While all looks rosy and robust along Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road and Collins Avenue in South Beach Miami, a few steps off the tourist route reveals overt signs of the second Great Depression. The locale was one of the hardest hit in 2007.Those hotels without vistas and views have, quite simply, closed their doors, boarded up and are in a sad state of decay.
I wonder if it's recession or if the number of updated upscale ocean view hotels have substantially increased in numbers to meet S.B. tourists' needs. Those off the strip joints are very funky. I think visitor expectations have changed. Why stay in a outdated dump?
