Product Description
Miami Beach Memories: A Nostalgic Chronicle of Days Gone By is an oral history of the people and events that shaped this tropical island from the 1920s through the 1960s. To create this engaging and accessible volume, Biondi interviewed 101 residents, from maids and taxi drivers to burlesque strippers, convicted criminals, and famous actors and comedians. Their memories form a vivid portrait of life in the island's "Golden Era," one marked by incredible cultural and social changes. In addition, hundreds of black-and-white archival photos, some by famous celebrity photographer Ray Fisher, bring these voices and Miami Beach's history to life.

Product Review Summary: a snapshot of days gone by in Miami Beach I remember Miami Beach as a child when my family traveled there on vacation. This book brought back so many fond memories and really gave me so much historical and social history about Miami Beach over the decades. Everyone I gave this book to enjoyed it as much as I did. It really takes you back in time and the pictures are great to look at. Joann Biondi has done a great job in bringing everything together in this enjoyable and informative book.
