SOUTH BEACH

In Miami, there lies a prosperous, growing area that lies right next to the beach. This area has been developed into one of the most exciting cities to visit today. South Beach has grown very rapidly to become a major tourist attraction of the United States and many other areas such as Europe and Latin America. 

South Beach is built in art deco form so the surrounding buildings are very interesting to look at when there. Art Deco was first created during the Weimar War Era in Europe, Flourishing throughout the 20s and 30s influencing architecture and many other areas of design. The characteristics of art deco such as, pastel colors, and streamlined rectilinear forms developed out of more ornate French art. These designs were used to attract rich clients to a not yet popular area so they would be able to develop that area. 
As this area progressed, more and more people came to visit this area. When the people started to come, then several businesses that saw this as a profit-making venue decided to open up businesses there. One business that has prospered from this area is the clubs and the nightlife. South beach has become known for its nightlife and has attracted several people. The nightlife attracts several thousands of people ranging from 18-80 having such things to do such as clubbing, fine dining, or just relaxing. Businesses that have opened up have also aided in the boom of the hotel rental around there. 
Even now this area continues to grow at a rapid rate and it has the potential because of the location and the weather to be a very premier place to stay and a nice place to visit.

  1. Reading the first few words, where South Beach stood out, made me immediately read the blog. Having lived the last ten years of my life in South Florida, I of course have been several times to South Beach. I have even partied in the clubs there on the weekends, and the environment is great.
    The art Deco you talk about is a great topic, my father always speaks about it as we drive by the beaches of the wonderful city. The buildings have the impressive architecture, the art, and everything is wonderful, including the business as you state. Great pick
