Can you tell me the name of this hotel and where it was located?

The idea of people being poor in

the 1930s is over exaggerated. There

were still a lot of rich people living

during that time. The liberal historians

like to distort this fact.

I lived in St. Pete in the late 40s as a kid. I remember watching the pool being built there. The passenger train came to downtown in the middle of the street, not far from the hotel. The best stores were Maas Brothers and Webb City.

@dave98503 Sir,,,,this film is mis dated, it is the roaring 1920's and My father lived through the depression and it was very bad...its neither Liberal or Conservative . It was what it was...I am a republican and Historcially the 30's were a nightmare.

[Clemburke1111]

Fashion wise this looks 1920's instead of the 1930's
