Re:Miami building
After reading your very strong argument, I now agree with you; the image you took that portrays the entire building is better suited for List of tallest buildings in Miami. The image I added, while probably more aesthetically pleasing, doesn't give a good aspect of the building's unique design. When I first found Image:Bank of America Center Miami.jpg on Flickr, I thought it would be great for the list, but you are right in saying that it doesn't capture the building's unique architecture as nearly as well as Image:Bankofamericatowermiami.jpg. Also, the Flickr image does not seem to "come out" very clear in the list as the image size is so small to begin with; the building may "blend" with the sky too much when its size is so small. Anyway, I have changed the image.

Oh, and this may be a lot to ask for, but as you have taken so many Miami skyline photos, do you think you could get an updated image that presents a perspective similar to that of Image:Miami-skyline-for-wikipedia-07-11-2007-by-tom-schaefer-miamitom.jpg? Your skyline panoramas are great, but due to their size they are unfortunately not suitable for the Miami list's lead. The above-mentioned image portrays the skyline well and is a great size for the lead, but as you stated before, it is outdated. Cheers, Rai • me  23:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I would have done that yesterday, but unfortunately the air is full of particles from the Everglades fire last week and was bad for taking photos. I live within walking distance of the bridge, so hopefully we'll have a good rain soon and I'll be able to grab the opportunity. - Marc Averette (talk) 17:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for keeping this article factual and without the other nonsense that others have put up. Roland's daughter Sally is my grandmother...I know our family appreciates it. 71.71.100.54 (talk) 02:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. The only thing though - you might want to put in a reference.  If an overzealous admin sees the article they might wipe out the stuff that isn't referenced.  I'm sure there's a FL Keys history book that contains the info.  I have several on Key West that I've used in the past.  Also see here  -  Marc Averette (talk) 20:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Downtown/Midtown Miami
Hey, the distinction between Downtown and Midtown is pretty gray, and information specifying its exact borders are also gray. However, there is a Midtown and according to what I have read Midtown corresponds as the area the City of Miami calls "Wynwood" and "Edgewater". Wynwood is everything west of Biscayne Blvd from NE 20th St up to the Design District and Edgewater is everything east of Biscayne Blvd from NE 20th St to the Design District. So, that would mean your realtor is correct, Midtown does technically begin at NE 20th St. Which would make the area east of Overtown (roughly Miami Avenue) and south of NE 20th St all part of Downtown. However, some people would also call the area south of I-195 "Park West", so it can be confusing.

The way I see it is as such:

Brickell: South of Miami River, east of I-95, north of SW 26th Rd. These are the official boundaries set by the City of Miami and includes Brickell Key.

Downtown: North of Miami River, east of I-95 until NW 8th St then it becomes east of Miami Avenue and north up to NE 20th St. Inside this area is the part some people call "Park West", the are just due west of Museum Park and the "Omni" the immediate area you live in.

Midtown: North of NE 20th St, west of I-95 and south of the Design District. This includes Midtown's sub-districts of Wynwood and Edgewater.

I really hope that helps clarify things and I know it's a lot of streets, but it's the best way I can try and explain it. If you have any questions, just let me know. Cheers! --Comayagua99 (talk) 21:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I see.  This map here also shows downtown ending at n 17th Terrace (which would make the Opera Tower the southernmost in Edgewater/Midtown), but it also shows it extending south all the way to Broadway (s 15th rd).  So should the northern part of Brickell be called "the Brickell section of downtown Miami"?  And south of Broadway should be called South Brickell.    - Marc Averette (talk) 21:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Photos for tables
FYI, List of Registered Historic Places in Florida has been completely table-ized. Meaning that there's a spot for an image for every NRHP in the state. So if you have (or can get) any photos to fill in the holes, that would be wondermous. One could always start with List of Registered Historic Places in Miami-Dade County, Florida, could one. I'm working on getting the rest of the state north of Okeechobee. Cheers! :) --Ebyabe (talk) 23:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
