NORTH MIAMI – In a December 1970 edition of National Geographic, the cover subject was pollution. One of the “pollutions” photographed was visual pollution.
To illustrate the point, the magazine photographed the highway strip along Route 1 in North Miami.
Today, the strip is completely changed, and almost denuded of all signs. Also missing are the Holbrook Antique Arms & Gun Museum, A&V Teak and International Interiors.
Holbrook was the most interesting; it sold wholesale art relics and displayed military medals.
We are curious if anyone remembers the Night Owl. It is a curious name for a salon, we admit.
