Are you like me, remembering the stories from the Black Stallion series as part of the romance of Hialeah? I know the images and film are nostalgic, and I remember seeing it several years ago on tv but I often read it as settings for stories in my childhood, and whenever I hear people talk about what Hialeah was like in person, it seems to be all that Walter Farley described and more. The colors of the actual flamingos and the green foliage with the horses and silks. Just spectacular.
