Notes about a place in Florida (5)
I believe the answer is:
miami
'in florida' is the definition.
('Miami' is part of 'florida')
'notes about a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'notes' could be 'mi' and 'mi' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'place' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for miami that I've seen before include "I put out of action when returning" , "Prejudice in favour of one person or thing" , "Popular sun-city of Florida" , "US city" , "Popular city in SE Florida" .)
