PF #205 Miami 1927 Photo Album

A collection of vintage photographs of Miami, very interesting. At first glance it seems like a suggestion that we'll be getting more photographs/screenshots of Miami (Vice City) soon.

What I wonder is the relevance of the year 1927 (if any). That year the first delivery of US mail from Key West to Havana took place by air via Pan Am, and it is also the year Al Capone began wintering in Miami. Other than that it seemed like a fairly uneventful year for the area, with a mild hurricane season.

reminds me of the red dead 2 ui somewhat?



As for the significance of the year 1927, a timeline of Miami exists on Wikipedia and there's a few key historical events listed. Amongst which is the first airport being built connecting Miami to the world of air travel.
