From cars stuck in half-snow, half-sand… to Flamingo patrons holding drinks while tow trucks do their thing… from trivia night rage to pizzas flying out of Miller Pizza… from boaters blasting terrible music to locals losing their minds at stop signs — it’s all here.
This is Miller Beach as it really is: funny, messy, frustrating, lovable, and home.
No puppets. No yelling. Just a poetic snapshot of the neighborhood we know and love — ending the only way it can:
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
