City Miami Moon: coppertone girl returns the MiMo district

Have her pigtails and mischievous puppy. She was nearing 50 years still on her face only the look of surprise coyish child belongs to. She's reddish-girl is probably most famous all Miami women — in about 40 feet tall high — she was indeed a big. Until 2009, her fate was unknown bare bottom and all.

Since 1959, Miami, redness, God was lighting sign turbulent history. Another brand of pop artist Joyce Ballantine (daughter Sherri was the inspiration for her), depending on the design and build Miami-based Tropicalites registered company, works of art originally hung on Biscayne Boulevard Bldg. 13-storey Parkleigh.

Trust her Concord buildings 66 West Flagler street she calm over 10 years hung Miami Downtown go here. However, with Hurricane Wilma 2005 he leave her desolation blew. Near a huge structure, to add to her unhappiness, rise was threatening shroud totally. It seemed like solar, a legendary landmark.

Decided to back private MiMo Biscayne Association promotes the Biscayne Boulevard in 2007, making the MiMo historic district 27 block, Biscayne, relic.
