[Chicago3rd]

The construction alone in downtown Miami is breath taking! I probably have captured only 15-20% of all the projects going up!!! And I live in Chicago...so to get me all bothered.....about cranes and high rises going up is hard to do...but Miami did it!

Lots of activity for sure.That pic under the train track is awesome.

[bobdreamz]

was waiting for these Chicago3rd! I see you made it onto our peoplemover & Metrorail which gives great views of downtown. Sorry the weather didn't cooperate more since it's usually sunny in January. Thanks for the pics.

[Serge]

Hot damn, they build so much down there...
Nice pictures too...

Miami - Jan
Toronto - Jenn

Miami never seems to fail me, great pics, like the gloomy thing going on.

[goldstar133]

Aamazing city!

[Urbanguy]

Damn that's a lot of construction! Great views of the city too. :)

[nygirl1]

Yeah Miami looks damn good.

That was the cloudiest day. And it was nice and warm and our coolest day 79F. After that we spent more time at the beach and south beach and had great weather!

It was while on the people mover that I saw all the construction not seen in these pictures. The windows though were really dirty so I couldn't get shots of all the started highrises.

I don' know the building, but it is just north of the 4 seasons on Brickell...has the nice concave dip in it center (completed in 2004). What is up with all the broken windows?

That would be Espirito Santo Plaza. It was severely damaged during the 2005 hurricane season (by Katrina and Wilma specifically) and still hasn't had all of it's glass reinstalled.

im glad you enjoyed miami, im also from chicago, well to be exact, from gurnee illinois, but currently i love in miami. One thing though, I will never like downtown miami over beautiful downtown chicago

[OhioGuy]

Miami's lookin good! Thanks for the great pics. :)

[brickell]

Don't usually see these views in tourist shots. Well done.
Coconut Grove station is my stop for work. It's a pedestrian's nightmare, but you do get some great sunsets while you wait.

Great photos and I am sure Miami is a wonderful city but there is something odd to me about it. Something about it feels disconnected... I think it has something to do with the elevated train, but hey, I am all for mass transit. I really like this picture:
