Be transported back to a Golden Era in Miami history. Nearly 250
mid-century postcards portray bikini-clad tourists, tropical cabana
nightclubs, and beaches crowded with basking vacationers, along
with the private yachts, the fragrant orange groves, and the
colorful flamingos, flowers, and neon splendor of the
region.\nArchitecture fans, preservationists, and historians will
delight in these views of the city and its fabulous hotel resorts
developed in the 1920s and \30s. These tourist destinations
embodied the Tropical Deco style -- an aesthetic that combined
streamlined Art Deco with the exotic elements that were locally
inspired. These images also illustrate the re-birth of streamlining
in the 1950s, and the creation of the city\s treasured MiMo or
Miami Modern style. Many of these treasured architectural landmarks
are now lost to further development. \nThe "Miami Magic" that drew
the rich and famous then, still caters to droves of Americans and
Europeans who flock there by land, sea, and air. Here is a
fantastic mini-history of the city and its allure.
