🌱 'Light Up The Night' CityPlace Doral + Miami Beach Arts Investment

Hey, everybody. It's me, Carlos Hernandez, your host of the Miami Daily — back in your inbox with everything you need to know about what's happening locally. Today you'll find news about:

• 🗳️ Broward County residents in two cities voted to impose term limits on local politicans last Tuesday.
• 🏗️ The 100-story Waldorf Astoria supertall tower in downtown Miami is moving on to its next step of development.
• 🎄 "Light Up The Night" is coming to CityPlace Doral this holiday season.

Today is National Pickle Day. The history of pickling foods goes back thousands of years in history.

But first, today's weather:

Partly sunny with a shower. High: 84 Low: 74.

Here are the top stories today in Miami:

1. Two cities in Broward County, Deerfield Beach and Wilton Manors, voted last Tuesday to impose term limits on politicians. Political action committess (PACS) funded by police unions, hospitality companies and other special interests attempted to stop voters from voting for term limits. (Florida Politics)

2. The Lincoln Road District in Miami-Dade is growing once again with a storefront occupancy rate of 85 percent. Recent brands opening stores in the area include Chinese fashion brand Yoyoso, Barcelona's Mango, and West Elm furniture and home decor. (Miami Today)

4. CityPlace Doral is transforming into a winter wonderland this holiday season from Nov. 17 to Dec. 31. The event this year is called "Light Up The Night" and will feature plent of lights, Christmas trees, magic snowfalls, arts and crafts, and more. (Miami's Community News)

5. Miami Beach residents voted Tuesday to approve $159 million in bonds to invest in arts and culture throughout the area. The city estimates it the cost per $100,000 of taxable value would be around $21 annually. Most of the money will go toward the demolition, reconstruction and reopening of the Byron Carlyle Theater.
