Argosy Motel, Miami Beach, 1960s. – Swampy’s Florida Postcard Monday.
This postcard isn’t postmarked but guess it is in the 1960s. Found a later one on Flickr that has taller trees and larger bushes out front of the entrance. Same exact angles of the images.
The motel is gone and according to Google is now Samson Oceanfront Park. Here it is:

Trilby gorges in bananas in celebration much to the detriment to Zuber.
Bananas are grown in the south part of our state. One spot specializing in bananas is in Homestead and that’s Going Bananas.
You can learn more about Going Bananas by clicking here: http://going-bananas.com/
A great trip to make is in the area of in southeast Florida known as the Redlands. A trip through will reveal the vast amount of fruits and vegetables grown in our state.
Tomorrow: Save it to remember.
