Abstract

Tampa-Florida's Big City
Platt, Chester C. | February 17, 1926 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the Florida's big city-Tampa. Tampa-Florida's big city; big ships in the harbor; big cigar factories; big skyscrapers; big municipal hotel; big phosphate mines, and big orange groves surrounding the city. The old county courthouse is a veritable monument to filth. Nobody can visit it without contempt of court. There is much rubbish in the courthouse park, the tourists' principal loafing-place and sun-bath resort. A delightful escape from Tampa is Davis Islands, when the sand-suckers have completed their work and the islands are properly protected by sea walls.
