This image seems to picked up a bit of a stormy day. Added a lot to image.
The card doesn’t indicate where this was, but it’s unlikely this area looks like this today.
This picture is part of a fold out postcard set that wasn’t mailed. Likely from the 1950s.
This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.

Swampy’s Florida Ads from Today, 1965: New England Oyster House, Miami News.
Who remembers the New England Oyster House in Dade County?
I remember the nets hanging as decoration around the New England Oyster House near Downtown Miami and how i had to watch where I was walking not to get caught in them. 🙂
Don’t know the story, but Red Lobster seemed to be designed nearly identical to the New England Oyster House.
This advertisement is from the March 26th, 1965 edition of the Miami News.

This park has changed considerably over the years. This is still another park that’s lost it’s botanical flavor.
This postcard has no date, so it is hard to figure when it is from. The style indicates the ’40s or ’50s.

This is what the Baptist Church looked like in Orlando back in 1910. The church was located on the corner of Pine Street and Main Street (Now Magnolia Avenue). The little structure just to the left of the church and somewhat hidden by trees was the parsonage. Note that there is no parking lot. This was back when folks walked to church. Also there are no electrical poles. When researching this area many years ago, I recall it was around this time of 1910 that electrical lines and wooden sidewalks and street lights were added.
The back of the postcard is postmarked 10am, February 28th, 1910. It was mailed by Josie Francis to Harold Cady of Bellows Falls, Vermont. Josie writes that the church is not as “elaborately built” as the church she attended in Vermont. Though the congregation is larger and more active to the community, “I must confess”.
She also thanks Harold for a Valentine he sent to her. Hmmmm. Was there romance of the two? 🙂
