South Florida has all you need!
While enjoying the “magic city,” guidebooks allowed visitors to learn about South Florida’s history and locate points of interests such as theaters, society events, churches, places to dine, and shop. For those wanting a quick tour, a weekly plan of activities and places to visit was provided with brochures outlining places and activities of interest for each day of the week.
