This episode begins by remembering a legend in Florida journalism.

Had a development for the Big Bend area of Florida been proposed in recent years, it would have been approved, and the recent hurricane damage there would have been much worse.

Our guest is Paul George from the History Miami Museum who tells us all about the founder of Miami Beach, Carl Fisher.

The biography Craig mentioned is "Castles in the Sand" and the documentary we mentioned is "Mr. Miami Beach."

Here's more information on the Brightline train.

"Welcome to Florida" is presented by Windstorm Products. Protect your home from the effects of hurricane wind damage with the expertise and hurricane hardware available at windstormproducts.com.
