MIAMI | Where else but Florida could a place like Jimbo’s exist? It’s a bait shack — emphasis on “shack” — a few miles from downtown Miami but with an isolated island feel and a diverse mix of customers. Beer is self-serve, and the 82-year-old owner watches over the activity in a rickety boat captain’s chair. It has been a location in films such as “Wild Things” and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” and TV shows such as “Flipper” and “Miami Vice,” yet most folks don’t know where it is.
Q. I’m trying to get a refund for lost train tickets. I bought two Amtrak tickets for my sister and me to travel from Osceola, Iowa, to Denver. Then I discovered that my husband, thinking that the envelope contained old information from a recent Amtrak trip I’d taken to Colorado, threw the tickets away. When I contacted Amtrak, I was told that “lost tickets are lost money” and I would have to pay the conductor on the train for the lost tickets. If I found the tickets within a year, I could have a cash refund minus 10 percent or use them for future travel within that year.
