This is my old 8mm home video of the 1992 King Mango Strut Parade
showing one of the best parts- the Hurricane Andrew Country Walk goof
where the parade goers each hold parts of a cardboard house and walk
with it and stop every few yards and ask the crowd to blow it away.
When you consider this was only a few months after Hurricane Andrew
blew away thousands of peoples homes here makes this spectacle a hilarious ,
cockeyed and bittersweet street theatre.. included are the marching Blind building inpectors
and the FEMA chanting crowds and fake Rick Sanchezless channel 7 news
reporters and the Famous marching Freds bringing up the rear.
The ability for my fellow locals to make fun of our disaster made me proud
to be born here,there a lot of bad things about South Florida but this was
a wonderful moment I have never forgotten... don't miss the King mango strut
each year, it is one of the best events in Miami.

I have a lot of low budget DIY stuff on my pages, most with an outdoor and
south Florida focus.
