Damn! From the thread title I thought this was going to be about the decline of Fashion, with the appearance of plastic shoes decorated with Rhinestones
I have never seen alligators at MIA. MIA is pretty deep into the city now and has no open water nearby.
Conversely at MCO they’re fairly common. We like to look for them sunning near the ponds near many of the taxiways. I’ve not had to wait for one to cross the road*, but I have occasionally seen one on the pavement.

Q: Why did the alligator cross the road?
A: To get to the preschool on the other side.
