Dragging Main
Mike: Last summer in response to the covid-19 pandemic, local businesses and entertainment venues like theaters and concert halls limited their events. Thus Friday nights quickly became boring. Local organizers in conjunction with the city of Miami went back to basics and began hosting cruise nights as a way to keep the community engaged while ensuring socially distancing.
-Video Mike: With three cruises under the belt, another one happened on Friday June 25th. In addition to cruising, a concert featuring local musician Jacob Clark took place on the lawn of Security National Bank in Downtown Miami. We had an opportunity to interview Mr. Clark and ask him about the inspiration of his recent song.
