More important, Miapolis creates 42,000 construction and 28,000 permanent JOBS.Miapolis will provide constant worldwide exposure of Miami, increasing tourism, international trade, passengers for the airlines, cargo for the Port of Miami and MIA, and benefiting all Downtown by attracting millions of visitors.

Welcome to the 1800 Club Blog

(Click on pic to enlarge)

I have been planning this for over a year and finally it took shape. I think I did manage to put together a decent blog for the benefit of all of the 1800 Club residents.

Hello friends and neighbors, we now have a forum to air our views and opinions. I hope that all the residents of 1800 Club, both owners and renters would use this forum to make a difference and living at The 1800 Club a great experience. Our immediate neighbors adjoining the Pace Park and surrounding areas are also welcome to join and chime in.
I will be periodically posting articles that affect our lifes for good or for bad and hope to create a discussion amongst ourselves.

The articles will be relevant to:

1. 1800 Club & the neighboring buildings such as Quantum, Cite, Paramount, Opera, Bay Parc, Grand, Venetia, Biscayne Plaza etc.
2. Pace Park
3. OMNI and Performing Arts District
4. Design District and Midtown
5. Park West, Downtown, Bayfront Park, Museum Park and AAA
6. Brickell, South Beach & The City of Miami in General.

So If anything of relevance happens between Rickenbacker and Julia Tuttle, East of I 95, you will hear it here from me. If you come across a piece of news that you want me to post here, please e-mail me the link to miamidowntownliving@gmail.com
If you want to air your opinion about our building and its activities, please feel free to do so. Send me your gripe or complaint or that brilliant idea and I will post it as a new post so that everyone can chip in their viewpoint.

Please subscribe to and follow the blog. I am sending it to the initial 40 e-mails I have from the building residents. I am depending on you to forward this blog and the link to your neighbors and friends for a wider participation and success. If you are a new subscriber, please send me an e-mail so that I can update you with any new developments. Thanks.

Enjoy and Live Well.

Baywalk Plan in Cold Storage

(Click on pic for a larger map)

It has been submitted in 2004 for approval. The plan to connect Pace Park, Museum Park and Bayfront park with a pedestrian walkway along the bay is languishing in some file cabinet. This is a must have and must do project for Miami Downtown and its citizens. Please start lobbying the commissioners and the powers that be of how important this project is for Miami and your neighborhood.
