Miami: 36 years of change

I decided to send my old roommate some photos of the Miami she hasn't seen since 1977. Photos on the left show what Biscayne Boulevard looked like just north of downtown. The second photo on the left is July 4, 1977 at Bicentennial Park (again viewed towards downtown). The two photos on the right are examples of what some of the buildings look like today. Such a different place than the sleepy place of yesteryear.

Great collage and it's interesting to see the change.

Very impressive to see such change in a relatively short period of time - nice collage

AWesome comparison. I visited Miami once maybe 13 years ago.

@bardejov If I had planned ahead, I could have maybe taken another shot to mimic the one on Biscayne Blvd. All I know is that now I have to keep looking way high to see the tops of buildings, it is so much different!

nice collage.....I remember seeing a couple of the high rise buildings when we drove through Miami in March.
