Got to try a simulation of Miami’s first observation deck coming in 2031 as part of Delano Residences & Hotel in downtown. Visitors will be treated to insane views of Miami, the bay and Miami Beach from 872 feet up on the 83rd floor🔥 Filmed this at their sales center, located right where this tower will be built a block north of Waldorf Astoria. Same developer too (PMG)

Wow. Just looked at the Google ensembles for the first time this morning. We could have a situation here. This is a big change from yesterday. These images are 5 days out.

Flagship AIFS model shows development of a Tropical Storm or Hurricane in the Bay of Campeche with acceleration into Florida panhandle -- Saturday. Currently 70% chance -- but looks "baked in the cake"

South Florida outdoors is more than beaches. Trails, parks, water, wildlife, and hidden corners are what make the region worth exploring again.

Good route planning in the Keys means knowing when to stop. The drive is too good to treat as dead time.

A Keys road trip should not be a race from Key Largo to Key West. The islands work better when each section gets its own pace.

The best Keys road trip is paced by stops, not miles. Let the road breathe.

The Overseas Highway is not just a way to reach the Keys. It is the trip. Bridges, water, old rail history, pull-offs, and changing light do most of the work.

Key West punishes overplanning. Pick a few anchors, then let the side streets do some work.

Key West is mythic because it sits at the end of the road. But the best trip is still built with restraint: walk more, drive less, and leave space for the strange edges.
