I remember the Castaways Motel when i would visit Miami Beach back around 69,70 I never got to stay there After moving To the west Ft.Laud area in 76 it was all gone How mane blocks did the Castaways take up??
Great video! My mother and father moved to Florida when I was three years old. I lived there for almost 30 years, and finally went back to temperate climates (New York, Boston and now, Portland, Oregon). Still have memories of old Miami Beach and the city of North Miami, Florida, where my Dad was a councilman, vice-Mayor and municipal judge. In memory of Leonard L, Kimball (b. 1911-d.1988) who would have been 100 years old this year 11/11/1911.
Great memories! My family vacationed in Miami at the Ocean Reef ( South Beach). Good times. Sunday night dances, canasta, Lee's coconut milkshakes. The Saxony Hotel Ice Cream Parlor..Ye Nashery. Darbys...kitchen sink $25 all the ice cream you can eat. Had to wear a tie in order to enter Fontainebleu. Times have changed. I use to have a postcard collection of all the Collins Avenue Hotel postcards up to the Eden Roc.
Except for Dean Martin's, There is not a place shown i did not at least enter once! My grandfather was the manager of the Delano...would that he were now!!!
:) My father was the General Manager of the National Hotel from 1985-1994. I lived there during the sad time of 1980-82. I remember almost all the Lincoln Road stores were closed. I remember the hoopla when developers wanted to re-develop the Art Deco district. Has Miami Vice TV show not come along the whole Art Deco district would be gone now. Sad to hear the Carillon hot mutilated by re-developers.
