"Still, none of them can hold a chlorine-scented candle to Florida, home of the Waste Pro Garbage Truck Museum; the Bike-Riding Parrots of Sarasota Jungle Gardens; Big Betsy, Islamorada's 30-foot high spiny lobster; not to mention the Beach Tomb of Morris the Cat in Gulfport or any of our other awesome contributions to culture. Nobody's ever seen anything like them."
"Miami Dade College had some land sitting there on its Wolfson campus and, instead of doing something stupid with it like make a park or a cultural center or housing for students or whatever, MDC's Board of Trustees voted to give the land - worth a paltry $200-$300 million - to the state. They voted in secret, with no public comment and no community input, but who could possibly object to such a stable genius project?"
Florida hosts a series of eccentric attractions, including the Waste Pro Garbage Truck Museum, Bike-Riding Parrots, Big Betsy the 30-foot spiny lobster, and unusual memorials. The state plans to add a Trump Presidential Library Hotel and Massage Parlor in Miami, described as lavish and clad in gold. Miami Dade College transferred valuable Wolfson campus land to the state, then slated it for the Trump Presidential Library Foundation. The Board of Trustees voted in secret with no public comment or community input. The transfer effectively places the site under Trump family control and has prompted accusations of political favoritism.
