I have been following the process to save Hialeah race track for quite some time. There are a number of very involved people that would like to see this lovely monument come back to life and be a beacon of entertainment for South Florida again.
Plans to sell the property off and convert it into large scale development were initially halted by a select group of people looking to change the ownership rights back to someone who actually cares about racing. The final blow to the stop of the project must be credited to the slowing economy. Now the legal struggle is in full swing to restore this property.

Having been featured in many local movies as well as the opening credits for Miami Vice, this would be a true loss for South Florida. There are only a few landmarks left. This is certainly one of them.
Today I noticed this great little article likely to be missed… a permit? Yes, a single permit is a great victory and will certainly contribute greatly to have thoroughbred racing once again in our backyard:
