Vagabond Motel to get another shot at revival

  • Vagabond Motel, the dimmed star of Biscayne Boulevard's MiMo historic district, is getting the restoration it deserves. It's now a boarded-up shell, but developer Avra Jain and partners have a contract to buy it and have submitted a plan to the city to bring it back to the style of its 1950s heyday.
