The people have spoken.  Our What’s Up With South Florida? poll winner (by a landslide) for Episode 3 was the “Inglish Gratis” sign at Hialeah High School.  Click here to listen.

    Wow.
    Concerned, thanks for sharing that with us.
    Please keep a look out for other weird and wacky signs in South Florida. We will be using them for a future web feature.
    You can post them to our WLRN Under the Sun Flickr feed (http://www.flickr.com/groups/underthesun/) or send them to photos@wlrnunderthesun.org.

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
