Rumor- 3 AM Cutoff for City of Miami Nightspots...
I heard from a little bird that they are planning a 3 AM cutoff time for all nightspots in the City of Miami, coming soon, thanks to Commissioner Mark Sarnoff.
Could you imagine Mia, Bardot, Electric Pickle, Vagabond or Space being closed at 3 AM?! How would this effect our city social dynamic? I don't like the sound of this...
According to my little bird, they haven't formally proposed the notion yet but it's definitely a question in the works. Again, thank you Commissioner Mark Sarnoff .
What do you all think? Should we share our thoughts? If anyone wants to step it up a bit, feel free to get in touch with Sarnoff's office at (305)250-5333.

I heard the same, but I actually heard 2am as the proposed cutoff for alcohol sales. This would hurt local businesses tremendously! Most lounges, bars, and clubs don't get busy till about 11 or 12am. That would mean only 2 hours worth of alcohol sales. I just don't see how they can survive on that.
Any other info would be appreciated. We need a way to voice our opinions!

That's ridiculous! You might as well go live in Boca Raton (Heaven's waiting room) if this happens.

Obviously Mark Sarnoff's presence is not as "active" as his slogan states he is. He obviously doesn't get out much at all or does he seem to care much about the economics such an action. To even consider this outrageous! He's probably the one responsible for Coconut Grove cut off years back since he lives/lived there. If you want everyone to be at home by 2 or 3am how about you move back to smallville usa Mr. Sarnoff and bounce hell out of Miami please!

I thought I would take the liberty and doing some research on Mr. Sarnoff. What better place to start than his own personal website www.marcsarnoff.com.
Can this guy be any more full of shit?
A commissioner that leads by example, what do you think?
He boasts on his front page for a stronger initiative on the home front. Looks like he's more on the bandwagon than being a leader. With this buzzing rumor of a 3 AM cut-off time, how much truth can we hold to him saying "A strong society comes about by helping itself and taking steps to make things happen." Maybe he's using reverse psychology or something. I mean, how do we stimulate progress and growth for local businesses within a rejuvenating metropolis while we create "road blocks" and hurdles?
Yes, lets build residential high rise communities, lets build restaurants, lets rebuild downtown.
Being a Miami resident/representative since 1987, you would think he understood the basic fundamentals of economics and what stimulates growth in our city. Miamians are nothing like other city dwellers around the country; not even in our neighbor city Ft. Lauderdale. As superficial as this may sound, we love our nightlife. Oh and guess what, businesses love that we do. Most places don't get their big bucks until about 11 PM or midnight. Can you imagine being open all day for breakfast, lunch, dinner and happy hour and that not even being half of what you make during peak hours?
Straight from his website, Marc Sarnoff writes in his "background" that his platform, is pretty basic and universal, stating the following:
"My motivation is to strive to attain goals that speak to all residents in Miami."
Can he please create an open floor discussion amongst residents and business owners?
"Encouraging the economic development in all the areas in District 2."
Yes, this is showing 100%!
"Maintaining and creating a better quality of life in our beautiful City and ensuring that it becomes a model for future cities all over the world."
Model for future cities all over the world? I'm sorry, it looks like we're following in Tampa's, Ft. Lauderdale's, Boca's, West Palm's, NYC's, Rhode Island's, Boston's (do I need to continue listing cities?) footsteps.
I thought growth was about moving forward, not taking steps backward.
Can I get some business owners opinions?

How do we fight this? If they did this in Downtown/Brickell, it would bring the development of night life to a screeching halt. New businesses just won't open. They can't possibly survive if they can't sell alcohol beyond 3am. Miami is a late crowd...

Very contagious unfortunately. Right now I think they're just targeting the Grove. But this could spread. Unfortunately a lot of the tower-dwelling people Downtown choose to stand in the way of commerce and free enterprise. Restrictions of any sort on any businesses operating hours is un-American.
