MIAMI, FL- “Memorial Day Weakened,” The first issue of South Florida’s newest political magazine, The Palmetto Patriot premiered this weekend at private reception in Miami’s Coconut Grove, hosted by Ahswasser of Djibouti, Hands of South Miami, Bhang Productions, and IGP Entertainment.
Showcasing a host of writers and artists native to Florida, the magazine will present non-fiction, photographic essay, satire, art and humor.
“It’s for Miami, our intense community really,” says Managing Editor Raul Padron. “In English and in Spanish, every possible political party, national origin, religious or sexual preference is represented here. It’s a place like no other in all the Americas.”
Given Florida’s past of bumbling through presidential and mayoral elections and municiple corruption, Padron anticipates a breathtaking view of emerging, large social problems of the future. “They’re going to kick our ass!” He chuckles.
We at the Palmetto Patriot couldn’t agree more. Complimentary collector’s edition copies of the premiere issue were distributed grand opening weekend, along with subscriptions at discounted rates.
The Palmetto Patriot is published annually. The magazine launches into cyberspace later this year.
