Fruits and vegetables grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get today. The main culprit in this disturbing nutritional trend is soil depletion.

Hialeah's name is most commonly attributed to Muskogee origin "PRETTY PRAIRIE". Alternatively, the word is of Seminole origin meaning "Upland Prairie". The city is located upon a large prairie between Biscayne Bay and the Florida Everglades.

Miami suburbs such as Coral Gables, Florida and Opa-locka, Florida, formed some of the first planned communities in the state.
