No Parking

I love juxtapositions. Luckily, Miami is full of them.

I especially love finding signs saying don't do something and then finding that thing right next to the sign.

Like this: a No Parking sign on a street filled with parked cars.

No Parking, Miami Beach

9th St and Lurkers Ave

Tricksters like to rename street signs to something more descriptive of the area.

Weird Load Van

I love walking around South Beach. You see some of the most bizarre things.

Restroom $3.00

More pay to pee signs in South Beach.

You see these a lot during busy holiday weekends, especially Memorial Day weekend.

Restroom $3.00 for non-costumer. People wearing costumes: free.

Found on Washington Avenue in Miami Beach.

Espanola Way

Early morning in South Beach about an hour before sunrise.

It's hard to believe sometimes that the city can be so quiet. And peaceful.

Pay To Pee

South Beach is not a pee friendly neighborhood. An inconvenient fact when you remember that a large part of the city's income comes from heavy drinking.

You have to pay here to pee here.

Word One Way

Sometimes people will add words or messages to signs. Usually it makes an obvious statement. Other times it just leaves me scratching my head.
