I'm sure some of you have been to Amelia Earhart Park, on the borders of Hialeah and Opa Locka, but how many of you know how it got that name?
Back before it was a county park, it was the Miami Municial Airport. And on June 1st, 1937 at 5:55am, Amelia Earhart took off from there on what would be her last flight - her failed attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
Sadly, I'd bet my life that right this moment, not one person in that park, including employees, even know that.
