In this episode of Tales From South Florida,Take a TALK Down Memory Lane as host Bill Monty explores the founding and evolution of Hollywood, Florida — from scrubland and marshes to a planned, grand “City By the Sea.” Learn how developer Joseph Wesley Young, Jr. laid out wide boulevards, man-made lakes, a beachfront promenade, and a dream community that became one of Broward County’s and Florida's most beloved seaside towns.We trace the ups and downs — the 1920s boom, the 1926 hurricane, post-WWII growth — and how today’s Historic Downtown and the laid-back beachfront Broadwalk still echo Young’s original vision.Hit play to stroll through Hollywood’s past — and don’t forget to visit talesfromsouthflorida.com for more stories from our region’s roots.Mentioned in this episode:Interview with Filmmaker, Joseph Greco: Growing Up in South FloridaHistoric Hemingway's Restaurant in HollywoodText me your favorite South Florida memory.Support the showClick the Leave A Message link above to text Bill Monty...FREE!Share your Memories here: Send a voice message to TalesFromSouthFloridaVisit our website at Tales From South Florida Want to be a guest on Tales From South Florida?
