Art Deco Miami Style

Hiya Gang,

Little Fox here, trotting along Ocean Drive in Miami's South Beach.   I'm hoping that my pal Sandy hosts another Art Deco contest as there is a ton of Art Deco in Miami and maybe, just maybe I can win an honorable mention in his contest.

Ocean Drive is the main strip where Art Deco lives.  First up is the Majestic Hotel. Notice the bold lines,.  No ornemntation htat is often associated with Art Deco but there is so much to explore.
Up next is the 1938 Essex Hotel.  The picture the roommates took sucks but it has port holes on the upper floors.  

More bold lines and geometric shapes,
 
These two were the roommates favorites

The roommate likes yellow and pastel colors and was thrilled to see the cool colors. The rounded corners are a neat touch - more portholes in the windows.



Next up is the former building for Jerry's deli (any relation to Jerry and Ben in Mn?).  Now it's a clothing store (Senior Frogs) not to be confused with the bar and restaurant chain popular in Mexico.
So much more Art Deco to share - but I'm saving them for the next contest - hint hint....
