MIAMI -- Search the words "Miami Beach" online and it is hardly all sunshine and good news in the wake of two deadly shootings over the span of 36 hours.

"Miami Beach is a beautiful, wonderful, magical place and what happened on those particular weekends is not characteristic of the whole year whatsoever," David Wallack, owner of Mango's Tropical Café on Ocean Drive said Monday.
