Sometimes Hollywood seems like Miami’s tempered, more mellow sibling: more affordable, slightly better groomed, a little less youthful—but almost as bustling and, as of late, just as artistically inspired. Thanks to Mayor Peter Bober’s Downtown Hollywood Live Music Initiative, the city has seen some beautiful cultural growth, and the Downtown Hollywood Mural Project is one [...]
