We take a look back at 2021, the 2nd year of COVID, and the headlines that made the news in Miami Springs. 2021 was a year of challenging crime along NW 36th street with human trafficking arrests serving as bookends to the beginning and the end of the year. We have a promising new City Council led by the first female mayor of Miami Springs: Maria Mitchell. And we have a return to normalcy with the return of the traditional July 4th activities. We laid out the biggest headlines from each month below, but you can click on any month to see all the stories listed that month.
