Actually when I was much younger I thought of Miami as a very glamorous place to be. Went there with my parents when I was about 13 and thought that I was a movie star walking down Collins Ave. The Fountain Blue and Frank Sinatra, all those great hotels at that time. Then I started to hear stories of it going downhill and started to hear of it only as a retirement area. That changed again when my husband and I started to cruise a 8)lot taking off from Miami and we saw all the new construction, beautiful buildings, South Beach and Bayside shopping. Everything seemed new and revitalized again. And that's exactly how moving to FL and TV has made me feel. I love it! :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:
