Some visitors may be more concerned about its soul, but Florida's waterfront jewel has more to offer than notoriety. Just ask its civic saviors. Versace assassinated at the gates of his palace. City swept by waves of corruption.
Prostitutes strut the boulevards.
Maybe, but G-rated dreamers, like everyone else seized by Miami's beauty, keep redeeming the city. In the face of ruin, it's this swerve toward redemption that makes Miami compelling. A game of chicken played for the city's soul and economy that gives the place an edgy cachet, a sexy notoriety unmatched by any other place in Florida. Grown-up tourists love it. It is real life as theater in this most self-absorbed of cities.
