Miami: A Short Story

Jacksonville and Miami while both in Florida are still very different. Having vacationed in Miami a lot while living in Jacksonville the difference between the two are abundant. The cities are only a 5-hour drive apart from each other but with all their differences they seem like a different world. Some of the main difference I noticed while visiting Miami was the night life, the beaches, and the amount of Spanish spoken in the two cities.

Jeannette Walls was in a taxi wondering if she had been overdressed for the evening.She was stuck in traffic when she saw her mother Rose 15 feet away. Her mother had tied rags around her shoulder while a black and white terrier mix was beside her. When Rose looked up, Jeannette panicked and thought her mother would see her and shout her name and that someone from the party would spot them together.

Jeannette called her mother's friend and left a message, this was the way she would

The final planned section of the Little Miami Scenic Trail opens May 1 for walking, jogging or running, biking, and in-line skating. The Little Miami rail trail is a paved trail that follows the abandoned railroad route of the Little Miami Railroad from Milford (east of Cincinnati) to Springfield. For most of the trail’s length, a grassy strip runs beside it for horseback riding and runners and walkers who want to feel ground below their feet!. The trail is crossed by a number of roads, but only a few blocks of the trail in Xena share the road with cars. Ample parking is provided at each end of the trail, with numerous access locations along its route. Restrooms, restaurants, and picnic facilities are also available at intervals along the trail.

The story of Miami begins more than 10,000 years ago with a settlement of Paleo-Indians along the edge of south Biscayne Bay near today’s Charles Deering Estate. Many millennia later, Tequesta Indians entered the lush, subtropical area and built settlements stretching from the Florida Keys to Broward County, with the largest concentrations along the north bank of the Miami River and on Key Biscayne.

Miami starts with Paleo-Indians settling then numerous years later, Tequesta Indians came and settled all the way from the Keys to Broward County with the largest population density along the part of the Miami River and Key Biscayne. After the Spanish arrived in 1513, the lifestyle of the Tequesta Indians deteriorated. The Spanish introduced disease and war which wreaked havoc on the Tequesta Indians. After a mere 250 years of the arrival of the Spanish, the Tequestas and other native populations in Florida were nearly gone. In 1821, Florida was sold to the United States of America for five million dollars in Spanish damage claims against the American government. After a year Florida became a territory which signified the beginning of its journey

During the year of 1845 a modern day marvel was completed. This feat of modern engineering allowed people and goods alike to travel from the Great Lakes to the Ohio River on a moderately quick and cost effective route. To be completely specific the name of this route would later be known as the Miami Erie Canal. Notably, the canal is known for being the driving force behind the economy and growth in the majority of small towns along the canal. For this reason the canal should be celebrated for its contributions to the development of northwest Ohio.
