Miami a Southern City? For real, Miami is a northen city, actually sometimes I think It is the more northen city of Cuba. LOL, OK a joke, But Miami seems more like New York than any other USA southern city.

Eewww... Miami isnt southern, at all. It's a mix of NJ/Carribean. How did it get road rage capitol and worst US drivers again? Hmm...

It WISHES it had the attributes of a southern city.

I'm far more comfortable with miami as it is. I like northeasterners which is not to say that I don't like southerners just that I like a person who is direct and southerners are not directly direct you need to know the buzzwords. if you know the buzzwords then southerners are just like anyone else but they seem sweet to the outsider, they ain't but they are pleasant in their abrasiveness.

AA culture in Miami is very similar to the rest of the South. That is why at Publix you will find "collard greens" and "lemon pepper" chicken - 2 items I love! If it weren't for AA culture in Miami, there would be almost no trace of pre-1980's culture in Miami. Except for Tom's Barbecue on 8th street and a few small restaurants off the Tamiami Trail, there are almost no non-ethnic restaurants that predate El Mariel and its aftermath.

Miami is Miami. The blacks are as southern as anywhere else, but that's where it STOPS. And not all blacks are American Blacks, ALOT are Carribean.

No, not a southern town:

According to the Wikipedia:

Miami is recognized as a global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts and international trade.[7][8] The city is home to many company headquarters, banks, and television studios. It is an international center for popular entertainment in television, music, fashion, film, and the performing arts. The city's Port of Miami is known for accommodating the largest volume of cruise ships in the world and is home to many cruise line headquarters. Miami is also home to the largest concentration of international banks in the United States.
