My friend Pam stayed for the weekend, with her partner Marguerite, and I gave them my tour of Miami – starting with Coral Gables before her reading on Friday. Only minutes after entering the city, Pam pointed out something I had never noticed before. As we left Miracle Mile, and waited in traffic on Coral Way, city hall on the left, a two-story apartment building on the right, Pam said, “I’ve never seen stone shutters before.” And looking over, I saw that the apartment building had what looked like shutters but were inlays of decorative brown stones. It will now be pointed out on every tour.
