Floridians have lived through many trials and successes. These pages are designed to remind us of the way it was. Stories and pictures give us a glimpse of the way they lived.
Our ancestors I am sure had a struggle with houses and farms which would produce enough to keep them alive. Just imagine how it must have been in the "Good Ole Days". No A/C, plenty of mosquitos (drink that sulphur water),
roads that went all around to get to there from here.
Freezes, hurricanes happened without the advantage of radio and tv alerts.
There are articles of old Florida telling of a time when there were only five houses in Miami. Imagine.
Tales are told of the late 1920's and the brick road that left Georgia and came through the sands of Florida. One lane of brick. Not mortared together. My grandfather tells of stopping when he saw a brick that was not in place. He would put it back in place. He soon realized he would never reach central Florida if he kept that up.
