Many aspects of South Miami’s history are entwined with the University of Miami, abutting the city to the east. Founded in 1925, the campus is well worth visiting, and I’ve saved extra space for key attractions like the Lowe Art Museum and the Watsco Center. For live performing arts you’ve got the Ring Theater, where actors like Sly Stallone and Ra...
A minute or two down US 1 and you’ll come to this cavernous mall, dating back more than 60 years. Naturally the Dadeland Mall has witnessed a variety of expansions and refits since then. Today there are upwards of 160 tenants, and a recent addition when I was in town was the AC Hotel Miami Dadeland. For an idea of the shopping scene, you’ve got hig...
Occupying a triangle bounded to the west by US 1 and crossed by Sunrise Drive, South Miami has an historic downtown that warrants some exploration. What appeals to me most about Downtown SoMi is the dining scene. In the space of just a couple of blocks there’s an enticing buffet of international cuisines. All are locally owned businesses, on a spec...
In the 1990s this large lifestyle center opened next to South Miami’s historic downtown. At a time when outdoor malls are booming, I have no trouble seeing the potential The Shops at Sunset Place. All the same, there were a few vacant storefronts when I took a look around, and the complex had just been sold at a massive loss for Simon Property Grou...
One of the great university art museums can be found on the UM campus. Founded in 1950, the Lowe Art Museum has a sensational collection, with selections spread across 14 rooms. You’ll see a bit of everything including ancient antiquities, Asian Art, Renaissance and Baroque painting, Indigenous American pottery, and contemporary glass and ceramics....
UM’s men’s and women’s basketball teams play their home games at this 7,972-seat arena, which opened in 2004. Both programs are formidable, making regular NCAA tournament appearances, and with numerous men making it to the NBA. The year I wrote this article the women had made the Elite Eight, while the men went all the way to the Final Four. The ar...
For two days in February, South Miami’s premier annual event is an arts extravaganza in the heart of the historic downtown. When I wrote this article, the South Miami Rotary Arts Festival was coming up for its 40th edition. With free admission, this is a multifaceted celebration of the arts, with the work of 120+ artists on show along Sunset Drive....
With many feathers in its cap, this treasured public park is just past South Miami’s western boundary. In Miami’s Westchester neighborhood, Tropical Park was actually a racetrack from 1931 up to the 1970s. Horses still have a place at the park, with a premier equestrian center, which hosts dozens of shows each year. Elsewhere there’s a multitude of...
I had never heard of him before I came to South Florida, but the botanist and plant explorer, David Fairchild (1869-1954) made an enduring impact on American life. He is credited with introducing some 200,000 exotic plants to these soils, among them bamboos, soybeans, mangos, and nectarines. In 1938 some wealthy friends established this splendid bo...
I could spend a whole vacation touring the many botanical gardens around South Miami. There’s another great one, by the bayfront, just east of the city. A great partner for the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, this was Fairchild’s private estate from 1916 until his death. One of the things that makes this place so compelling is that he planted ma...
