He changed it but I really don't believe Albert Einstein said "Cubans are in Miami." Regardless his childish remarks got me in a moment of weakness and I had to say something. I will go back to ignoring him.

Yeah, that's a better idea. If you don't want to get in trouble you better do what you say.

Remember, you've been warned.

Coral Gables, South Miami, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Miami Beach, Doral, Miami Lakes, and Key Biscayne. They're basically everywhere, like everyone else with the exception of the blacks in Overtown, Miami Gardens, Liberty City, these tend to be pretty homogeneously-black, and areas like Little Havana and Sweetwater are almost all Hispanic. The White Non-Hispanics are spread around Miami.

Not really. 50.9% of residents of Miami-Dade were foreign born in 2000. So it is basically half and half.

What is an American? Most of the communities mentioned are from South America or North America and so all of them would be Americans. Not all are US born citizens though as Dave pointed out.

Little Richard has earned wide praise from many other performers. James Brown called Little Richard his idol [2] and credited him with "first putting the funk in the rock and roll beat."[1] Smokey Robinson said Penniman's music was "the start of that driving, funky, never let up rock 'n' roll;", while Dick Clark described his music as "the model for almost every rock and roll performer of the '50s and years thereafter." Ray Charles asserted that Little Richard was "the man that started a kind of music that set the pace for a lot of what's happening today." In his high school year book, Bob Dylan declared that his ambition was "to follow Little Richard." In 1969, Elvis Presley told Little Richard, "Your music has inspired me - you are the greatest.".[2] Otis Redding, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Mick Jagger, John Fogerty, Dick Dale, Bob Seger, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and numerous other rock n roll icons have also cited Little Richard as being their first major influence. He was chosen as the 8th greatest artist of all time by Rolling Stone[3], although at least six of the seven artists that preceded him on the list were heavily influenced by his music, and, he was the person who cited himself as the 8th best artist of all time.

no he didn't invent rock all by himself but he has been known as "The Originator" for years.

lol...in what universe does Lincoln Road go to Sunny Isles? I lived in Sunny Isles for two years and Aventura for two years and believe me, Lincoln Road does not go there. Plenty of Russians though.

It's done like this. You just have to find the right alley way.

I might have confused it with Collins.
