Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Calle Ocho is an afternoon-long street fair festival held once a year in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood as part of the Lent festivities, and is commonly known as “a signature event that celebrates the city’s cultural heritage.” The festival had originally started out as being “a venue for introducing non-Hispanic Miamians to their Cuban neighbors” but in the past years, it has evolved to celebrate the diversity and evolvement of Latino cultures (Price 82). Contrary to popular belief, only the small section of the street that runs through Little Havana is referred to as Calle Ocho.
