Our Vanishing Americana: Florida

Our Vanishing Americana: Florida

Our Vanishing Americana: Florida captures the spirit of Florida’s Main Streets with nearly 30 short stories from across the state, reflecting a time when small-town general stores, barber shops, and local theaters were at the heart of daily life and community connections. While some of these places still remain, many have disappeared, leaving behind only memories and remnants of a bygone era.

Our Vanishing Americana: Florida is presented by your local public television station.
