Miami Beach Bike Lanes and Beachwalks

Bike Lanes and Beachwalks Pave the Way for Miami Beach’s Growth and Expansion | Fort Mill Times - Fort Mill, SC: " Infrastructure improvements are taking place all over Miami Beach in a bid to continually upgrade and improve the city for visitors and residents alike. It is a construction geek’s dream, dozens of ongoing projects dotting the Miami Beach landscape and bringing new life to streets, parks, main thoroughfares, tennis courts, piers, parking garages, bridges and tunnels. “Our capital improvement programs have grown through the years with improvements meeting the needs of our residents and raising the bar for our visitors,” says Jeff Lehman, Chair, Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority. “Miami Beach is already an international destination but as our ongoing and major construction projects prove, we are always striving to be bigger on the world stage. Miami Beach is like no other place in the world and the level of private and public infrastructure investment across all channels prove how globally desirable our city has become.”"

Miami Beach homes face teardown or preservation

In Miami Beach, homes face teardown frenzy or preservationist zeal - 12/22/2012 | MiamiHerald.com: " . . . with nearly 2,500 pre-1942 homes left on Miami Beach, that leaves a lot of room for friction with homeowners if the Miami Design Preservation League aggressively pursues its new agenda. Kinerk, the league official, said one of founder Barbara Baer Capitman’s last directives before dying in 1990 was that the league should focus on preserving single-family homes. He said that while cities like Coral Gables have crafted laws to do so, so far Miami Beach has failed. “We have failed Barbara’s directive so far,” he said. “It’s embarrassing.” Kinerk said the league will act quickly to try and designate residential homes historic in order to try and avoid after-the-fact fights like the ongoing battle with the Hochsteins. He said an important home worth saving should be protected regardless. “When should we act?” he asked. “When they’re all gone?”"

Best Haitian Food In Miami

Haitian Food!--

Best Haitian Restaurants In Miami (PHOTOS): "Much like South Florida's much-covered Cuban fare, Haitian incorporate similar tropical tastes and flavors but with more distinct African and French influences. Whether it's the standard-fare appetizers like deep-fried pork called griot (pronounced "GREE-yo") and flattened, fried plantains called banane pesée, or a meal of kidney bean rice and chicken topped with fresh-cut onions covered in sauce, if you're familiar with the tastes of Pollo Tropical, Haitian cuisine will not be too far removed from your palate. But if you're not, be prepared for a taste infusion like one you've never experienced. Check out some of the top Haitian restaurants in Miami . . . "

Seattle looks to Miami for success in art

One measure of success---how others see you:

Seattleites look for success at Miami art fairs | The Arts | The Seattle Times: "When the Affordable Art Fair visited Seattle Center last month, the organizers were keen to point out that our city had not hosted an art fair for many years. So imagine this: Last weekend, in the adjoining cities of Miami and Miami Beach, which even between them have a smaller population than Seattle, you could have visited any one of 24 art fairs all happening at the same time. What these fairs showed almost exclusively, and sold in huge quantities, was modern and contemporary art, or art of the 20th and 21st centuries. As a rule of thumb, the newer the art is, the more of it you’ll find in Miami. At the heart of all of this activity is what many in the art world consider the largest and most important art fair in the world — Art Basel Miami Beach (ABMB), which comprises temporary booths occupied by 250 of the world’s most successful galleries and attracted 70,000 visitors over five days. . . . There was, however, a significant Seattle presence in Miami last week, though to find it you had to take a step down the fairs’ hierarchy. . . . The final measure of success at an art fair is almost entirely commercial. What sells, in this context, is the very measure of what is good. Thus the necessary third element in the Miami mix alongside dealers and artists is the huge international community of art collectors that it attracts. A lot of these people like to keep their heads down, but there were probably more Seattle collectors in Miami last week than Seattle artists and dealers put together. . . ."

Art, design, and business blend beautifully in Miami | SmartPlanet: " At 11:45 AM on a Saturday, lines were forming in front of the Miami Beach Convention Center and the crowd’s excitement was growing. They had shelled out $42 each to attend a much-hyped event, and the eclectic crowd — from mothers pushing strollers to nattily dressed older gentlemen to twenty-something hipsters in skinny pants — were anxiously awaiting for it to begin. Only this wasn’t a concert or a sporting match. It was an art fair: essentially, a trade show in which row after row of cube-like booths are filled with paintings or sculptures that often cost six figures. It wasn’t just any old art fair: it was Art Basel Miami Beach, a 10-year-old annual convention that showcases work by contemporary artists. The most recent edition opened on December 5 and closed on the 9th, and drew more than 250 top art galleries from 31 nations around the world – up from about 160 in 2002. That’s despite growing competition in similar trade-show style art events around the globe. . . . "

The preservation board will have to decide whether or not the building has any historical value to the area. The board received a Miami history lesson at the hearing with different preservationists taking them back in time and talking about the area, back in the 1940s, when it was home to department stores, and then into the 1960s, when the building was built. They spoke specifically about the architectural style of the building, which is known as the Miami modern style or MiMo for short, which has become significant to South Florida. . . ."

Fashion Brands at Art Basel Miami Beach

Fashion Brands Take Over Art Basel Miami Beach | Artinfo: "Art Basel Miami Beach isn’t just about the art. Every year, a number of fashion names descend on Miami to join in the festivities. And with a plethora of well-dressed celebrities, socialites, gallerists, and models in town, it makes perfect sense. On December 5, the Art Basel Miami Beach fashion games begin when Interview magazine and Laure Heriard Dubreuil, co-founder of the hip luxe Miami boutique the Webster, host a special viewing of Valentino’s Pop Pois collection on the store’s roof. Later that night, a film made by photographer Bruce Weber forDior Homme will be premiered at the Moore Building in the Design District at a party with W magazine. And finally, Chanel will sponsor Art.sy’s annual Beachside Barbecue at the Soho Beach House. . . . "

Memo From Miami | Design Now - NYTimes.com: "you couldn’t turn a corner in the big white Snarkitecture-designed tent without bumping into a piece by Jean Prouvé or Jean Royère, not to mention all the Parisian galleries themselves. I did enjoy looking at the furniture that was part of Le Corbusier’s design for the Indian city of Chandigarh at Patrick Seguin’s booth, or a drab-looking metal screen, designed by Prouvé for a gymnasium, which was expected to fetch six figures at Jousse Entreprise. Suzanne Demisch of Demisch Danant made a case for her (New York) gallery’s solo show of Pierre Guariche, whom she said was “a big part of French design history” but who had been “overshadowed commercially” by his aforementioned 1950s peers. Still, if the consensus was that this year’s fair seemed stronger than the previous six, no one was giving the Gauls all the credit. It’s likely that Design Miami owes a good bit of its increasing cool factor to all the contemporary work on view this year. . . ."

Michael Kaiser: Miami Arts on the Move: "Owing to a series of coincidences, I have spent a great deal of time in Miami over the past year. I have completed a two-year teaching program for arts managers of 60 local organizations, I have been consulting with YoungArts, a national organization that gives talented high school students remarkable opportunities to learn and develop and I have been working with Miami City Ballet to create a sustainable financial foundation. In every case, I have been excited and energized by the artistic community in Miami. When one lists the ten largest arts organizations in the ten largest cities in the United States, one notices that Miami is not home to the biggest arts organizations in the nation. Only one, the Adrienne Arsht Center, has an annual budget larger than $30 million. But one should not read too much into these statistics. Miami's arts organizations seem to be on the move, energized by the growth of the city and the diversity of the population. Unlike in many other cities, where the arts are suffering and trying desperately to hold on to audiences and donors, many arts organizations in Miami believe their best days are ahead of them. . . .
