Yes, I think there are a million stories to be told about the land boom and its aftermath in Florida. Fascinating period of time. In ways, Florida is still suffering from the greed of those days.

this is the land boom that MADE lakeland and dethroned Jacksonville as the most imp. city as Miami grew exponentially due to insane land speculation, it'd be interesting to write a novel on the aftermath of the real estate bust in the lakeland area...
