Topical Currents

Old Florida

(11-14-2016) On today’s Topical Currents, we take a trip back to “old Florida,” the one before Interstate Highways and the theme park craze.

Is it possible to retrace the routes promoted in the Florida tour guide of 1930 by the Federal Writers Project?

Cathy Salustri says yes.  She’s written BACKROADS OF PARADISE:  A JOURNEY TO DISCOVER OLD FLORIDA.
