Give us the promised park at 'Parcel B" next to the American Airlines Arena - not another waterfront museum

Downtown Miami, Florida


The slick county politicians promised the residents of Miami that a park would be built on 'Parcel B' east of the American Airlnes Arena and next to Biscayne Bay.

Now the slick county politicians want to build yet another museum on 'Parcel B', a Cuban Exile museum, which would further block the view of the bay.

Open space parks are far more attractive than massive concrete buildings right on the waterfront. Read more at:
