Lazy days of summer



It took me a couple of times before I realized that the object in the foreground was a car. How absolutely cool! I mean, check that out. I believe (based on the theme of this perfect batch of pictures) that these people may be enjoying a beach at Lake Worth, Florida, one that was part of the 1922 Casino and Baths Entertainment Complex. It appears that these pictures may have been taken in the 20's. The 30's are possible too but I'm not sure. The car certainly looks 20's-30's but I'm not an expert on cars. I am sort of basing my guess on the photo of the casino itself and the knowledge that it was heavily damaged in 1928 and again in 47. Maybe someone else can take a guess. I will be posting many photos from this group.
