You know this episode could have been titled Meals From South Florida because I recently sent out the following question in a survey; If you have a friend coming to South Florida for the first time, what would be the one restaurant that you would take them to?

The answers might surprise you and the #1 absolutely surprised me. Is your fave eating spot on the list? Le Tub? Joe's Stone Crabs? The Mai Kai Restaurant? Jaxson's Ice Cream Parlor? Who made the list and who didn't? And who got voted #1?

Let's Take a TALK down Restaurant Row to see what you and your South Florida neighbors named as the one restaurant to take a first-time visitor.

In this episode, I explore the life and legacy of Florida businessman James Neville McArthur, the founding father of the never-to-be-forgotten McArthur Dairy but who was also a major contibutor to the cultural and educational growth of all of South Florida. Heck, they even named a high school aafter him. Guess which one.

Long before Miami became one of the world's most famous cities, it was a remote frontier settlement along the Miami River. In this episode of Tales From South Florida, we explore the lives of William and Mary Brickell, their friendship with Julia Tuttle, their partnership with Henry Flagler, and the events that led to the founding of Miami in 1896.

Discover what Miami was called before incorporation, how the Great Freeze helped change Florida's future, and why the Brickell name remains one of the most recognized names in South Florida today.

Your kind support helps to keep the stories coming. I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. BUY ME A COFFEE
