Posting this from Wynwood. It feels like Mexico here and nobody speaks English.
Wynwood section of Miami? That used to be the center of the garment district which was very prominent in Miami. I remember they had a great deli type sandwich shop there where the locals would go to shmooze. I also remember a funny incident. There used to be yearly fashion show in which dress manufacturers would have models display the latest styles of dresses. Anyway, when I was about 7 years old they had a show which I think took place on Dinner Key or maybe somewhere else in Miami. My parents knew one of the women modeling the dresses so they took her (and me) to the fashion show.
Long story short. The model and her dress didn't win at the show. I can't remember anything much about that show EXCEPT after the award ceremonies there was a dance and a bleach blonde model who was dancing with a dress manufacturer whose dress she wore started kicking him and screaming at him because apparently she was guaranteed she would win. The dress manufacturer was completely embarrassed by the blonde model who didn't let up and she eventually started punching him and they had to pull her away to save the poor guy (and that is when she revealed she was guaranteed in advance to win by that same dress manufacturer.) My mom couldn't stop talking about that incident on the way home.
A very very Miami memory from that era.

Wynwood, I live in Hollywood. I built a lot of buildings in that neighborhood.
