I suspect that most people in the world will travel through or at least wish to travel through Miami in their lifetimes. I think it is on the same level as seeing the pyramids in Giza for many people.

Florida is an awesome place to find sweaters. People buy a really nice sweater for their trips up north, then they just keep it in the closet forever, so you’re finding super nice sweaters down here at the Salvation Army. It’s hard to say no sometimes. Jim Drain Read Quote
