in defense of Coral Gables

Tuesday morning and I still can't get over that line about Coral Gables - one of the wealthiest, most pristine places in South Florida. How can someone writing about a city (in this case Miami) - for the New York Times no less - be so clueless?

The word that got me on first reading that Coral Gables is "a lushly decayed residential neighborhood" was "decayed," because of course there is nothing decayed about the place. Just as there is (almost) nothing accurate about the line. Coral Gables is not a neighborhood; it is a city, separate from Miami. It has residential neighborhoods (none of which are crumbling) but it also has a thriving downtown sprinkled with tall buildings and elegant shops (including one of the country's best independent bookstores). The main street, Miracle Mile, is, like the rest of the business district, decidedly not lush; it is quite dense and built-up, albeit in Mediterranean Revival style. That's Mediterranean Revival, not Mediterranean Decayed.

This is seriously very good- Your website is extremely good, but
I simply have to acknowledge, if your internet site was a man or woman; I would enhance
you just by saying I had let you gain access to the whitened part of the
Oreo… Thanks a lot plus continue this great job.

Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed
to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about
worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out
the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

blown head gasket repair cost

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to
another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.

Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get
a lot of spam comments? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you
can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me crazy so any help is very much appreciated.
