Publisher's Synopsis
People associate Miami with sun and beaches, but there also exist dark corners that only a certain few will wander to. Abandoned Miami delves into the art of urban exploration, a dangerous hobby which seeks to explore the richness of history within the forgotten spaces of cities. Many places get bulldozed shortly after abandonment and urban explorers try to capture the essence of these places before they are never seen again.
From a forgotten rocket which never made it to the moon, to a castle with a sealed fate, Abandoned Miami will take you into the lost places of Miami's past. Between photos, historical facts, and personal perspective, Tanya Velazco tries to blend her real-life experiences with the stories of these locations in order to give a wider view of what these places were before. This book will show you places in Miami you never knew existed.
