Where Am I?

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.
