    What a find! This is an artsy, funky, quirky neighborhood with art everywhere and a whole museum dedicated to street art.

    The Wynwood Walls is a museum/garden. There were indoor and outdoor installations. The artist with the simple stick figures in bronze was a favorite - very simple figures, very pointed messages.

    The outside murals were fun and colorful. Curious how often they change it out... if you lived near by, I could imagine having an annual pass and coming often to admire and be inspired.

    Outside of the museum, there is still art everywhere. The area has a funky, edgy, slightly grimy area, but also just real. Some art that might offend some people.... those aren't our people. LOL.

    There is also a huge food truck court - Smorgasbord Miami - that had such a great vibe. So many different types of food - there must have been 25 stalls. There was a big area with dozens of picnic tables. We weren't hungry or we would have indulged.

    The sad part about the area was seeing the signs of gentrification... the new mixed use buildings going up... and fearing all of that uniqueness being lost.
