The Tamiami Trail doesn't run through Kendall. It's the name of US-41 from Tampa through Miami; Kendall is south of Miami.
Crossing pictures from Plant City, FL are finally here! viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2538

My dad refers to it as Kendall I guess, since that is what he told me. I did went on google though and it turns out it is still Miami, but the very south portion of it. Also saw that 4l runs through Tamiami W. Of Miami, as well as Fontainbleu.This is something I should have known being a Florida native, silly me! :oops:
