Miami Beach comes down hard on spring break partiers.

Well. This should prove interesting. It looks like Florida, or at least Miami Beach, is very actively trying to discourage the annual horde of drunken students who drink, dance and copulate, often in public. Popular opinion seems to be that the party will continue.

Her job was to show the guests how to swing around on the trapeze. She said it lived up to its reputation. And then some.

Is there a rule about wiping everything down?
I'm really not a germaphobe, but the nature of that place makes me squeamish.

First it was Ft Lauderdale in the 1960's but after a few years the city said it cost more to police the kids than it was worth so they were banned. The "kids" then went to Daytona Beach, Then Jacksonville, back to Miami then back to Ft Lauderdale.
The cities like the money the college kids bring in but don't like the insanity

You're just jealous. Aging hippies making city policy shouldn't forget how much fun the Woodstock generation had. Plus, our drugs and music were better.
