Wynwood, a neighborhood in Miami, reminds me a little bit of OTR. Except Wynwood was an industrial neighborhood that sat abandoned until artist began moving in and recreating the place. Redevelopment began happening in the early 2000s and there are many high-end retailers although they are a little spread out.
The big attraction is the street art.

The streetcar despite obstructions from city leadership continues to chug along recording its one-millionth rider over the weekend.
I wonder how many more people would ride if they could actually purchase tickets, as of last Saturday I still see people struggling with the ticket machines. But even with those issues, the streetcar is doing its job development wise with over $657 million in new investment on the route. That is just the money I know about, I'm sure I've missed a rehab or two.

John S. and James L. Knight Building was completed and dedicated in 2007 after I moved from NE Ohio and I never got a chance to check it out. The last trip back I had some free time and finally made it up to see it. While I was too late to visit any exhibits I did walk around the outside to take it all it.
I love how it seemingly has its arms thrown wide in a welcoming manner while at the same time embracing and shielding older surrounding buildings. Amazing stuff in a rustbelt city.

I know the fish fry season is over but I couldn't let it go without talking about Bridgetown Finer Meats. This year we had some really good fish, good enough that I wondered if maybe a couple of the churches had caught up to Bridgetown. But we wouldn't know until Good Friday. Well, I shouldn't have wasted too much thought on it, as I took the first bite of Bridgetown's gigantic sandwich I was amazed that I never remember just how good they are. I know it's not fair to compare a volunteer dinner with trained professionals, but there it is.
Jenni's Homemade Cookies is at the other end of the plaza, and there is a wine tasting happening next door. A stop here is an entire date night.
Set yourself a reminder for next year, if you have never had one of Bridgetown's fish sandwiches you are truly missing out on one of the finer things in life.
