I've been coming to this park for years to get a cardio walk…read more It has a Great walking or running path that's along the open grassy field. Along the path you can find exercise stops. Sometimes certain weekends or evenings you will see the kids are paying the soccer or football leagues or even practicing on the empty fields. Usually you can find easy parking to your desired area unless there's a big sports tournament. ( happened to me once) The park has a community center, shaded play area for the kids, score board, basketball court, tennis court, few picnic tables around the kiddy play area, vending machines and clean restroom. Shaded stands and trees for parents and guest to sit and watch the games. The park is well kept... grass is cut and workers are always seen keeping the area tidy. Few tress in the park are dedicated to the passing of some loved ones. So that makes it special to me. Oh I just remembered that they have a hall that you can rent for special events. I attended a birthday event there once and the room was clean and spacious. It did not smell stuffy and old. So that's a plus.

The historic Ward Rooming House is located in the Overtown neighborhood of Miami which was…read moreincorporated as a colored neighborhood in 1896 during segregation. It was the place where Henry Flagler's black railroad workers lived while building the infrastructure of Miami. Overtown is the second oldest neighborhood in Miami. During the 1920's, it was home to D.A. Dorsey, one of the first black millionaires in the south. After WWII it became the epicenter of black culture and was known as the Broadway of the South. Many famous entertainers stayed here when performing in Miami like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Nat King Cole. In the 1950's, the area suffered an economic decline and in the 1960's many residents were displaced by the construction of I-95. Almost 40 percent of the people live in poverty. The Ward Rooming House was built in 1925 by Shaddrack Ward who came to Miami from Key West in 1894. The building has Conch style elements like the porches and building symmetry. It also has Mediterranean Revival influences including the ornamental brackets along the arches of each bay as and the stucco finish. The Ward Rooming House offered accommodations to out-of-town Blacks and Native Americans who were not welcome at other hotels in Downtown Miami during the first half of the 20th century. Many Bahamian immigrants who came to build the infrastructure of Miami stayed here. Today the building has been restored. It is currently used as Ward Rooming House Gallery, under the direction of Hampton Art Lovers. The building is used to host art exhibitions. Across the street from the rooming house is another historic Overtown building, the D.A. Dorsey House which was once owned by Miami's first black millionaire. Both of these buildings are around the corner from the hot new restaurant Red Rooster Overtown which pays tribute to the history of the area on its walls. So much history here and new and exciting things happing in the future. Overtown is poised to become a southern Harlem.

Para confirmar y no darnos el viaje por gusto, llamamos por teléfono y nos atendió Paul, con mucha paciencia y amabilidad nos informó que el libro estaba en hold pero iba a averiguar si encontraba otra copia. La llamada se cortó y Paul nos llamó de vuelta para informarnos que estaba en una lista de espera. Paul me ayudó y me sugirió a bajar la copia online. Excellent service! I live in Kendall and was looking for a book that the system indicated was available only at this location. To confirm--and avoid making the trip for nothing--we called ahead and were assisted by Paul. With great patience and kindness, he informed us that the book was currently on hold, but offered to check if he could locate another copy. The call got disconnected, but Paul called us right back to let us know that the book was on a waiting list. Paul was very helpful and suggested that I download the online version instead.

Beautiful library located close to Aventura Mall. We stopped by here after lunch at Eataly…read more My fellow Yelper Shula R. mentioned this library got a complete makeover. It's a gorgeous library with a very clean and modern vibe. It's only one level and has more tables and chairs for sitting and study areas than they have books. Haha. Regardless, it's a beautiful space with tons of natural lighting and super spacious. There is a children's book area all the way in the back of the library too. The librarians here are very nice and helpful. I snagged two books from the small book sale area in the corner upon entry. Cost is $2 for hardcovers and $1 for paperbacks. Please keep in mind they only accept cash.

The staff, especially the lady at the front desk, is always extremely rude. When I asked about…read moremuseum passes, she was dismissive like I was inconveniencing her. When I had follow up questions, she responded condescendingly, as if I should already know. The other lady I interacted with also at the front desk I guess wasn't as rude but just seemed bothered with my son. He was next to me just looking around and sort of walking, not making any noise or even speaking she quickly told him to stay still because this wasn't a place to walk? I've also been for the children's programs they have two, one on Mondays for smaller children up until three years old and then they have one on Wednesdays for children three till five I believe. The one on Wednesday was terrible they put the children in a tiny room with barely any space and all they do is give them a piece of paper to color and that's pretty much it. The gentleman who was in charge was very kind though, complete opposite from the staff upfront. I'll never understand why people who hate customer service decide to work at front desks...

Hi All, this place is very nice except for some people who gets too loud at times! However, I do…read morefeel some people don't get the concept of being pin drop silent at a library. I was on a look out for a quiet place where I could work with better internet connectivity. Unfortunately this is second such spot where it was difficult to find an internet connection expect for a hard two bar connection. Later, I realised that it had to do with my laptop which was quite old and had just 2.5 ghz of wifi connectivity. Whereas, nowadays it's all about 5 ghz. So, my bad! I would definitely recommend this place and do not go for the sign boards at the parking as anyone wishing to spend time at this library has the privilege to park your vehicle for free of cost. This library is well arranged as all the furniture's are aesthetically placed based on user requirements. They do have small kiosks for working or studying in groups too. The library management system in this country is thumbs up!

I came here yesterday for a business meeting and was thoroughly impressed about the upgrades…read more I grew up and still live in this area and to see one of our buildings get a much needed upgrade is great. I don't know who was responsible but somebody does not play. That was the quickest construction project I've ever seen. This building offer a lot of services. You can pay your water bill or check out the library while you're waiting for your number to be called. There is also a clerk of courts office here and a cute little cafe. All on the ground level. The upper levels (I am assuming) are for other matters such as elected officials office and the such. Another thing that was added with the new construction was a parking garage. Parking used to be a bit challenging in the past and I think some people (me included) just didn't feel safe there. All of that has since changed. I haven't had to come to the Jospeh Caleb center outside of business which doesn't require me to frequent it that often outside of once a year. I am happy about the change and look forward to seeing more changes in the future as this is a great area to live in!
