Florida road trip 1930s

[lg325]

A silent movie on a road trip from mid west to Florida. It is a nice look at Florida of my grand parents. I and my family are Floridians as far back as the 1600s along with native ancestors. Enjoy

That was great! Thanks a lot for posting it.

I bet that 6-million dollar bridge would be six billion+ now.

I liked the catfish too.

Makes you weep for what was squandered since then.

Really enjoyed going through this thanks for sharing it. The photos and little details really capture a time that feels so far removed from today. It’s interesting how travel back then seemed slower but somehow richer, with people appreciating the journey itself. Hard to imagine Florida without all the development we see now.

Their "route we took" didn't mention going anywhere near Asheville, NC, where Biltmore is.

It's a very lovely attraction worth the detour.
