"he hectic daily commute from endless suburban sprawl surrounding South Florida's downtown areas has given way to a new urbanism sweeping the region, where a 24/7 downtown lifestyle is slowly becoming a reality. While downtown Fort Lauderdale already established a nightlife centered around the Las Olas business and entertainment district, downtown Miami was slow on the uptake due in part to fierce nightlife competition from the neighboring urban playground South Beach (or SoBe to the locals) and nearby Coconut Grove."
