list what is right about South Florida (Miami, Orlando: condo, subdivision)

[Jon F Moss]

---the 1st Burger King restaurant is located in Miami? Head to 3090 NW 36 St. The only way you'd ever know though is by looking at your receipt. It will say Store #1 at the top

---one of the oldest buildings intact buildings in America is located in North Miami Beach. The Ancient Spanish Monastery Built around the 10th Century in Segovia Spain, and transported stone by stone to Florida...

---Coral Castle was built entirely by hand by one man to prove his love to a 16 year old girl who refused his proposal and never visited the castle...

---Vizcaya was built in the 1910's to resemble a fifteenth century Italian estate.

---Miami is the only United States city to be planned by a woman, Julia Tuttle

---Miami is the only city bordering two national parks: Everglades and Biscayne

---Ft Lauderdale is known as the Venice of the U.S.

---Sawgrass Mills Mall is the worlds largest discount shopping mall

Streamline Moderne (specially where you don't expect it).

Sailing _to_ somewhere (instead of just around the buoys).

An espresso every two blocks (that doesn't cost 4 bucks).

Venetian Pool (In the summer, just like a sauna, except the opposite).

Sidewalks (some towns are just impossible to walk in).

Warm water (ever put a toe in the Pacific?).

The Seaquarium (Totally mid-century retro, plus dolphins).

I had to do something seemed like the Miami forum was being flushed down the toilet....it may not be paradise, but there are some good things down here worth mentioning!

Bill Baggs State Park, Uleta State Park, the Everglades in the winter (less mosquitos), delicious shakes, pies, breads at Knaus Berry Farm, and I love the weather. Love a delicious colada, and a guava & cheese pastry, Argentine empanadas.....yum, ok, so I have food on my mind. And I don't much care for a Tropical Storm or Hurricane, but I love the warm weather and the humidity, and I also like it when we get some cool weather, too. My parents live here and I enjoy being closeby to them as well.

I've only lived here 21 years..but I know a thing or two about the area.

We took our daughter to the Young at Art Childrens Musuem off SR 84 & Hiatus last weekend. It was a lot of fun. If you have little ones, it's worth checking out

By the way does anyone notice that much of what people like about Miami was here 50 years ago?

dude air in south florida is wonderfully clean compared to LA. everything blows straight off the peninsula into the ocean.
you only get some haze or smoke from fires in the winter.
