Dixie Hwy, Palmetto Bay

S Federal highway and Carribean Blvd is where you will find the southland mall. It is a great place to go pick up anything you need from birthday gifts or just a good pick me up purchase to make up for a bad day. After your done shopping they have a few good places to eat espeially this Itlaian restaurant with a great lunch special. This is even a good place for a first date being that it has a movie theatre in it. The only bad thing is after school hours on a friday or later during the weekend all the ghetto kids come here because they have no where else to go and they run around like animals besides that it is a great place to go and I highly recommend it as long as it's not during the hoodlum hours.

South Federal Highway offers a lot to do and a lot of fun nearby places to go to. On US 1 and 27th East you'll find Coconut grove. There is a great night life and artistic community in Coconut grove and you can only get there by crossing US 1 or taking US 1 to 27th. Continuing North US 1leads to I-95 which is a major artery in every city across the eastern seaboard . Bearing right and continuing on US 1 will take you into Downtown Miami. Here you can experience a major part of Miami's culture, nightlife, and food. Here you will find Bayside mall. Bayside mall has a lot to offer - including boat rides that give you tours of celebrities mansions near Star Island and some great food like Bubba Gump shrimp co. Back south, US 1 intersects LeJune road which leads to Miracle Mile - an area well known for its shopping venues.
Further south still, near 88th US 1 comes within less than 1 mile of Dadeland mall. Going further south US 1 comes in close conjunction with the Palmetto expressway - another major road way running north to south.
Continuing on a south bound path one will pass a Whole Foods grocery (there are only a handful in South Florida) and one will eventually run into The Falls - a beautiful open air mall with manmade water falls, fountains, and a river running the length of the mall. US 1 can lead you into the Keys if you take it all the way south. Near the 300 blocks you will find the major Raceway for NASCAR, an outlet mall, and Coral Castle. Coral Castle is an amazing wonder - built by a 5 foot tall immigrant for his sweet 16, he somehow single handed-ly moved bolders of limestone rock over 5 tons on his own.
