Saving Art Deco

I was born and raised in Miami and am thrilled to see the art deco district getting recognized nationally. Alex Bassil's love for the district is truly genuine and she does it magnificently. She provides a deep historical background for vacationers as well as locals to appreciate an era thatĀ  symbolized South Florida's early heyday. Kudos to Alex Bassil for becoming the first docentĀ for the art deco district and giving it a voice for all to love and learn.
