I’ve been saving this response blog post for last.
This post goes out to my classmate Nicki of “Fabulous-N-Favored,” in response to a post she wrote back in February titled “DC > Miami.”
Now, before I begin, I would like to say that I obviously love DC. I don’t think I would ever go as far as to say that it’s better than Miami. They’re two very different cities.
Yah won't find one of these guys in Miami, that's for darn sure!
Anyway, where was I.. oh yes. So being from Miami, I was definitely a little taken aback by many of the claims made in this post. So I thought I would take a little time here and clear some things up.
I know I know don’t tell me… I’m SO Miami 😉
Ok so, first and foremost Nicki, why on earth would you want to live on South Beach? That’s like living in Las Vegas and saying you want to live right on the strip. No one from Miami actually lives there! Unless they work there… or have like a gajillion dollars lying around. It’s super expensive and full of tourists.
If you actually lived in Miami, you would probably only go to Miami Beach for a day trip or a crazy night on the town.
When people say they grew up in Miami, or lived in Miami, chances are about 8 times out of 10 they didn’t live anywhere remotely close to South Beach. Miami has several beautiful areas, much like DC has its own unique neighborhoods.
South Miami -- Sunset Place Mall
Coconut Grove -- Coco Walk Shops
Coral Gables -- The Biltmore Hotel
Obviously, at the end of the day every city has its pros and cons. However, if there’s anything you should know about Miami, it’s that only people from Miami are allowed to hate on Miami!!
