Looking for an excuse to practically visit a beach?
The mess of our inter-coastal waterways on both sides of the state is what this event is all about. Though problems are already being worked on after an emergency legislative meeting two weeks ago in Stuart. In a short time the dam broke open to aid this disaster, some of which isn’t even being talked about. Responding to the meeting, Governor Scott last week pledged $90 million to lift two miles of the Tamiami Trail to return the critically needed sheet flow from Lake Okeechobee to the Everglades. This isn’t just about all of south Florida, it’s about the entire peninsula. There’s more and you can learn about that at this event. I could go on and on… 🙂
Here are some lovely ladies getting even lovelier courtesy of beauticians of Chez Maurice in Miami in 1939.
