When I lived in Miami around the turn of the century


My next door neighbors lived in Columbia, and only came up to Miami a few times/year. Their kids lived in town, and would stop by the house once a week to check on it. Asked why their parents didn't move up to Miami, and they said they owned a business, but couldn't sell it. Anyone perceived to have "money" was a potential kidnap victim. They rarely visited their country club down there because that would mark them as "rich."

Hopefully they've gotten rid of the business and moved up by now...
