Hello West Miami!

by bajunajewelry

 

Good Grief!  Its hot here!  My dad moved us to Homestead Florida for his retirement from the Air Force in 1975.  I was 13 and didn’t think 80% humidity was even possible!

I love the motley Miami culture I now belong to.  What a fun…. ok FUNNY… bunch of people!  I am amazed at how people get by over here and some by pure genius!   I am amazed at what they have to do to survive, their inventions, their artwork and their just plain being silly!

If it sounds like I am poking fun at other people and their different way of doing things you are absolutely right!  You know who you are and you know you would laugh too!

Look at this Cadillac!  I found it in my Winn Dixie parking lot at SW 67 Ave. & SW 8th Street.  Most of the chrome looks all original except for the really cool chrome or stainless steel drawer handles that were meticulously mounted up and down the sides and front and back of this fantastic car!  The workmanship is awesome!  Is he a cabinet-maker by trade?  Or just an excentric that really, really, REALLY,  loves handles?  Hey, maybe these are love handles!  Anyways, I really think this old Caddy is grand!  It’s well taken care of without even a spec of rust!  If I ever meet the owner, I’ll fill you in on his version of the story for this car!
