Happy 125th birthday, Miami! The Magic City turned a century and a quarter on July 28th, 2021.

As major cities go, Miami has a history like no other.

Boom and bust, winter homes for the ultra-rich, hurricanes, unsung Bahamians who built the town. Later, the beginnings of a tourist town. There’s the drug money and suddenly Miami is the Wall Street of Latin America.
