  • A Guide to the City Beautiful the City Beautiful
    A GUIDE TO THE CITY BEAUTIFUL THE CITY BEAUTIFUL Coral Gables’ founder, George E. Merrick, imagined both a “City Beautiful” and a “Garden City,” with lush green avenues winding through a residential city, punctuated by civic landmarks and embellished with detailed and playful architectural features. Today, Coral Gables stands out as a planned community that blends color, details, and a Mediterranean architectural style; it’s a rare pearl in South Florida. Early city planners and visionaries were influenced by the aesthetics of the City Beautiful Movement that swept across America in the early 1900s which encouraged the use of wide tree-lined avenues, monumental buildings, winding roadways, green space, ornate plazas, and fountains. All these elements of style have been and continue to be incorporated throughout the City. The City’s distinct tropical beauty is being enhanced by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Million Orchid Project, an ambitious initiative that is reintroducing one million native orchids to street trees in Miami-Dade County, including more than 250,000 in the City Beautiful. Thanks to the City’s Tree Succession Project, the planting of approximately 3,000 new trees is now complete. The City continues to invest in its green canopy. The Landscaping Division has planted more than 270 new trees citywide on City swales and public green spaces to provide additional shade and environmental benefits. This includes the North Ponce neighborhood where more than 70 new shade trees were planted, and the Gables by the Sea Neighborhood where more than 50 new shade trees were planted. Coral Gables: The City Beautiful www.coralgables.com ECONOMIC OVERVIEW The Coral Gables economy is comprised of local and international businesses, but unlike other parts of Florida, it is not influenced by seasonal shifts.

  • Maria Sharapova Was Raised in Sochi, Russia by a Loving Family and Spent All Her Time Playing Tennis
    What is required to become a legend in tennis sport? A great deal of skill and willpower, as well as courage to withstand wounds and disapproval, are necessary. Sharapova is more suitable for this description than most people. Indeed, she is among the best tennis players and this reputation is based on her inborn talent, determination, and self-confidence. However, Sharapova's life is not just a record of her victories and defeats. The most important thing that distinguishes Sharapova's life story from others is her storytelling style and specific point of view for the world. In this summary, you will see how a person copes with difficulties with a good sense of humor and serenity. Most importantly, you will understand that without the backing of companions, parents, and people who have faith in you and your abilities, no success can be achieved alone. Chapter 1 - Maria Sharapova was raised in Sochi, Russia by a loving family and spent all her time playing tennis. After the Chernobyl nuclear reactor explosion of 1986, Belarusian Yelena and Yuri departed from their city and immigrated to Siberia. After settling in Nyagan, they had a girl named Maria Sharapova on April 19, 1987, which is her birth date. However, Yuri Sharapov did not like living in Siberia, but soon took her wife and daughter to a little flat in Sochi, the largest and brightest tourism center of Russia, on the east coast of the Black Sea. Maria was two years old when they moved to Sochi. Sometime after Sharapova started to grow, on a good day, Yuri took his daughter with him for a tennis workout.

  • Miami Open Enters New Era As It Relocates to Hard Rock Stadium
    MIAMI OPEN ENTERS NEW ERA AS IT RELOCATES TO HARD ROCK STADIUM MIAMI, FL (December 20, 2017) - IMG, an Endeavor company, today announced that the Miami Open presented by Itau will be relocating to Hard Rock Stadium in 2019. The partnership between IMG and Hard Rock Stadium will bring an unparalleled fan experience, improved player amenities, ample parking, as well as an extended fan base to the Miami Open, a cornerstone of IMG’s events portfolio. Construction on the new tennis facilities will begin in 2018. The Miami Open’s last event at Crandon Park in Key Biscayne, where it has enjoyed a successful 32-year run, will take place in March 2018. While the event had numerous offers to relocate to other cities, IMG committed to finding a solution that would keep the event in South Florida for the benefit of the community, working closely with Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez to develop this reimagined event. “The Miami Open belongs in Miami,” said WME and IMG Co-President Mark Shapiro. “We’re grateful to have amazing partners in Stephen, the Miami Dolphins organization, Mayor Gimenez and above all the people of Miami who have been supporting the Miami Open for decades. While we’re looking forward to creating the new Miami Open experience at Hard Rock Stadium, our priority is to make the last edition of the Key Biscayne event the best it’s ever been.” “We are extremely excited that the Miami Open, a global entertainment event, will remain in our community,” Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross said.
