One of my friends is from Miami. He grew up in Miami and lived in Baltimore before coming to Vancouver. I always asked him why? I loved Miami when on vacay. Keys, loved it too. Ft. Lauderdale, loved it especially during spring break.
Then the second time around, the wife and I rented a car and drove around quite a bit and then saw how run down the area was.
We recognized alot of Miami from shows like Hogan knows best and other Miami based shows. They did a lot to hide the crappy areas and only showed the nicer parts of town. Sorta like The real House wives of Vancouver. They went to the Bourdon Country Bar but didn't show a block away was the DTES skid row.
