THE MIAMI MIRROR
The Holidays are a sad time for many people because they are supposed to be happy and are
not very happy at all. They may feel sorry for themselves because they do not have family or
good friends, not understanding, because they do not have them, that some of the unhappiest
people in the world do have them.
The tragedy is worse for the lonely in big cities like New York when the winter is cold and dark.
Sad sacks are advised to treat themselves to sunny climes. I consider myself fortunate to live in
South Beach year around. It is a great tourist trap for me because it is a beautiful place, and I
cannot afford to get out of it.

by secret brand coding. A woman might be wearing $15,000 and only her casual peers would
know it. If the owners of the very casual caf knew it, they might raise the prices, which
happen to be very modest for the booming South of Fifth district of South Beach. That is last
thing discreet clientele would want to happen, not because they could not afford it, but
because the place would be flooded with indiscreet people. Remember how the Yuppies
invaded all those cool retreats in the city?
