I’m in South Beach for a conference on Millikin’s dime. It’s not a bad place to visit, I recommend it if you get the chance. The weather is fantastic for the middle of February.. it was around 4 degrees when we left on Sunday and it’s in the low 70’s now with a slight breeze.
The streets go on forever, lined with beach fashion stores, little knick-knack shops, body piercing places, and tiny restaurants. Most of the shops seems to be mostly deserted with a couple proprietors leaning back in chairs hugging the back wall. There are lots of little pizza places with formica tables and roundbar chairs, a surprising number of chinese and italian places, some sushi bars, three Irish Pubs so far with that same edgy/bulbous font on the signs that you see at every Irish pub, and an Argentinian goucho steakhouse that I’ll probably checking out tomorrow. People seem to stay out all night and nothing closes much before 11 at night.
All the hotels have that white stone block art deco look with 50’s font styling on the signs and palm trees swaying out front. Kinda makes me think of Grim Fandango for some reason.
