I never had a problem in Hialeah.... I walked around the neighborhood at will... my chropractor was on the opposite side of the front entrance and my favority restaurant is across the street from the stable entrance... my car would go to the shop a few blocks away and I would walk back to the track. Calder is not in a very good neighborhood either... just ask about the head they found around the corner... even Gulfstream's neighborhood has problems... I live a few blocks away (3 blocks really) and have heard gunshots at night...

traffic is a pain in the butt everywhere... getting much worse around GP.
I would not want a BC at Calder... it's way too sterile!

Hialeah was soooo beautiful... I rode my pony up and down the tree lined bridle path thinking of all the great horses that walked the same path.. the paddock enclosures are covered in Ivy.. the turf course was one of the best in the country.... With the right people envolved Hialeah could easily return to its grandness! but the major problem is Brunnetti... he wants it his way or no way.... very sad!
