🌱 Brickell Bridge Temporary Closure + KÓMMA South Beach Coming Soon

Hello, neighbors! It's Wednesday in Miami and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on the most important things happening in town. Enjoy...

First, today's weather:

An a.m. shower; partly sunny. High: 84 Low: 76.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Miami who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Miami Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top five stories today in Miami:

1. A plane arriving at Miami International Airport from Santo Domingo caught fire after its landing gear collapsed on Tuesday evening. The Red Air civilian transport aircraft made an emergency landing at around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. (WSVN)

2. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is closing both lanes of Brickell Bridge (SR90/US 41) starting Tuesday, June 28 through Friday, July 1 and again from Tuesday, July 5 through Thursday, July 7, for maintenance. Hours are from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on those days. (WPLG Local 10)

3. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office are giving different accounts of an encounter with a large bear that ended with deputies fatally shooting the animal over the weekend. "It should be noted that the bear had NO place to roam safely!" the sheriff's office said in a statement, which is disputed by FWC. (NBC Miami)

4. Rosie's: The Backyard has reopened at 7127 NW 2nd Avenue that will serve as a temporary home for the restaurant while the owners renovate a historic house in Little River that will eventually house the concept. (Eater Miami)

5. Miami-based restaurateur George Sezgin is set to bring a concept to South Beach with KÓMMA, a Mediterranean kitchen and bar set to open on Friday, July 1. The menu will be led by Chef Sebastian Forero and include fire-roasted Greek dips, house-made seafood Youvetsi, a signature chicken kebab and more. (Ocean Drive Magazine)
