Places We Call Home Breakfast Salon Series 2016
The Arts at St. Johns and The Betsy Hotel are co-sponsoring a new series of talks entitled: “Places We Call home.” These talks are inspired by the multiplicity of homes of our South Florida residents. According to a recent census report, ~70% of Miami’s population comes from other cities, states, regions or countries. I too, like many Miami residents, was not born here, and I have numerous places I could call home – or, conversely, no place to call home. Is this good or bad?
