Heh. Well, I recently took a group to South Beach and I have to say that we
felt quite safe and had a great time there. All of the front line people in
the service industry and particularly the public transit workers were much

award. And it definitely didn't have the feel of a gun culture...everyone
seemed to be having too much fun to be worried about carrying a gun.
