Tony and Eric's Excellent 2007 Adventure: PART 3 - MIAMI, FL

Finally! Miami! Sorry these took awhile to get up - but it has gotten really busy at work... No map this time. But we can compare Miami to the characters of the third most famous show ever set in Miami after CSI: Miami and Miami Vice:



BoA




America's little Dubai





Gorgeous Freedom Tower






Very cool




Florida's tallest - the Four Seasons Miami












The Miami River area








Downtown's historic shopping district - in need of renovations











Burdines - now Macy*s - flagship store downtown. It looks and smells like a warehouse.









Gorgeous renovation to lofts happening at the Security Building












the-new-tony-detroit's self portrait


The park south of Bayside Marketplace reminds me a lot of Detroit's Hart Plaza






sorry about the lack of clarity - I was driving


Miami Beach




















Deco be good.

















Dusk sets over the city as we prepare to leave for Savannah.





























Eric can post his perceptions of Miami later today or tomorrow I'm sure! Next up is the last installment of the trip - the jewel of the South - Savannah, GA.

Goodnight Don Johnson.

I DO love Miami! Was a little unimpressed with Brickell, but admittedly didn't really get a chance to see it more intimately. The Beach was supurb though, and I must go back there someday!!

I'll post my pictures soon.

Those are giant lit up snowflakes. They're left over christmas decorations. You can kind of make them out in the night shots.

I thought this building was finished??




















Bayside? I liked this area a lot!












Old and new school. I like that old building.


Jackson? Medical Center.




Miami River


II Shots (love the bus!)


The infamous (& growing) HOV shot.


We drove a freeway loop and at one point on the west side, we witnessed the aftermath of a motorcycle accident where some helmetless guy whiped it merging the onramp. The bike was crumbled and the guy laying on the freeway was a bloody goo. Scary stuff!


Another fwy pickeroo.


Causeway to the BEECH!

Sunbathing at the Police Station.






I discovered hanging out by yourself in parking garages is the cool thing to do in Miami. I'm sure the fad will catch on!

LOVED IT all the way!!
