THE UNDERLINE MIAMI IS INCLUSIVE FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES

AVANT GARDE DESIGN FOR DISABILITY ABOUNDS

The Underline Miami uses Universal Design throughout its multiple mile linear park.

Near Brickell Metrorail Station, a subtle ramp provides stage access for wheelchair users/people with disabilities.

Friend, colleague, activist and influencer Paula Carozzo took the stage last month for a panel discussion and work out events during a Women’s Wellness Market.

She created the “fitness, beauty, and local brands in a high-energy open-air event with live classes & community" at the Underline space Inter Stage.

It is designed for events, concerts, community programs people-watching. 

It’s part of the Promenade’s social “rooms,” complementing nearby game and dining areas.

Additional features include a digital community screen, and a cantilevered canopy.

HAPPY AND HEALTHY

NOT SHARING THIS TO BRAG ON ME, BUT TO MOTIVATE OTHERS

Anyone who knows me remembers that from second grade on, I was overweight.

I soared to more than 300 pounds.

On my 55th birthday, my test results showed cholesterol double what it should + pre-diabetes.

This week, I received results with numbers better than an average 30 year old.

I started walking a lot more.

I traded pizzas and double cheeseburgers with a basket of fries -- for salads, veggie stir fries and grilled fish.

'Za and burgers are for rare special occasions.

The photo is from the day I walked 45 KM -- that's longer than a marathon -- in one day in Portugal.
