Домино Парк

Рано ујутру и поподне и почетак нове недеље. Смех и гласови се мешају истовремено, савршено се уклапају у празнични амбијент. Домине ударају о неколико столова, звекет се претвара у мелодију. Парк Максимо Гомез, познатији као Домино Парк, је као и многа друга места у Мајамију, конвергенција различитих идентитета. Управо овде, у Малој Хавани, у простору на углу Југозападне осме улице и 15. авеније — на само неколико корака од Тауер театра — мештани деценијама играју Домине. Сада туристи инсистирају да сведоче о игри у којој се преплићу другарство и ривалство. Тишина уступа место концентрацији. Домине и смех, као кастањете, прекидају примирје и сигнализирају да је игра почела на столу испод једне од сјеница. Заиста н искуство које нећете заборавити.

Торањ у Мајамију

МДЦ'с Товер Тхеатре, једна је од најстаријих културних знаменитости Мајамија. Када је отворено у децембру 1926. године, било је то најбоље најсавременије позориште на југу. Налази се у СВ Осмој улици и Петнаестој авенији у Мајамију, Флорида. Током касних педесетих и током шездесетих, велики број кубанских избеглица побегао је у Мајами. Подручје око С.В. Осма улица - "Цалле Оцхо" - постала је место нових почетака. За многе кубанске породице, филмови у МДЦ'с Товер Тхеатре-у били су увод у америчку културу поред чисте забаве. Убрзо је МДЦ'с Товер Тхеатре променио свој програм тако да укључује филмове на енглеском језику са шпанским титловима, а на крају и филмове на шпанском језику. И после 93 године ради.

Музеј залива свиња

Неуспела инвазија у Заливу свиња учинила је Кастра све опрезнијим у погледу даље америчке интервенције и отворенији за совјетске сугестије о постављању нуклеарног оружја на Кубу како би се осигурала њена безбедност. Годину и по дана након инвазије наставио је са ближим односима са Совјетским Савезом, делимично ради заштите, што је помогло да се отвори пут за Кубанску ракетну кризу у октобру 1962. Пропратна напомена: „У срцу метрополитана Мајамија налази се град у граду познатом као ’Мала Хавана’. Преко петсто хиљада Кубанских Американаца се населило у области Мајамија од првог великог егзодуса 1959. Посетићемо Меморијал залива свиња уз кратку лекцију из историје кубанског стручног водича.

Domino Park

Early Morning and afternoon and the beginning of a new week. Laughter and voices mix simultaneously, a perfect match for the festive ambiance. Dominoes smack against several tables, the clatter rising into a melody. Maximo Gomez Park, better known as Domino Park, is like many other Miami places, a convergence of different identities.

Domino Park

Early Morning and afternoon and the beginning of a new week. Laughter and voices mix simultaneously, a perfect match for the festive ambiance. Dominoes smack against several tables, the clatter rising into a melody. Maximo Gomez Park, better known as Domino Park, is like many other Miami places, a convergence of different identities. It is here, in Little Havana, in the space on the corner of Southwest Eighth Street and 15th Avenue — just steps away from the Tower Theater — that locals have played Dominoes for decades. Now tourists insist on bearing witness to the game in which camaraderie and rivalry intertwine. Silence gives way to concentration. Dominoes and laughter, like castanets, interrupt the truce and signal that the game has started on the table under one of the gazebos. Truly an experience you won't forget.

Miami Tower

MDC's Tower Theater is one of Miami's oldest cultural landmarks. When it opened in December 1926, it was the finest state-of-the-art theater in the South. It is located on SW Eighth Street and Fifteenth Avenue in Miami, Florida. During the late fifties and throughout the sixties, large numbers of Cuban refugees fled to Miami. The area surrounding S.W. Eighth Street - "Calle Ocho" - became a place of new beginnings. For many Cuban families, films at MDC's Tower Theater were an introduction to American culture in addition to pure entertainment. Soon MDC's Tower Theater altered its programming to include English-language films with Spanish subtitles, and eventually Spanish-language films. It is still operating after 97 years.
