Sure, piloting a huge cruise ship or tanker through open water takes skill, but
even the savviest crew will need help navigating a massive vessel in and out
of a busy port. New Florida meets a Port
Canaveral Harbor Pilot who uses his exhaustive knowledge of shifting sand
bars, delicate reefs and ever-changing weather patterns to bring cruise ships,
tankers and even Trident submarines into port safely.
In many ways, the history of Burdines mirrors
the history of Miami. As the city grew from a pioneer outpost
to a worldwide tourist Mecca, Burdines grew from a simple dry
goods store to a chain of hugely successful multi-story department
stores. But earlier this year, the history of the store and
the city finally diverged when “the Florida store” was
renamed Macy’s. New Florida commemorates
the passing of this Florida institution.
Think of a “typical” Florida
home and a one-story concrete block building with an attached
carport may come to mind. But in the Villages of Coral
Gables, none of the homes fit this description. That’s
because developer George
Merrick set out in the 1920’s to create a series
of unique neighborhoods, each of which would showcase architecture
from a different part of the world.
New Florida’s own Hunter
Reno takes a bicycle tour of this rather odd – and
oddly appealing – part of Miami-Dade County.
Florida is home to more than 900 golf
courses – some of the most beautiful and challenging
links in the country. But what makes one set of 18 holes more
beautiful or more challenging than any other?
New Florida links up with golf
course architect Gene
Bates to learn what it takes to create a golfer’s
paradise.
