Now that there is a strong possibility that the Miami Circle (which from this point on will be referred to as “the thing”*) might actually be a giant “Smiley Face” (see earlier entry) and the first earliest recording of man having a sense of humor, MVB would like to take this opportunity to show what could have been if county government had handled the original discovery differently. Instead of forking over nearly $27 million dollars of taxpayers money in 1999 to the developer to stop him from developing (with nothing to show for it as of this date– the site is covered in sand to “preserve it”), a more rational approach would have required the developer to include “the thing” in the project’s design. By enclosing “the thing” in the structure’s atrium, this would have allowed unsuspecting tourists or people with way too much time on their hands to look down at it from the spiraling floors above and ponder the meaning of it all.
