Stiltsville: Generations on the Flats
Special | 28m 49sVideo has Closed Captions
A half-hour show takes viewers on a journey of intrigue, triumphs, and modern day struggle
It was the early 1930s. Miami was still a young city, and a community was starting to spring up in the most unlikely of places: the middle of Biscayne Bay. Bait shops. Speakeasies. Gambling halls. Homes. Back then it was known as “The Shacks.” Today, we know this community as Stiltsville. Watch as we uncover a Miami community of the past trying desperately to preserve Stiltsville for the future
