Mr. Swindle’s Traveling Peculiarium: The “scoundrel of eclectic entertainment,” B.S.

Paradox Museum Miami: The first U.S. version of the museum, in the heart of Wynwood, is designed to “blow minds and challenge the senses.” Expect that to happen more than once over the course of 60 to 90 minutes during an experience with 70 interactive math, science and psychology-based exhibits. Activations include perceived movement inside the Paradox Tunnel as well as the chance to create your own concerto at the Paradox Piano. (paradoxmuseummiami.com)

Roger Daltrey: The lead singer of The Who returns to South Florida for a show (Feb. 20) at Hard Rock Live that’s certain to include several of the band’s greatest hits.

His 10 studio albums include 2018’s “As Long As I Have You,” which featured The Who’s Pete Townshend playing guitar on seven tracks. (myhrl.com)

The Power of Potential: Tom D’Eri, co-founder of South Florida’s Rising Tide Car Wash (which employs individuals from the autism community), has authored this book, subtitled How a Non-Traditional Workforce Can Lead You to Run Your Business Better.
