The Village of Biscayne Park is located near Miami in Florida. Since founded in 1938, the town has kept its “small town” atmosphere making this the ideal place to visit. There are no schools that can be found directly in the small village. There is a large log cabin, built in 1938, that now houses the police department and is used for the Village Hall. The villagers are quite content with their “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix” philosophy, so much that in 2001 the Mayor tried to get a Village Manager appointed to oversee the daily operations of the village, but was turned down by the villagers. They apparently will keep the Village of Biscayne Park well preserved.
