Advice on Miami ?

[my2002lightning]

Well, I found out Thu. that I'm shipping out Sun. afternoon to spend 3 weeks in Miami on the Miami/Dade Cty. IT systems - maybe there longer. :cool:

I was thinking I'd be on South Beach. :bowsSuch was not the case. Their HQ is in Haileah (sp?) - I was speaking with my lead yesterday in Atlanta and said the HQ is in the barrios of Miami - somewhat. :crying::cool:

Anyone spent any time in Miami and have any advice?

Muchas gracias ...or something....:D

Dont drive around in a rental car. They look for the rental car sticker and figure your a tourist which makes an easy mark. I hear Florida is really bad about this.

Hmm. I'll be staying somewhere in Miami and making the "Baghdad-Run" to Haileah in the morning in a rental and back to the hotel in the evening.:cool:

Your conceal Carry license is good in Florida:rolleyes:

There is a really neat resort in Hollywood where you can rent a room that floats on the bay , so you can fish from your balcony. It is in a gated area so it is more secure than other areas:beer:

I am not saying that Florida is that bad, but look at Ron's Avitar!!

Sixpipes and I have two brothers in Florida, but the Miami area can be quite unique!!

At least one evening while you are there go check out Jai Alai. It's the fastest ball game played in the world. You can see it live at Miami Jai-Alai on 3500 NW 37th Avenue. Talk to some locals for more details. Very Very Cool Game!

Curtis,

I passed the Miami Jai-Alai venue on the way to get my rental. I understand the game-ball can hit speeds up to 150 mph! :eek2: I'll have to check it out.

Palm-trees everywhere, huge party boats and Vida Guerra types running around everywhere. Adam would like this place. knana

I'm liking this whole vibe.:D

Milton,

I might have to check into your floating-apt./fishing suggestion.

I avoid the barrios like the plague. The downside is that the "office" is in a big warehouse district with 3 people gunned down recently by a perp. w/an AK at a bar around the corner - I found out today. :eek2:

My rental is a RED Dodge Neon. How ironic.:cool:

[Tatom Mack]

oh yea stay away from lliberty city :nono:

Been keeping an eye-out for Ls down here. Haven't seen any for almost 2-weeks and then see 4 Gen. II Ls in two days - White/Silver 01/02 and a Black 03/04 and then a Black 01/02 L w/chrome wheels this morning almost identical to tliss'.

Saw a black Gen. I today, too. Plenty of L posers and ricers abound.:cool:
