Um the "cream soup bowl" has two handles ....no I believe two handles are a sugar bowl and back in the day not sure what year but sugar bowls did not have lids!!!
So glad that the family is speak about their loved one and the injustice that he suffered. Thank you all for this. I will not forget his name Rubin Stacy!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will LOVE having a dinner and a drink here once it's restored and transformed into a luxury bank bar! I'll make a special trip to experience this gem of American History. Please do not let the greed and destructive nature of those whom hate history prevail.
Dr Richard Howard was my great grandfather. His surgery and home was located on Las Olas Blvd. after graduating Med School, He moved to Ft Lauderdale in1913. I have his front porch rattan “waiting room” furniture. Federal highway was called rocky road. His daughter, Helen Howard Woodruff was my favorite Aunt. Miami’s main library publishes the TEQUESTA MAGAZINE, loaded with wonderful stories about south Florida.
Don't know why I passed it up but came across a plate or bowl don't remember which labeled depression glass that had a smashed watch and other matalic items incased in the base?
huh...I just found out i'm directly related to this guy. He's my 5th great grandfather...Also, i live in FL but I was born in Texas and moved here in 91 and never knew until today. Wild
I worked at the plant from 1974 to 77 started at age 13 ...I have the original cash register 1934 model ...tried to donate it to the gardens but they were uninterested ...I have many memories
Hollywood native here. 1953. My mom worked at Hollywood Beach Hotel during WW2. My uncle was the general manager back then. Love revisiting the history of old Hollywood. It sure is not that today.
Excellent! My home town. I grew up near South Lake - a gorgeous residential neighborhood. Although I no longer live in Hollywood, it remains forever in my heart.
Amazing information. Wish the presenter didn't come off as a jerk. Didn't give room for questions but made everyone feel stupid for not interrupting him to ask questions. Thankful for the telling of this history though.
I love "Midnight Cowboy". One of my all time favorite movies. And I also love the soundtrack. For many years I thought those Hollywood scenes were filmed in Miami.
Thank you for your history lesson. It really helped me understand my grandfather's life..I was told he was a glassblowing but then he followed the gas boom. I didn't understand how it was connected. We always had interesting glass items mostly used for special occasions. We also had glass ball paperweights. I have been trying to identify some of the glass pieces Ihave..some passed onto me by family and some I bought. Thank you.
Thank you! I lived in Hollywood for for 20 years until I moved to Cooper City 3 years ago. Enjoyed the history recap, pictures, and Commissioner Beam's frank commentary.
What an incredible and informative talk given by John Fiori!! I took down a lot of notes!! Thank you for so generously sharing your time with us, John!!
Great research work by Mary Beth Busutil on behalf of Hollywood Historical Society. Architectural history is fascinating. Learned about glorious past of the City of Hollywood and its famous architect Bayard Lukens. Hope younger generations benefit from this wonderful and interesting presentation. Keep doing this important research work.
