  Gary L. asked:

  Someone asked sometime ago, where do all the photos come from. Simple answer web searches. Some are postcards, which I have purchased over the years. I was surprised to find many in local antique stores here in Pennsylvania. There are many photographs and postcards for sale on Ebay. Then lastly I have boxes of personal photographs, that still need to be scanned and put on the web. It has been just a desire to save and display memories before they fade away. If anyone has old pictures on North Miami, please feel free to share.

  Kimberly W. asked:

  Does anyone have a picture of the Floridan Hotel? I remember eating in the snack bar on the side of the building.

  

  Sandra W. replied:

  Try going to the web site www.floridamemory.com and search the photography archives. It's a wonderful site:-) I've found a number of pictures of old Tallahassee, relatives, and even my great-grandmother's application to receive Civil War Widow's Pension.
