Episode #20: Old South Florida

Circa Sunday Night

Road trip, anyone? Jennifer's in Florida again, but this time she's nowhere near the Magic Kingdom. With Miami as home base, she's gassed up the rental car and set the GPS to a place (South Florida) and a decade (the 1920s) where she explores a beautiful old mansion and garden, a historic and spectacular swimming pool, and a glamorous prohibition-era hotel. Oh, and the highlight: Jennifer visits a crazy tourist attraction from the 1920s that she has dreamed of for decades. Does reality live up to the dream? (Spoiler alert: Yes!). She also does some hard-hitting investigative work to determine why Miami drivers honk their horns... A LOT. It could be their way of saying hello... or it could be their way of alerting other drivers that Jennifer is on the road again and a danger to herself and others. Either way, we'll get to the bottom of it. Finally, we learn about Charleston (the song) and The Charleston (the dance). We are visiting the '20s, after all. And speaking of flappers (were we speaking of flappers?) Jennifer puts all the Circa Sunday Night listeners to sleep with the latest addition to the Vintage Century Reading Room. Tonight's episode is a virtual vacation, so pack your bags and hop a plane. We'll meet you in Miami!
