Thanksgiving Parties in Miami

Thanksgiving is this Thursday!  By now you've probably already purchased everything you plan to prepare to celebrate the big holiday and are getting ready to cook a host of tasty meals.  While most people are busy preparing and getting those last minute ingredients, the Thanksgiving festivities in Miami don't stop with just the traditional meal.  There are plenty of parties going on where you can burn some calories before and after getting stuffed.

The 13th Annual 80s Prom is on Wednesday, November 25th at Electric Pickle.  Everything about the event is themed to the decade where wild hair and neon were the norms.  For $15 attendees enjoy a variety of music in genres like freestyle and new wave and there is also a prom photo booth plus $5 punch.

If the 80s aren't your thing, the Rock 'n' Wobble Before the Gobble Gobble also takes place on Wednesday at Sidebar 9pm with music provided by DJ Ethics and Blaze Carreras.  Details of what's involved are scarce but expect to enjoy great music, dancing, drinks, and a great time with your friends or family.

After you've had your Thanksgiving meal head over to Churchill's Pub and experience Camp Chippewa: Thanxgiving for All.  The shenanigans start at 9pm and it's sure to be a great way to end the holiday.

Remembering the Victims of the Paris Attacks

Most of the major headlines lately have been about last week's attacks in the city of Paris, France.  A group of terrorists coordinated a series of attacks involving bombings, hostage taking and mass shootings, resulting in the loss of more than 100 lives and over 400 people injured.  The attacks are among the deadliest in France since World War II.

Although the loss is significant, the response around the world to the attacks has shown that despite the brutality, people remain united and supportive.  Many countries have rallied support for France, and in the United States social media has been ablaze with messages of love, support, optimism, strength, and solidarity.  On Facebook, thousands of users have done their small part to show their support by changing their profile picture to that of the French flag.  The hashtags #PrayforParis and #JeSuisParis (French for “I am Paris”) have also been trending.

THERAPY-IV stands united with the people of France and remembers each and every one of the innocent lives lost during these attacks.  Stay strong.

Veterans Day Events

Today is Veterans Day, when we take the time to honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.  Unlike Memorial Day, which honors the men and women who gave their lives and perished during service, Veterans Day is a celebration of the services provided by all U.S. military veterans.  Formerly known as Armistice Day, it was President Woodrow Wilson who named November 11th the holiday, proudly proclaiming “...solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory….”

Several events are happening in South Florida in remembrance of Veterans Day, starting with the annual Aventura Salutes America's Veterans.  Local veterans share their personal stories, and there are also patriotic performances by the Aventura City of Excellence School.

The Miami Beach Veterans Day Parade has been a city mainstay for over 45 years, spearheaded by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion.  Businesses, students, organizations, military groups, and public schools come together to walk from 17th Street all the way to Flamingo Park Baseball Stadium where a wreath ceremony is held.

Great Florida Fishing Spots This Week

Have you booked your deep sea charter fishing boat experience yet?  Florida is seeing lots of great activity lately, and with the lower temperatures it's worth getting out onto the open seas, practicing your fishing skills and finding where most of the activity is taking place.  Let's see where all of the activity is happening.

The coast to the north of the Florida Bay boat ramp has been seeing a considerable amount of snook and redfish activity and may be one of your best bets.  Tarpon, sea trout and tripletail are also spending a lot of time in this area, allowing for a lot of varied fishing activity.

Daytime offshore swordfishing has been quite outstanding lately in Miami.  Over in Key Biscayne, sea trout, jack crevalles, bluefish and Spanish mackerel have all been seen in large numbers, as well as snook.  Larger catches like barracudas have also been seen over in the flats.  Over in the blue-water edge near the Bayside Marketplace Marina, Sailfish and small kingfish have been spotted.

Moving over to Key Largo, blackfin tuna have been seen in the Humps, while wahoo are swimming around the outer reef line.
