General Note
Accompanying note: "'Little Havana' is a section of Miami located just south of downtown, bordered by Calle Ocho to the north and Coral Gables to the south. Formerly an area of decaying neighborhoods and shuttered businesses, 'Little Havana' exists today as a thriving Latin marketplace and tourist attraction, while serving as home to over one-quarter of metropolitan Dade County's Hispanic population."
"The Latin American folk tradition of breaking a pinata for a child's birthday is seen in Miami. Many of the stores in 'Little Havana' are patterned after stores in Cuban Havana."
