as a relatively younger miami native, born & raised, i’ve gotta say that-locally-coral gables is recognized as a part of miami. i understand not technically, geographically, but if anyone from the cities of coral gables, kendall, doral, westchester, flagler, opa-locka (to name a few) were to be asked where they are from, they would uniformly announce, without hesitation, “miami!” lol it’s funny, the other day i was on a date with a girl who just moved to ft. lauderdale from the midwest. we were meeting at a bar in kendall. she said to me “i really thought we were going to meet in miami” and i said “this is miami!” when she asked me to explain i said “to everyone not from here, miami is exclusively downtown; south beach, etc. but everyone *from* here knows that the character, the charm, the identity of the city as you know it is made up from certain cities that surround it. its essence is imported from within and it doesn’t come from those who live on beach front properties or posh alton road apartments-those are the rich & affluent who don’t shape the culture of miami as much as they simply sunbathe in it. the “look” of miami may be downtown by the beaches, but the spirit of miami is going upward & outward of that” this was a really great video by the way! thanks for this.
Your videos are really well researched and well produced. I appreciate the great effort that must go into them. I came for the ViewMaster aspect, but I stayed for the history. Cheers!
I have my old black View Master still. This the Miami #165 reel. I am following along with your video! I have maybe 15 reels. This is one of my favorite childhood things.
Matheson Hammock park was also where scenes from There’s Something About Mary and Paul Newman in Absence of Malice were filmed. My grandparents home was just a few blocks away, and when I was a child we went to this park often.
Great video! New subscriber here, learned about your channel from two other travel creators - Steve from Sidetrack Adventures, and John from Travel With a Wiseguy. Has anyone told you you sound a little like John Malkovich?
Fascinating watch once again (I just end up repeating myself I know). I wonder how many people know about the history, and care. We all should learn from the past, so kudos for going into the history, and so much detail.
Great stuff. Always looking forward to the next episode. Good work with the Seminole historical info. For ViewMaster enthusiasts reel #174 Seminole Indians and the Everglades, Florida has some nice views.
I also have Sp-9053 - I wonder if that's the same? It has everglades and Seminole people. I considered using it, but didn't think I could match any of the images on it :-)
Bro. I’m born and raised in Miami. All of this is Miami. Miami isn’t just the downtown area or south beach. All the places you’re talking about is in MIAMI DADE county. 😂
@@viewmastertravels5114 Was that actually you talking? You have a peculiar diction, or way of talking, my friend. haha It's something along the lines of what I'd hear while listening to an Orson Wells broadcast back in the day! lol Honestly, it's just my opinion, you don't have to change anything. But if you're looking for something, what I'd do (and what I plan to do for another channel), is to look for voice actors to read your script on Fiverr. Instead of paying an Ai service to make those robotic ai voices monthly or yearly, just pay a professional on Fiverr. They're super cheap, and usually only charge by the 'thousands of words'. I think a Fiverr person is better cuz you can pay for them as needed, instead of paying an Ai company a flat rate monthly or yearly. Which is a waste, if you're not publishing videos regularly.
I was born and raised in Miami. None of this history was taught to the locals. So very interesting.
Interesting! Thanks for the comment 😊
Might I ask what school? Because I was.certainly taught most of this in high school down here

That’s great, sounds fun! They’re still fun to collect 😊
Good work Dude. Very Interesting.

Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Very cool channel! Watching this before my Miami trip!
Awesome! Have a fun trip!
Save your money.
This is so friggin cool!!
😊
I got married at Matheson Hammock Beach! Very cool
Wow, that’s cool. Very pretty place for a wedding.
Wow, this is really fantastic! Really keeps your attention with all the research. Excellent editing and narration too, great job!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

All those city's are inside Miami Dade County... so yes that's Maimi.
That’s exactly what I said. The moment he started saying “this isn’t Miami” I’m like yeah you not from Miami dude. 😂

You do a great job on researching for your videos. I see that your channel is growing, hope that you get to 1K subscribers soon.
Thanks for the video
Thanks, I hope so too.
He's past the 1K mark!

This voiceover....it's kinda worse than even an Ai voice.
Guess I’ll have to hire an AI next time! Any recommendations?

Yep, it's me :-). The VO is kind of hard - some people complain if it's too fast, too slow, all that - really hard to get good.
I dont wanna hate. I wish you the best. Decent start at a video. But get your facts straight and do a little more HW before you post a video bro.
Man Miami is freaking boring. Hate it here.
