Our list of simple pleasures goes on and on, and it’s all thanks to you! We turned to Instagram and asked how you practice self care in our beautiful city. You all did not disappoint…

Some of you choose to stay active:

“Take a walk in Kennedy Park!” — @frohochos

“Running along the Venetian Causeway.” — @melrosko

Some of you treat yourself:

“Taking myself to the Coral Gables to walk around and have a nice meal.” — @krista_vania

Some of you share your thoughts with a listening ear:

“I make sure to see my therapist once a month!” — @helensofian

And some of you try to relax and NOT honk your horn:

“Not taking myself too seriously. Especially in traffic.” — @afrobeta

No matter how you do it, take care of yourself. You’re worth it.

Earlier this year, the Dade Heritage Trust released its 2019 list of the most endangered sites in Miami Dade County.

Anderson’s Corner — once a country general store turned apartments turned locally revered Harvest House restaurant — was one of a dozen sites on the list. Others include the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach, the S&S Diner’s location on Northeast 2nd, and the Gondola Building in Coral Gables.

Explore the history Anderson’s Corner, the first building to ever be officially designated as a county historic site.

To celebrate the preservation of historic sites in Miami-Dade, attend the launch of Dade Heritage Trust’s annual Preservation Today Magazine on May 21 at the Olympia Theater.

It’s been a few days since Gov. Ron DeSantis revealed that two Florida counties were hacked by Russian intelligence agents during the 2016 election season, but Floridians are still in the dark about who was impacted.

The governor said that the FBI required him to keep the info secret, and county elections departments have basically said the same.

That’s got lawmakers from both parties pretty frustrated with the FBI. The agency briefed Sen. Rick Scott and the Florida members of the U.S. House about which counties were affected but also required them to withhold the information.

Meanwhile, the Sun Sentinel reported yesterday that at least 13 counties — and as many as 20 — were sent phishing emails in an attempt to access their data.

The Miami-Dade elections department said it didn’t get the emails, but officials in Broward confirmed that they did receive the malicious messages.

And last night, Politico and the Washington Post reported that Washington County in the Panhandle was one of the two counties hacked by Russian intelligence agents.

Palm Beach officials are rejecting a Border Patrol plan to send hundreds of asylum seekers at the Mexico-U.S. border to SoFlo. The plan would apparently split the individuals between Palm Beach and Broward counties, but local law enforcement says the plan doesn’t spell out if there will be federal assistance for housing or transporting the groups.

After seven months of renovation, some Overtown residents who lived in a blighted decades-old apartment building will be moving back into an upgraded building later this month. Even better news: The residents of the 16 Corner Project apartments will be paying about the same affordable rent as they did before the upgrades. (Miami Herald)

Florida City resident Regina Talabert is a prom dress supplier for dozens of teenagers in south Miami-Dade. Talabert said she was inspired to give away the dresses as a tribute to her daughter, who was shot and killed before she could attend her prom in 2017. (WLRN)

If this year’s legislative session felt overwhelming, or you’re just not sure about what happened with certain bills, this Saturday you’ll have a chance to get a download.

The Miami-Dade League of Women Voters is hosting a debrief at CIC Miami to talk through what did and didn’t pass, what’s still waiting to be signed, and what it will mean for the state and us here in SoFlo.

The event starts at 10 a.m. You can find more info here.

Have a great weekend, Miami. See ya on Monday.
