miami staytrip


Boardwalk, Hollywood

With an ill dog at home, I’ve been renting a car now several weeks in a row.  With the mobility of wheels I decided to take a number of afternoon excursions, treating Miami as if a city visited on a roadtrip.

Not surprisingly, Miami reveals herself to be a borderlands city on multiple levels.  Meadernings range from the Design District, to Downtown, to Little Havana, Homestead, Hollywood, Overtown, and North Bay Village. [please hover over images for captions]
