Swampy’s Historic Photos: Land Boom, Miami, 1920s.
Here’s Noel Mitchell, silk hat on head, pitching land to those gathered in Miami in the 1920s. Notice the fellow in the front who seems to be counting his cash. Wish i could transport in time and stop the fellow before he gets sucker punched by Mitchell and his pals in the realtor office, the bank, the politicians and other assorted grifters looking to scam unsuspecting suckers in the 1920s in our state. Few of these land deals were legit.
