Crystal Springs Roller Rink - Crystal Springs, Florida

38030 Central Avenue - While driving home one day from somewhere we happened upon this sign for th Crystal Springs Roller Rink.  Being in the skating business, my partner decided we needed to go and check it out.  The rink is located in the absolute middle of nowhere at the end of a dirt road.  We were on the verge of turning around just before we finally found it.  As you can see below it has a certain rustic charm.

Clyde Hotel - Miami Beach, Florida

1430 Ocean Drive -  Currently it seems that this 1941 Lawrence Murray Dixon hotel is part of Hilton Grand Vacation Suites.  There was no name on the hotel when I took these pictures in November of 2009.  Recent pictures of the building show it named Ocean Plaza.

Here is a vintage post card of the Clyde hotel from Art Deco Architecture.
