This Week's Clue(s)
I was a pretty attractive place, wasn't I? Such a shame I got torn
down - a controversial parking lot stands in my place now. Figures.
So...let your mind wander back to a splendid time in the 1920s (before
the Land Boom collapse) and imagine what I was there for.
Your challenge is to decide what street I was on, and Who Am I?

Last Week's Winner
The winner from our last quiz was Greg Tucci.
The Question: Aren't I just a lovely place? During the 1920s, I was all the rage for
gatherings and even gambling took place upstairs (shhhh...). Even the
City of Sarasota's first mayor, A.B. Edwards commented
on me, "Millionaires came to Sarasota during the 'Boom Years' and were
paid off in silver dollars. No local people, except a few big shots,
were allowed in that guarded door."
The answer: The Mira Mar Auditorium.
