All Ways Lead to Hialeah

A promotional billboard welcomes visitors to Hialeah in 1921, making this pretty prairie catch the eye of a pioneer aviator Glenn Curtiss and a Missouri cattleman James H. Bright who saw the city for its great potential in 1921

 

  

At the time, Glenn Curtiss and James Bright could not have imagined how important Hialeah's location would be for transportation.

In 1922, Curtiss and Bright just knew it was the Gateway to the Everglades and the first town west of Miami, FL. They believed in their projection of Hialeah and it was right on. 

 "All Ways Lead to Hialeah" was one of the city's first slogans.

Today, Hialeah has access to every major thoroughfare - linked by I-95, I-75, the Palmetto and Sawgrass Expressways, and the Florida Turnpike. Hialeah also provides direct access to both Opa-Locka and Miami International Airports. As well as, Amtrak, Tri-Rail and Metro-Rail stations conveniently located within the city.

Hialeah is the HEART of Northwest Miami-Dade. 

Area of Hialeah: 20 sq. miles

(FYI: Miami is 36 sq. miles)

I grew up in Miami, and lived in Hialeah as an adult. You didn't mention that you need to speak spanish since all signs are in Spanish and most of retail help can't speak english and the traffic is almost always at a crawl and Hialeh has twice voted in a convicted felon as Mayor. I spoke spanish though and loved the people. It is a great town with wonderful people. Just learn the language!.
