Surfside Tragedy — Is Condo Living Safe?

Lying on the Beach On Camera with Steve Greenberg and Lois Whitman-Hess

On June 24th— we were all shocked to learn that a condo tower in Surfside, Florida had collapsed overnight.

We have since learned that 97 Residents died in that collapse.

It was tragedy that not only stunned South Florida— it’s stunned the nation.

AND it’s left many of us wondering “is our building safe?” “Are we next?” “Should we continue to live in a high rise?”

Lying On The Beach’s Lois Whitman Hess and Steve Greenberg talk with Jonathan McClintock about this issue.

Jonathan is a District Manager for KW Property Management & Consulting.

He oversees 14 Luxury Hi-Rise Condominium Buildings in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties — including one building in Surfside.

Jonathan talks about the structural fears of Hi-Rise living and what can residents do to insure our buildings are safe.

Is Journalism Dead? Our podcast guest thinks it may not be dead, but it might be on life support

We would need this entire podcast to properly introduce our guest today on “Lying on the Beach.” For the last 40 years, Ray Elman, currently founding Editor in Chief of Inspicio, has been at the forefront of both the editorial and art worlds. Podcast Co-hosts, Steve Greenberg, a TV personality, and Lois Whitman-Hess, a PR counselor, interviewed Ray, about the state of journalism and why it’s not getting the respect it so richly deserve.

To appreciate the comments Ray is going to make you have to appreciate the quality work he has done in his career. In 2015, Ray founded the Inspicio arts publication platform, which is sponsored by FIU | CARTA.  Inspicio provides in-depth, high-quality insights into all arts disciplines with a focus on Miami and South Florida. The publication is famous for its video interviewing technique and for mixing famous authors with student writers.

Elman also co-founded Provincetown Arts magazine and Cincinnati Arts magazine. Ray was also a pioneer  in the digital communication industry, first as the National Director of Creative Services at Coopers & Lybrand (now PricewaterhouseCoopers) and as the co-founder of Streamline Communications, which is now a public company called Bridgeline Digital. He was also a founder of Cambria Interactive at Cambria Consulting.

In addition, Elman has sustained a successful life-time career as a visual artist. Four of his large scale mixed-media portraits (Pulitzer Prize recipients Stanley Kunitz, Jhumpa Lahiri, Alan Dugan, & U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky) are included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. His work is exhibited in museums, galleries and private collections all over the world.
