Miami does need this, but it would of been nice to see a 29 acre park in downtown Miami vs more buildings. Also I hope they make money to sustain themselves, so Miamians don't have to fund this place to keep it open.

We did have a 29 acre park where the Museums are currently being built. It was called BiCentennial park and it was ruined after the Miami Grand Prix tore it up for part it's course. Then it became a haven for the homeless when the city didn't return it back into a park & residents avoided it like the plague. The only event that took place afterwards was the Ultra Music festival.
It now has been renamed Museum Park and the park will be landscaped with access to the bay on the east & south side of the park.

That and the Obama rally back in '08, also Cavalia.

I hope the new park space materializes. The City is having big issues with the tunnel expenses and the sewer situation, so there isn't much money for the park. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, I just hope it doesn't become another "Grand Central Park" boondoggle.

I surpassed his artistic talent in the second grade. The guy is a joke, he is probably sleeping with someone that has connections or has pull in the art world. It is the same sh*t over and over again (teddy bears, dogs, cats, hearts and flowers in the coloring book style ). He has no creativity and his style never changes, he never goes through stages. No evolution, emotion, message or increase in talent either and I can go on and on. I have studied, collected and produced art almost my entire life so I feel that I know a little.

except you're sitting on the internet taking pot shots at his work, while he is home figuring out if he should drive his gallardo or the X5 today.
