Miami: Substance Beyond the Sand
Overview:
(Brickell City Centre, Brickell)
Palm trees, sunshine, and sex are just some of the things that come to mind when people think of Miami, Florida. To the outside world, our city is a tropical beachside paradise by day and a playground for exuberance & bad behavior by night. While some of these stereotypes may be true about Miami Beach, the same can’t be said for the entire city of Miami. What inspires me about the Magic City is the substance that can be found beyond the sands of Miami Beach. Neighborhoods like Brickell & Wynwood have hit their stride with booming enterprises & eateries for both locals & visitors. While areas like Little Havana & Little Haiti are starting to experience a cultural renaissance & appreciation that’s been long overdue. Miami may not share the same wild reputation or enthusiasm for pastel colors as her sister across the bay, but she’s always willing to have a great time & reinvent herself along the way.
