Miami - Little Havana: Maximo Gomez Park
Made by wallyg
Located on the corner of Calle Ocho and 15th Avenue, Domino Park, also known as Maximo Gomez Park, hosts older folks and neighborhoodies who partake in tense games of dominos, chess and checkers. Before the park's construction in 1976, men played dominos on milk crates, folding chairs and beat-up card tables. But today, spectators enjoy a piece of Cuban culture played out at shaded constructed tables well into the night. Máximo Gómez y Báez (18 November 1836 in Baní, Dominican Republic - 17 June 1905 in Havana, Cuba) was a general in the Ten Years' War and Cuba's military commander in that country's War of Independence. He refused nomination to the first presidential elections in Cuba in 1901, mainly because he always disliked politics and after 40 years of living in Cuba he still felt that being Dominican-born he should not be a leader of Cuba.
