We've been talking about that Reggie, Blue and I but nothing has come of it. <br /><br />It's funny in all the years I lived in Miami (Key Biscayne) I never heard of a party being given there. Maybe because no one could find it! The big events were usually destined for Vizcaya. Now there's another place for a great party but too big and costly for our little group. Let's follow up. Fall would be great anywhere!lindaraxahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721286284279902181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4390485471778959088.post-76030040630434579082011-06-29T10:19:35.703-05:002011-06-29T10:19:35.703-05:00TPoC, the top platform must have been fifty feet a...TPoC, the top platform must have been fifty feet above the water!John J.

The facility can be rented in the evening after closing. What a great site for a party!<br /><br />Terry, the website for the pool in Decatur does not show any Venetian decor but says it dates from 1931. Normally, I would not associate Venice with swimming! (Pollution must not have been such an issue back then).<br /><br />M., you would really appeciate the layout of Coral Gables and the numerous landmarks. I loved the site of the house for sale in Coral Gables recently featured in your blog; it had its own private beach!John J.

I am embarrased to say that in all the time I lived in Miami I never got out to take a closer look.
