In the Driftway
February 20, 1929 issue

Florida's two worst disasters in recent years have been the boom of 1925-1926 and the hurricane of 1928. So far as the eye goes, at least, there are not many uncouth effects of either left today, but on the road from Miami to Palm Beach one sees traces of both. There are reminders of the hurricane in palm trees torn and denuded in their tops and occasional wrecked buildings still lying as they fell. Of the boom the evidences consist mostly of "developments" which have signally failed to develop. In many cases there is nothing but a few streets aimlessly meandering across a sandy plain, with a couple of stone pillars rising as a gateway at the entrance to the tract.
