So many who walk the streets don't speak English let alone appreciate Miami's rich history. If Dan Paul were alive today maybe there would be an effort. However, homelessness is a big problem in the area and across the street is the government center for which is a hangout for bums and cheap cafecitos.

In South Miami, Mayor Stoddard wants to give the city hall property to one of his trustee pals at FIU in a sweetheart deal to build a new city hall. Stoddard didn't want to continue to spend $50,000 per year to maintain the existing city hall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-17068140303828336192017-04-11T22:59:55.766-04:002017-04-11T22:59:55.766-04:00This is a prime example why we must hold elected l...This is a prime example why we must hold elected leaders and our government accountable.

The cases and personalities adjudicated in this building defined and carved the city. Jose Canseco and Able Holtz get streets, George Merrick gets a statue for going bust as a developer, but an iconic location and building likes gets caca.
