Miami is the most exotic city in the United States. Of course, that’s debatable—and I won’t even trying to unpack what I mean. I just love the city—and I do mean the greater metro area including downtown, Coconut Grove, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables as well as some of the outer areas.
Yesterday afternoon I was fortunate to not only eat lunch at Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market in Little Havana, but I was able to drive & walk down Ocean Ave. in Miami Beach and take in the sights and sounds of the Art Deco district.
I took this photograph of the Colony Hotel Miami South Beach just after sunset and while there was still just a little bit of light in the sky.
Some of my favorite films shot in Miami are Scarface, Up Close & Personal, Absence of Malice and the doc Cocaine Cowboys.


I like the old part of Miami, but not much else.
