	While passing Virgina Key beach on Nov.17,2004, we noticed that a film shoot was underway that has something to do with a waverunner and a wetsuit. A high budget commercial with a Miami Police vessel complete with a rent-a-cop, 2 photographers, not to mention the talent, permits, oh yeah, and the helicopter. That was the neat part. The helicopter with the photographer hanging out the door filming this wet bike going as fast as he could and doing neat turns and tricks. The picture above shows the crew setting up one of the cameras with a long lense to capture the action from the beach, and to the left, the police boat and the rider prepare to pretend to get pulled over. (Right)

	Meanwhile, accross the street, the old Miami Marine Stadium continues to be the largest graffitti canvas on Virginia Key and you can see the fine job the the City of Miami does with landscaping. It is allways so refreshing to know that our tax dollars are going towards keeping our community looking great, fresh, and clean. This is just part of the background for a couple of ladies riding bikes along the Rickenbacker Causeway preparing to go over the 'Miami Mountain' which is commonly referred to as the "Big Bridge" or the William Powell Bridge on the Intercoastal Waterway.
	Back on the "Village" of Key Biscayne ( where the Rickenbacker Causeway morphs into Crandon Boulevard (At the first traffic light), we have been witnessing the building of the latest addition to the Island Paradise of Key Biscayne, yes, another Bank. We now have more banks on Key Biscayne than we do actual residents. The picture on the left is just days before the Wachovia Bank on Key Biscayne (located next door to the Citibank of Key Biscayne) officially opens for business. The picture on the right is taken from the Key Executive Building on the third floor facing east. The building on the right (above the tree line) is Key Colony Botanica.
