SoBe landmarks

I've been here a few times, usually after a late night at Crobar (now Cameo but I'm old school)

In my three years on the beach I was obsessed with this place, and for all the right reasons. It doesn't fit in with anything else on the beach, it's shiny, it looks like a trailer, it's on Washington Ave and it has a neon sign that says "dinners and cocktails." what's not to be obsessed with it? i mean, other than the fact that the scrambled eggs seemed suspiciously to be of the "powdered" variety. But at 3 a.m., who cares, right?

really?


seriously, I can't even think of anything snarky to say because the pic stands alone

When Pelicans Attack

More photos from my recent daytrip to Jupiter. There were a million minnows - as one fisherman said to me, "It's not a good day to be a minnow."

In the inlet it was like Thanksgiving dinner for the Pelicans. They didn't even have to get up and divebomb the water like they usually do. Attack!

How business is run in Miami Beach

Enough said. really.

I lived on the beach for years and this is the first time I have ever seen this sign. But one of my friends was at city hall when she heard a place was getting fined for this stuff.

Beachy Sundays

So I met one of my cohorts on Lincoln Road on Sunday for shopping, food and scoping the strangeness. Despite the occasional Monsoon-like weather it was relaxing, and I always love checking out the market, even if it's the off-season microversion.




We both admired the flowers that bloom on this tree. And also the air potatos (which are illegal to grow, plant and sell in Miami-Dade)

You find a mix of venders on Lincoln Road on Sunday:

Like people selling fruits and veggies. This particular vendor was not any better of a deal than the grocery. Boo to that, since I wanted to buy avocados.


But you can always find orchids!


The Chabad House has always had this booth, but it was abandoned because of the rain. It never fails to amaze me that Miami Beach is essentially a sin den, but there is a very strong, devout jewish population there. It's an interesting dichotomy.


My cohort made a new friend...


The rest of Miami has roosters, Miami Beach has flamingos. Go fig.

I Like Neon

I really like neon and Miami is a fantastic place to be a fan of the noble gas. Hell, even our bridges are lit up like the colors of the rainbow (see the Port of Miami bridge and the MacArthur Causeway - one day I'll get these too). Plus I also really like random signs. Here are some from the Wynwood area:

Thank you, Rick

Thanks again for the love! We won't disappoint!
