Ready for Season (almost)


Two blocks down from The Palace, on the other side of the Versace Mansion, is a row of Thirties buildings which has been renovated and nearing completion. The are striking, stark white against the (usually) blue sky and look directly over the Atlantic. Everyone is quite excited about season which, for businesses like us start in a week or two.

But I like to stroll down Ocean Drive still, observing the old buildings, thinking of how wild it was in The Thirties to how wild it is now. Probably not all that much different if you factor in societal and moral changes. People always come to the tropics to have fun.

Uncle Alexis,

I noticed them the last time I was there! They are totally swanky and amazing looking. Sigh, gives new meaning to the term "a room with a view" :-)

Love Always,
Nephew Jesse
