STL CDPB On The Road: Party On In Miami Beach


There are many old buildings undergoing restoration as hotels and condos in the South Beach district of Miami Beach. One of them, with the un-Florida name The Clevelander, is right up on Ocean Avenue and marketing itself with traditional Miami techniques. Party on, dude.

TOMORROW: The most somber place in Miami Beach.

STL CDPB On The Road: The Penguin

If someone were to say to me, "The penguin!", I would immediately think of:

A. Monty Python: "There's a penguin on the television!"

B. The Blues Brothers: the Penguin was the nun who ran the orphanage where Jake and Elwood were raised; or

C. Some Batman movie.

This version is a Miami Beach hotel on Ocean Avenue. I guess penguins do fly south for the winter. There were damn well none out on the street on this June day.
