Architecturally speaking, what is your favorite building in Miami?
My mother is an architect, so I was raised to love them all, but if I had to pick one, it would be The Helen Mar. It is an Art Deco high-rise at 24th and Collins, on the little waterway. It’s enchanting.

A silver BMW 325. It’s my little German tank.
