The Best Landmarks in Miami

The Freedom Tower, the yellow building that stands out west of the Bayside Market place, was Miami’s first skyscraper built in 1925 as the Miami News where the city’s first newspaper was published. After Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba in 1959 nearly 300,000 Cuban exiles passed through this building when they fled the island. It became a symbol of their newfound freedom, a Cuban Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty and is popularly known today as The Freedom Tower.

I'm a West Coast girl with much love for Miami! I love Miami, I love the diversity of Latinos here, being from Cali you just mainly come across Mexicans and Central Americans but in Miami you get that and so much more. I love the Cuban influence and especially the yummy food. Miami is beautiful, I love South Beach and I love the Port of Miami. Cruising out of this gorgeous city is simply awesome, the priceless view you get of SoBe when you are sailing out is just devine. I often think of moving to this fine city but the HEAT just gets to me very quickly. I often dream of your lovely cafe con leches because you can't find them here in SF. I also love the people watching opportunities.

This building is absolutely gorgeous. It's an old Miami style building. I went for a job interview here. Even though there are a lot of floors it seems like a very private and intimate building. There is a security as you walk in in, however there is no need to check in if you know where you are going you can walk on through. The parking was extremely limited. There is only street parking in front of the building, which I was lucky enough to get, and there are some garages near by which are a little further.
