Thanks Claudia for sharing with us and thanks to everyone sending in their photos! We appreciate it.

Cat Napping in Hialeah

Sometimes you gotta catch up on those zzzz's whenever and wherever you can. Even if it is the middle of the day in Hialeah's factory district.

Surf's Up Dude

As if the pictures weren't enough to make you laugh, the bumper sticker read "My son is the inmate of the month at the county jail." Hilarious! The vehicle's owner pictured above.

Challenged in Hialeah

Today I was challenged in Hialeah (where else?), which is a good thing. I was making my rounds this morning taking some photos of some typical Hialeah houses and a neighbor flagged me down. He wanted to know why I was taking photos and let me know that he didn't feel it was right since residences are private. Noted, but, I was on the street. Technically, public property. I'm not complainin' it was nice to see a neighbor lookin' out. What if I were, like, casing houses or something?

Next time, I'll be sure to take photos in the afternoon when people aren't all up in my business right before they head out the door to work. You'd think people would be happy about their 15 minutes of fame. LOL

Bus Drivin' Fools

Ok, I get that you want people to stop when you're picking up kids. That's the law. But was it really necessary to take up both lanes to do it? Hmmm, it is Hialeah so maybe that's the only way to make sure everybody stops.

Strike two for you though when you cut off everyone in the left lane after the pickup. Oh, and you didn't even use your turn signal!

¿Qué Pasa, Miami?

If you luff our blog, then you're going to luff the blog ¿Qué Pasa, Miami? too. I guess I missed it earlier when MyAmi stopped in a dropped some comment love. What can I say? Sometimes I miss the glaringly obvious.

Anyways (a Hialeah word for chure!) stop by and check out ¿Qué Pasa, Miami?. It's fresh, it's witty, it's in Spanglish sometimes and it's sure to always be grammatically correct - unlike Sweet Home Hialeah.

Go Big or Go To Hell

Ok, maybe not hell but it sounded better than go big or go home. In Hialeah we like to supersize our saints so it's only natural to see one that's floor to ceiling right?
