GREAT DEPRESSION IN MIAMI BEACH
Title
THE GREAT DEPRESSION IN MIAMI BEACH.
Creator

Abstract/Description
This thesis explores the impact of the Great Depression on the resort city of Miami Beach, Florida. The city was not immune to the effects of the economic collapse of the 1930s. However, an examination of building department records, city employee salaries, tax collections, and other indicators demonstrate that Miami Beach suffered only temporarily in the early 1930s, while the rest of the nation plunged into economic depression.

Show moreThis thesis explores the impact of the Great Depression on the resort city of Miami Beach, Florida. The city was not immune to the effects of the economic collapse of the 1930s. However, an examination of building department records, city employee salaries, tax collections, and other indicators demonstrate that Miami Beach suffered only temporarily in the early 1930s, while the rest of the nation plunged into economic depression. The city's early developer, Carl Fisher, sold expensive house lots and planned a playground for rich winter residents. The depression undermined these plans, and resulted in an economy dependent on less affluent tourists residing in moderately priced hotels. The city had good political leadership and advertised its attractions effectively. As a result, Miami Beach experienced only a short period of hard times and then continued to grow during the depressing years.

Show moreBud and Scooter, two teenaged cousins, are making the trip of their young lives in the midst of the Great Depression. Their family friend in rural Florida, Jake Gilchrist, head of a poor family with three small children, has died while visiting his sick mother on Long Island. His wife cannot afford to have his body shipped back by train for burial, so Bud and Scooter volunteer for a goodwill mission and grand adventure: they take Bud's father's pickup truck, drive a thousand miles up US 1, pick up Jake's body, pack it in ice, and transport it back to Florida. Along the way they meet people (both common and extraordinary), they work out their differences (with words and with fists), they come face-to-face with beauty and goodness as well as with poverty and evil.. .and they get to see the Empire State Building.
