It was the 1935 Hurricane that tore up the tracks to Key West...It was almost as severe at the 1926 storm. There was a place nearby called The Shrimp Place. My parents liked to go there because meals were very inexpensive.

My Dad arrived in Miami a few years before I was born in there in 1924. He told me he rode the train from Miami to Key West before a hurricane tore up the tracks/bridges.
