I think if Herald reporters and others for that matter rode public transit, walked or use bikes they would find there are a lot more stories to be told. I've had amazing interactions with people on the metro-mover, some people have great stories and are just looking for someone to tell them too. But herald reporters aren't the most story oriented writers, in fact the story usually takes back seat to hyperbole. I am looking forward to the dwntwn project providing more trees in the downtown area. It’s been extraordinarily wonderful weather, and downtown while it can be hot also tends to have nice breezes.

I've been walking around at distances comparable to the one she walked for a long time and rarely come away "drenched in sweat" , and I'm a guy so I should sweat more. Just another excuse not to walk, voiced by someone who clearly does not walk. In fairness, however, it is important that shade trees proliferate around Miami to make it an even more pleasant experience to walk (especially during wet season).
