Progress Marches on in Downtown Miami

These days it seems as though changes in Downtown Miami are happening overnight  In some cases they do  While out walking my dogs tonight I noticed two significant changes that I hadnt noticed just the night before  1 The Downtown Miami Pawn Shop has been obliterated  In fact with the exception of some support beams and small overhang from what remains of the gas station the development site of One Thousand Museum is free of all standing structures  2 Miami Worldcenter banners are now wrapped around various fenced off lots marking the parameter of the development site for The Mall at Miami Worldcenter  One of the images on the banner shows a rendering of the upcoming Paramount Miami Worldcenter which is slated to break ground in the second quarter of 2015  It is a very exciting time for this burgeoning neighborhood  Three years from now in many respects Downtown Miami will be unrecognizable
