Hi CaySea,
I know that area well. My mother lived near there when I was a kid. Used to go to Tropical Park often. I was born and mostly raised in Hialeah. I went to UM and while I commuted the first 3 years I was finally able to afford to live on campus my last year. Until the last few years, I would go back to UM to recruit engineers twice a year.
Nice to meet another of us very rare natives!
Steve
