​Ever wish you could have a mimosa before noon at Sunday brunch? Try to check out at Publix with a six-pack at 11:45 on Sunday, and be told you need to hang around and wait for 15 minutes? Fear not, problem drinker. The Fort Lauderdale city commission is on your side.

Florida's cities and counties have an overlapping patchwork of liquor laws: normally, state law prohibits liquor sales between 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. Counties can change that -- for example, Miami-Dade's liquor stores can stay open 24 hours, and Broward restricts liquor sales before

​Rise and shine; shake the sleep from your eyes. Or, alternately, wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey: There be news bulletins richocheting about.

  • This story could have had such a different ending: Guy goes in to rob a Pompano Beach cell-phone store only to have the clerk start preaching about Jesus. He admits he's got only a BB gun, needs $300 to stave off eviction -- and leaves. Take that, atheists. [Sun-Sentinel]
  • In the first half of 2010, South Florida had the most foreclosures of any metro area in the country. That's right. We beat everyone. So while you're riding your bike to work from the abandoned shipping container you call home, pump a fist in the air and let everyone know: "WE'RE NUMBER ONE!" [Sun-Sentinel]

    Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for morningjuice.jpg
    ​    pushy and rude -- you know the type. When it was time to pay up, she left a decoy purse at the office and skipped out, promising to hit an ATM and return. She didn't. You know the type -- you try to help someone out of their wrinkled-face situation, and this is the thanks you get. Sun-Sentinel

Higher prices and concerns over environmental issues in the Gulf precipitated the decision, which will trickle down and impact the fisheries that have been stocking the chain. That's a lot of grouper and snapper not being bought and sold. Palm Beach Post
  • The owner of the Rum Shack, a popular drinkery in Lake Worth, was popped last night for DUI. Driving home (with a deputy already scoping him out), he allegedly knocked over a pedestrian on the roadside. Kevin Knight, 43, is a former cruise-ship bartender known for a concoction called the Drunken Monkey. Palm Beach Post

Headlines from our little corner of the world this morning:
