When I lived there in the early 80s, Miami was truly and international city. The population back then was about 1/3 Anglo, 1/3 Hispanic, 1/6 Black, and 1/6 Haitian. Of the Hispanic population, there were significant Columbian, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan populations. In the Black population there were also a good sized African community, particularly Nigerian. In addition, in the Anglo community, there were significant Canadian, German, and French groups. At the time I lived there, there were more international banks in Miami than anywhere else in the United States, including NYC, Chicago, and San Francisco. At that time, Miami was one of the most awesome places I ever had lived. There was something to do all the time. We could go to a 3 or 4 star restaurant every evening and not repeat for months-the cuisine was incredible-Indian, Spanish, Columbian, Argentinean, Cuban, Hungarian, French, Belgium, Thai, .

Miami is South Florida. While it has a population of Yankees, native Floridians, and immigrant Caribbean islanders and Central Americans, it's still Floridaa and American. Florida has other multi-ethnic areas: Tarpon Springs and St. Augustine come to mind. A. Leon Polhill, Gator "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.

If there were, the fact that Yeehaw Junction is south of it would NOT make Y.J. South Florida, either. Come to think of it, Key West isn't South Florida. A.
