"The hustle and bustle of Miami"

South Dixie Highway aka US Highway 1 in South Miami is difficult. Difficult to drive on, that is. Dixie Highway is the road that Interstate 95 turns into when the highway ends. It is not too terribly bad when you first come off of I-95 onto Dixie. There are actually quite a few places to stop and check out. There is the South Florida Science Museum and the planetarium which are must sees, but besides that, beware. The traffic in this part of town is just horrendous. If you can, avoid this road at all costs during rush hour. Many times I have found myself stuck in traffic for hours, not even being able to change lanes to try and make a detour and there are not many detours if there is somewhere you need to be on Dixie Highway.

On the other hand, Dixie Highway has a plethora of small and large businesses, business offices, chain and local restaurants and cafes. Also Dixie Highway can take you all the way to the Florida Keys if need be, but I wouldn't suggest it. It's not the most pleasant ride. You will find that in most areas the speed limit is no more than 35 mph. One good thing about Dixie Highway though, I must say, is that the metrorail, Miami's local railway system, rides along side Dixie Highway and you can always stop, park and ride if the traffic is just to much.

"What doesn't this place have?"

Wow! South Dixie Highway has just about everything at some point or another. It is a very long road with several lanes and many exits leading into other major streets and avenues. It twists and turns a whole bunch the closer you get to the Brickell area, but other than that it's pretty much a straight stretch of road. It is located just off of four major malls that are all hot spots: The Falls, Sunset Drive, Southland, and Dadeland. Many restaurants allow for many dining opportunities, and places like CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens let you buy those things you need for everyday tasks 24 hours a day. I love S Dixie Highway. Oh, and there are hotels too!

"This is US1 highway and it's busy 8 lane highway, hotels, malls, university, etc"

This goes south all the way to the Florida Keys. It's busy with commercial stuff - you can find anything there.
