Johnny Diaz: The PrEP Debate
http://beantowncubanito.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-prep-debate.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. Lately, I've been hearing a lot of guys in South Florida talking about PrEP, the HIV prevention pill. Some groups such as Impulse South Florida have been holding townhall/cocktail party-type gatherings called PREP U to educate young men and their friends about the pros and cons of PrEP and who should be taking it. I wrote an Sun Sentinel article. About this PrEP debate and how guys are weighing whether its right for them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Monday, April 27, 2015. The island village of Islamorada is less than a 2 hour drive from Miami but you feel like you're a world away when down there in the Keys. I wrote a daytrip guide fo.

Johnny Diaz: Urban villages
http://beantowncubanito.blogspot.com/2015/04/urban-villages.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. They're like urban villages, new residential complexes that have restaurants and retail shops downstairs and within or near the downtown metros. I wrote a story. On how these city developments are popping up in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Boca Raton city centers. The idea is you don't have to drive to eat or shop, something that has been the standard in the Northeast. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Johnny Diaz, Cuban-American author and journalist.

http://beantowncubanito.blogspot.com/2015/04/its-herbie.html
Friday, April 17, 2015. Herbie The Love Bug rolled into West Palm Beach this week for the annual Barrett-Jackson car auction at the South Florida Fairgrounds. This version of Herbie was used in two movies, Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo and Herbie Goes Bananas. Folks snapped selfies with the car at CityPlace in West Palm Beach Wednesday afternoon. I got to take a fun (and bouncy ride) in the little Beetlem which can still squirt oil (or now water) from its rear right wheel. Here's my Sun Sentinel article.

Johnny Diaz: More than words
http://beantowncubanito.blogspot.com/2015/04/more-than-words.html
Thursday, April 23, 2015. For bilingual speakers, do you feel things more in one language than another? Does saying I love you. Mean more in English than Te Amo. I wrote an article. A Florida Atlantic University doctoral student who is exploring the issue. As someone who learned Spanish first and then began speaking English in Head Start at Biscayne Elementary and then kindergarten at North Beach Elementary, I find that I feel things more.
