Miami Beach in the 1960’s …

I posted a photo similar to this one earlier, but I looked at this negative and it looked a little sharper and clearer, so I just decided to post it again ( I have found some more negative strips taken in Miami during the 1950’s and have been working them up, so check back ) .  This is the FountainBleau Hotel in Miami Beach.   I think I can see Sammy, Dino and Frank in one of those windows looking out over the boulevard, maybe looking out for Meyer Lansky or one of his other men.   You can never be to sure back in the 1950’s … Las Vegas was still new and was not drawing the crowds that Miami was back then.  And besides, if the action was not happening here, you could just hop over to Havana and keep the party going.  Thanks for looking … Frank
