Unlike the majority of the books we publish, Miami Is Missing is nonfiction. It's narrated by Latin Grammy Winner Vicente Solis. Mr. Solis, who lives in Miami, is musician and multi-disciplinary executive with more than 25 years of experience in the music, TV, and general entertainment industries. He co-founded and runs the online radio station Wynwood Radio (wynwoodradio.com), handles artist’s relations for branded content, writes music and performs as voice over talent. He also oversees the US operations of the production and creative agency Plataforma TV. Born and raised in Mexico City, he held executive positions within Viacom International Media for several years, and has dedicated part of his career to the business of music publishing with EMI. His smooth, engaging narration brings true Latin flair to Miami Is Missing.
| | Discover a side of Miami so hidden even the natives don't know it exists. A space rocket abandoned in the swamp, a futuristic expo that never was, a city wiped off the map, a national monument at the bottom of the ocean. Miami-Dade has seen many places come and go in its 178-year history. In this book is a collection of places abandoned, demolished, hidden in plain sight, or that never were - places that helped shape Miami-Dade into the amazing county it is today. Photographs, addresses, and coordinates are provided to take a “then-and-now” look into the Magic City’s hidden history. |
