Circuit City’s departure left a big hole behind that is unsightly and being filled on and off by fly-by-night operations selling Christmas decorations, Halloween supplies etc. If the place was so attractive and booming I am sure high visibility retailers would be fighting over it. Whole foods once rumored to want to erect operations there has apparently scrapped them as well. The number of winos, drunks, drug addicts and panhandlers seems to be exploding. Maybe if we get lucky the whole thing will fly someday but for now, aside from a few small mom and pop cheese & wine places nothing much is happening.

Look forward to reading more from you in the future. I think it will be also nice if you add “send to email” tool so people can forward the articles to their friends easily.

You can’t have all low-income residents, but neither can you have all super-affluent either, and clearly, Midtown is being marketed toward highly-professional, highly-paid individuals. This strikes me as odd because the Miami area doesn’t even have any real fortune-500 companies where developers could –at least — target their execs. So, it’s mostly going to be foreigners who are going to be buying property there, and frankly, if a neighborhood is made up of 50 – 70% foreigners, that’s not a real American neighborhood; rather, it’s just another tourist destination.
