I Have Been A Miamian For 41 Years...

Beer. Yes I still make MINOR error...nothing close to the TREE thread. Nothing close at all. And for that one I have asked for forgiveness endlessly.

My mistakes now are so insignificant that they do not merit attention.

The important thing is that you believe that. :flowers:

Also, those errors where very likely made in human error.

Well, I'd be surprised if you claimed to be anything but human, so yeah.

So please cast away the loop.

Loop? What loop? I thought loups garous were a Louisiana thing? Miami has serial killers and Cuban gangsters, Louisiana has vampires and werewolves. This is what I was brought up to believe, don't rape it.

Rest assured my friend...Cubans are not gangsters. I'm a Cuban and I know my people. Crooked politicians yes...but gangsters, absolutely not. :lol:

I will add that, sadly, if you plan to visit South Beach, grow eyes in the back of your heads! There are just so many people down here in paradise city that mere words can't expressed the sum. Just walk and talk as if you were a street bad ass (in certain neighborhoods) and you'll return home in one piece.

A friendly tip from Mr. Cuban...Carlos

Don't worry, Miami is not unique in that. All touristic cities are like that, even Amsterdam.

Dunno dude, someone harping about the Good Old Days in their town seems a little, well, clichéd, doncha think? If you persist in proceeding forward then I suggest reading Anthony Bourdain's The Nasty Bits for his essay on his New York of old to see how it's done.

I love Anthony Bourdain, but haven't read anything by him..How is his writing, id love to get a book by him if i ever get out of this epic slump of no books. I imagine his writing is much like the commentary he does on No Reservations..?

It is pretty much like that. I suggest you read in this order:

Kitchen Confidential
A Cook's Tour
No Reservations
The Nasty Bits

He has a new one out called Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. I haven't read it yet though.

So how do I begin such a whirlwind of emotional ups-and-downs into a positive (negative articles will not be published) piece of work?

I suggest you make a list of subjects you want to deal with in this article,then deal with them as a progress or the way the specific subject has changed through the years,how it was and how it is.Not really falling to positive or negative.
