Looks like this pay phone in Flamingo Park took a direct hit …

… from what we do not know?
Let’s hope no one was injured while phoning home (to Pisa?).

So I was at  WordCamp/Miami yesterday and went for a little walk with faculty member and English Dept./Teacher Melissa. We found this exhibit at The University of Miami School of Architecture …

The University of Miami School of Architecture and the City of Coral Gables are pleased to host PISA AD1064 – The Square of Miracles: a millennium of culture, an exhibition brought to us from Pisa, Italy, which contains artistic and cultural masterpieces enclosed by the lawns of the Cathedral, the famous leaning Tower, and ‘pieces’ of the square of Miracles.

The exhibition will be free and open to the public at the School of Architecture, Jorge M. Perez Architecture Center, Irvin Korach Gallery, 1215 Dickinson Drive, from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily beginning Saturday, February 13 through Friday, February 26.

The exhibition is brought to us through the generosity of the Opera della Primaziale Pisana, the Consulate General of Italy in Miami and the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce, Southeast. Many thanks are given for the support and assistance of the University of Miami School of Engineering.

I remember sneaking into sound check and listening to A Certain Ratio & New Order … only being caught towards the end, and when asked to leave, I inquired about a guest list. I think they put me + 2 … great night!
