Melody Lane…then.

I couldn’t go shoot the Melody Lane building now. It’s a tough part of the world to visit. Can’t bear the destruction of Clements’ Mullen & Bluett. The loftivization of Desmond’s. The open pit that is Coulter’s.

Developers in cahoots with the Miracle Mile Association delight in tearing down original Modern strutures and replacing them with faux-Miami-Deco. What gives?

A shot of the Mile in happier times, despite the flames that lay in wait for the Melody Lane.
