St Petersburg Florida as Tourist Paradise 1924
Dan L Davis describes St Petersburg Florida in March 1924. He notes a large winter population of 100000, rapid real estate growth, high hotel and room rents, and vacant front-foot prices up to 5000 dollars. The city hosts extensive parks, a 200 piece Royal Scotch Highlanders Band, dozens of clubs, golf courses, abundant fishing, and a city commission government with its own utilities and heavy advertising. Davis mentions notable visitors and a busy library with a 10000 volume budget, plus widespread automobile use and lush tropical flora downtown.
