that drawer wasn't memories, it was clutter. It was taking up valuable space in my house and in my mind and in my heart and it needed to go. It needed to go right away.
Instead of being tossed amongst other things in my pile of things to donate, I got in my car, I drove to one of those not-actually-a-charity-but-posing-as-one donation bins that is a few blocks from my house and I dumped it. Gone. Out of sight. Out of mind. Out of my heart. Out of my life.
And I've done it a few times since then. I'll remember something as I'm getting ready for work in the morning and I'll run to wherever I've squirreled it away and it goes straight out to the garbage. I tear pages out of journals and destroy them.
I have no room. I have no space for it anymore. In my house. In my head. In my heart.
I must be making room for something.
Or someone.
I wonder what.

Oh you are so brave! I am still holding onto some if things and wonder if I'll ever part with them? But I like your notion that perhaps you must in irder to make room for someone else. Inspiring!
so brave. so smart. so wonderful.

I love the idea that you pose - making room for someone else! I'm trying to follow this advice and clear out some clutter too, especially with Christmas around the corner!

I'm the opposite of a hoarder, I love throwing things away! I get such satisfaction from getting rid of stuff I don't need or use. But I'm also weird and buy one roll of paper towels at a time because I don't want to store the extras... I'll chalk it up to my car-less city life than my own insanity.
The good thing is, you're preserving so much of your life in virtual blog form, all the things that matter. The rest is just 'stuff' :)

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Spitfires Has Windsor Talking
by Paul on 05/02/09 at 10:21 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Michael Grange of the Globe and Mail,
There's a party going on outside the Windsor Spitfires' crisp new arena, with music and beer and chants of "Go Spits Go."
The celebration carries on inside. The Spitfires are in the Ontario Hockey League final, on a roll that has them favoured to reach the Memorial Cup for the first time in 21 years, and for three periods of hockey at least, life is good in Windsor.
Afterward, not so much.
"People have a lot on their minds right now," says Rick Young, whose son Harry is the Spitfires' captain, a rugged defenceman playing major junior in his hometown. "People are worried about their jobs, about their pensions. You go to a Spitfires game or you talk about hockey, and it's a relief."

Less than 5 miles from your Yard 8 home, you'll experience a journey into Little Havana and a street known as Calle Ocho. Jam packed with cultural opportunities, Calle Ocho is perfect for a special night out, a Saturday afternoon with family or friends, or a quick stop for an ice cream or cafecito any day! You won't want to miss the sights, sounds, and flavors on this famous street just west of downtown Miami.
The People
At the corner of SW 15th Avenue and SW Eighth Street you'll find Maximo Gomez Park, fondly known as Domino Park after the favorite game played here by the local Cuban men (women now play their favorites, Canasta and Continental). Since 1976, this has been the popular spot for locals to meet, socialize, and, of course, compete. A great way to begin your journey on Calle Ocho? Start with a cafecito or Cuban cigar in the shade, watch a game, and if you're lucky, join in!
Colorful Roosters? Sure!
You can't miss the rooster sculptures as you stroll down SW Eighth Street. Just the beginning of the colorful artistry that is Calle Ocho in Little Havana, these Cuban mascots came about in 2002 and are now staples in the neighborhood. The emphasis on color continues at La Isla, where you check out artist Eliott Prada's Smoking Roosters and Cuban Einstein pieces. Walk east, less than a block, and you'll find yourself at Cubaocho Museum & Performing Arts Center. Take in this museum's historical Cuban art in the day and come back in the evening and dance to a local orquesta or hot Cuban drumbeat. Turn left on your way out of the museum and walk across El Paseo de las Estrellas. Keep your eye out for Cuban stars like Celia Cruz, Julio Iglesias, Gloria Estefan, and Thalia.
El Sabor
When your appetite takes over, you won't have to look far on Calle Ocho! Stop and cool off with a scoop of El Mani Loco, Platano Maduro, or Guarapiña at Azucar Ice Cream Company. For the best Cuban comfort food, stop in El Rey de las Fritas and try the original Cuban hamburger. Exactly what is in that sauce? Who knows, but it's delicioso! For more Cuban specialties and a menu that goes on and on, catch the No. 8 bus on SW Seventh Street to Versailles. Since 1971, this has been the happening place for politicians to gather and discuss local and Cuban issues. If you want to experience the food and get a feel for the political scene, this is the place for you. Cap off your evening on Calle Ocho at Ball & Chain. Belly up to the bar for some chicharrones with chipotle aioli and a Calle Ocho Old Fashioned while you listen to the rhythm of live salsa or jazz.
¡Chao pescao! For more tips on places to visit in your neighborhood, check out our Yard 8 blog.
