¡Es increíble!

Sometimes with all the new highrises, it's hard to recognize the place. It's nice to see buildings from the '60s and '70s to use as a frame of reference. They're still there! Good to know!

Yes you're right. The name of the entire island is known as Watson Island.
However, I took these pictures from the theme park that is called Parrot Jungle Island

I'm still boycotting the new parrot jungle, so the views are appreciated.

its funny how there is this much construction in Miami when if it wasnt for illegal immigration the population of Miami would be decreasing...

I would move there, if i could afford it. Well maybe one day. I was there 2 years ago before "Marina Blue and 900 Biscayne" had even broken ground. Its amazing to see all the projects going on at the same time. Great city...

It's funny that you aren't intelligent enough to know that not all immigration is illegal and that illegal immigrants aren't spending $500,000 on condos. You must be from Denver or something.
