Moved to Fort Lauderdale from VA. few years back. The oldest things I saw were homes built in the 1940s and 50s. Now I knew FTL had to have some type of history but where. Then I discovered the Stranahan House, The Bonnet House and other points of interest. But sadly many other structures have vanished. It is important to support what real history the city has before more places such as the afore mentioned disappeared. Granted these places are not nearly as old as some but they are just as important.

Well said. Thank you! Have you visited Historic Fort Lauderdale, 231 SW2nd ave at the river.
@brianfisher4940Ай бұрын
@TheBaileywicke Yes indeed. Interesting part of town. Also to the Riverwalk monthly jazz festive, the Flamingo Gardens, and many local points of interest from the Keys to Palm Beach. Now a shameless plug for the Casablanca on A1A just up from Las Olas.

Broward General in 1950, was my birthplace as it was my father's in 1927, then called the Edwards-Maxwell Hospital. My grandfather was in the Militia until called to serve in the Spanish-American war. He returned to Lauderdale to tend to his business as a surveyor and road builder, mapping out and building some of the most foundational roads from New River North and the development of Victoria Park, down Los Olas to the beaches. His neighbor and best friend owned the dredge company that formed the Isles of Venice. He worked tirelessly to rebuild the 1926 hurricane-damaged streets and properties to salvage great losses and save the city from total ruin. For that, I will forever be proud of him. By the 1070's I had lost the quaint feeling of my childhood home. Just getting around was growing miserable, so I moved North to Jacksonville, but Lauderdale will always be a part of me.

Hi! Where's Brownie's bar? I can't find It.😢
@TheBaileywicke Жыл бұрын
The owner retired and closed the bar. A quote from my book, A New River Runs Through It, A History of Fort Lauderdale, ISBN: 9798393784010: Brownie’s continued on as the town’s oldest bar until 2019 when it closed for good. Lawyer John Phillips the final owner stated that the recession, life changes, and a good offer all led him to sell the bar he owned since 1999. Phillips said, "We weren’t fancy. It was dark and old and that’s why people liked it." I think the building has been demolished now.

Ahhh yes, a whole group of us got kicked out of Brownie's back in the 70's after drinking there for hours. The underage ones that were with us kept knocking over the pitchers 🤣

Eighy hundred black people were ethnically cleansed,and their properties seized in the name of urban renewal. Similar housing in Haight-Ashbury end South Street became hipster boutique neighborhoods. They even stuck a Catholic Church on the property. This is where Abraham Lincoln and John Wesley vacationed. An Acme in the center of town?

This was a great look back, thanks My grandparents owned 1 of the Bryan homes, now part of RW where I lived from 1965-about to 1974 or 1975. The city declared imminent domain on the property for historic value and they were forced to move out. I have photos of the old place the way my grandparents ran it as the Ship Apartments with 6 units. It was the best days of growing up in Fort Lauderdale.
