Miami Art Deco district

We used to fly to Miami back in the early 90’s when living in NY, to escape the polar cold of Manhattan… back them it was still a bit rough, and South beach was just starting to come back to life, only a handful of hotels were refurbished and there was an melancholic feel to the place. Later on it became the place to be-and-bee-seen, but now ocean drive is pretty much a succession of crapy restaurants on the verge of fast-food, with life « flamenco » singers and dancers (couldn’t quite work out why..), but, as the beach opposite is manicured, and there is a nice pedestrian/cycling path all along the beach, one can romantically enjoy the Art Deco frontages lit in colourful neons from a distance in the dark 🙂

During day time, one can appreciate all the details that give those building such a happy look
