From My heART To Your Soul: ABANDONED MIAMI MARINE STADIUM

The Miami Marine Stadium is a marine stadium on Virginia Key, Miami, Florida, United States. The facility, built and completed in 1963 on land donated to the City of Miami from the Matheson family, is the first stadium purpose-built for powerboat racing in the United States. In the wake of Hurricane Andrew, it was declared an unsafe building under Miami-Dade County building code on September 18, 1992.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Marine_Stadium

On our trip back to Florida this was one of my "I HAVE TO GO TO" spot to add to my collection of GRAFFITI/STREETART Photography, which I will soon add to my online portfolio epokxjstylist.carbonmade.com. Thanks to my sister and her boyfriend for the company and ride to this amazing abandoned graffiti mecca thats off the Rickenbacker Causeway on the way to Key Biscayne, its like South Miami's 5 Points.The abandoned element creates that eerie feel and yet peace that allows you to explore around and appreciate the art and tags that cover this facility from bottom to top. As I also love history, I couldn't help but think about the life and energy that once engulfed this stadium from the 60's to the 90's. As you scroll through the pictures I found 2 old pics of the stadium during its time of use in the 60's. Heres a combination of pictures my wife Jstylist and I took with our Nikon D3200 and Galaxy 5S.

I, as my tag name EPOK, had the pleasure of tagging my name and my character Grimm the StreetKat! Follow on Instagram : @Grimm_the_StreetKat
