Q. In the 1920s Hugh M. Anderson and Roy C. Wright conceived the idea of a 100 foot wide boulevard destined to reach from where the old Royal Palm Hotel sat beside the Miami River up to Hollywood. Today we know it as ____________?
A. Biscayne Boulevard
During the 1910’s and early 1920’s there was no large road connecting downtown Miami and Miami Shores. In March of 1927 a carefully planned main road was opened to car traffic. In the process roughly eighty five buildings were torn down, twelve houses were moved and many other houses lost their porches.
