The reference was to the amount of Spanish you hear in the Miami area would make it hard to see much difference between Multi plaza and Dadeland. It also was accompanied by to indicate that is was not a complaint but rather just a fun aside thrown in.

When I lived in west Kendall and shopped at the Publix's in Lakes of the Meadow frequently I would never hear a word of English spoken from the time I walked in the door until the time I walked out the door. Again, not complaining just stating facts that those who are not familiar with South Florida might not be aware of how predominately Hispanic some areas are.

Kendall Lakes? Dadeland? Why not Key Biscayne, or the Miracle Mile or shopping on Brickell? Viva Ocho Calle! Little Havana, the Grove etc. it's all the US. Go shopping CR style and have fun!

Last I knew Key Biscayne had limited shopping. Miracle Mile was the place to go maybe 30 years ago. You know when the Douglas road anchor store was Sambo's not Denny's . Brickell, Calle Ocho, the Grove for an upscale mall Get real.

I used Dadeland as an example because it was the first real mall in Miami and has undergone many additions and renovations to keep it a class A mall. If you want to disagree with my choice at least use an example that is upscale like Adventura Mall or Village at Merrick Park. That talking upscale.
