The Beach Paradise Hotel sits at the intersection of Ocean Drive and 6th Street in South Beach, Miami. It was looking a tad beat down on the day I photographed it. The main awning the the left of the entrance was torn away while several of the awnings over the windows of the upper floor on both the front and side of the hotel we similarly ripped.

I was drawn to this scene by the color matching of the restaurant's orange awnings and yellow walls with the pain scheme of the Chevy Bel Air parked outside. I'm guessing the owner/operators of the two are the same which leads me to my next question - was the restaurant decorated to match the Chevy or was the Chevy re-painted to match the restaurant?
