It was a great time in Miami Beach with motels and hotels along the beach. Across Collins Ave. it was still very residential with private homes, not hi-rise condos. I remember the shuffleboard and high dive tournaments, the ice cream shop, the movie and bingo nights. Not far from the motel there was the Rascal House and Wolfie’s. I had great memories of my Christmas vacations at the Waikiki Motel.

I haven’t been to Miami Beach in over 30 years so I know not if its still there although I tend to believe it’s not. I moved to the real Waikiki actually!

Ain’t progress grand?
