Classic Florida and classic streamlined architecture with a nautical touch.

    It brings back nostalgic memories of a summer vacation where we drove along the coast from Texas to Florida and then drove back on the upside of the southern states, stopping in Tennessee to visit Graceland.

    The only 7 Seas famous over here is cod liver oil!

    Architectural subjects can be a real drag, (one can stand just so many views of hospitals, post offices and other municipal buildings) but a cool structure like that is, well....it's cool!

    Anything next to a city's largest parking garage has gotta be good, right? It's architects, not architecture that are the drag Roundup, takes one to know one as they say! Personally, I'll take another post office over this somewhat cobbled together version of streamline moderne design- there are alot better examples to be found in Miami- but what really interests me about this card is the sky which seems to be conjured up by Jimi Hendrix after smoking a Maxfield Parish painting...

    Well, the huge parking garage must have been a status symbol. There may be better examples in Miami, but I think this is a pretty fun example. I suspect we may have to re-name you Snarkitecht.

    Way cool architecture. It reminds me of those architectural perspective classes in college where you draw your building lines all the way down to the horizon line. The lines on this postcard are really neat.
