THE-CONCOfta tIMES
J ANOTHER LETTER FROM
W. ROBERT BLACKWELDER
Restaurant Man Says Hollywood la
Dead.—Miami a Beautiful City.
Mr. Editor:
I win try to write a letter for your
paper as a number of people in North
asked me to write occasion
ally. I made a trip today down the
Dixie Highway to Miami a distance
of 65 miles. I don’t think T went
through as much as ten miles of coun
try on the way there, that is not clear
ed off and surveyed out in lots for
town sites. First going South, is
Lakeworth. Then comes Lantawna,
a new development with just a few
buildings going up. Next is Boynton,
a small village that is widely adver
tised as a town. Next is Delray, an
other small town and the only place
I saw anything growing to eat and
that was pineapples. Next we come
to Bosca Raton. This property wa*
on the market when I came here last
fall and was considered one of the
leaders in lot sales. Today a* you
pass through you see a few streets 100
feet wide, paved and in perfect con
dition for a city but nothing more.
And I hear but very little said about
the sale of lots at this place.
We passed through several I
villages between there and- Ft. Laud
erdale. This is an old tdwn and is;
said to be in the midst of a farming’
section. We found good buildings
here. Finte churches and school build
ings, hotels and other business houses
of different kinds. A lot df new 1
dwelling houses have been recently
built and two large buildings under
construction, but apparently nothing
is being done there at this time.
sNext we come to 'Hollywood by the*
Sea, the greatly advertised city. W’e.
took diaper there. The first case we
entered fyad gone out of business. -So
we went 'to another and got service at
a reasonable price. I had a talk withi
the proprietor. He said Hollywood 1
is dead, and he was trying to get his |
money out of what he had there but
could not find anyone who would buy.
AH I saw here for anyone to do was
the $7,000,000 hotel which is going
up there. Houses, tents and business
places are advertised for sale, or refit.
This pla'ee is one Os beauty, but seems
to be about finished.
Next place of importance was the
city of Ma : mi. This is a city in all
of the beauty one could wish to be
j hold. Just numbers of magnificent
| buildings towering, toward the sky.
The most beautiful of all is the McAl
ister Hotel. Here we found ships in
port laden with all kinds of building
material* and other articles of merch
andise. I also found the greatest
gestion of traffic I ever saw. After
driving through the city for some time
we made our way back. Arriving
| here just after dark and counted it a
day well spent. I found old North
Carolina advertised ail along the way.
So I will close, with best wishes to
you and all back in the grand Old
State of N. C.
