Modern Site of resort and hotels. All the buildings are new but all the old buildings were arranged the same. The wharf is new, too.






I hatched an idea to write historial LW, to see how it does with the sharks.

Back in the 20s my little town was home to a movie colony (Hoot Gibson owned the gas station and Ed Wynn owned the hotel) plus plenty of gangsters from New York, Chicago, and other places. When the local marshal got too involved in the boot-legging he was found with his head blown off.

So I got to thinking about making a LW story of it as lotsa local girls took up with the hoods, and many were married. We even had an abortion mill in town. Ladies came to Tampa by train, then the boat from Tampa to town for fun at the big expensive resort, followed by an abortion at the medical center smack dab in the middle of the hotels and resort. I mean, we had no golf course or race track (one was finally built) or decent shopping. Just the wharf, the resort, several hotels, and a medical center. Plus the movie stars.

Its perfect for drama.

Infinite plots driven by prohibition, warmth and women who love the sun and money. You could have a field day with this. A Breaking Bad in the '20's.

On another note - curse you for showing me sunny serenity while I wait patiently for the next cold front. :devil:

Bra cups were invented in 1928, they were made of leather and attached to a leather bodice held together by leather draw strings. The first cups were sized A,B,C,D. Leather controlled the pendulum swing but were uncomfortable. Lotsa new technology in the 20s.
