Hey Bryce, did you get out before the 'state of emergency' was called? Heck, if it's unruly crowds you're after I'll invite you to Portland. We've even have a restaurant waiting for you...

LOL, I have a good friend that lives in Beaverton. I may have to visit him just to go to that restaurant.
I flew home Friday afternoon. The scene on South Beach was COMPLETELY different from what it was 10 to 15 years ago. I Although I did get to stop by the Clevelander before they shut it down, the rooftop dance club wasn't open.
You could feel the tension in the air all night. The crowd really was too large, especially in light of the pandemic, and I'm pretty sure the residents and officials of Miami Beach, which are mostly caucasian, were not comfortable with the amount of inner city youth that decended on their fair city. My best guess is that about 70% of the party goer's on Tuesday night were urbanites.
My crew relocated out to Bay Harbor Island for the rest of our stay and had a great, much lower key, time. The crowds at Haulover Beach were much better behaved and the restaurants we visited were stellar and actually put alchohol in the over priced drinks.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
