This podcast episode features South Florida institutions and places that are celebrating their 100th birthday over the course of the next year (2025 -26). The great building boom of the 1920s peaked 100 years ago in 1925, and many of Dade County’s prominent cities were founded during this time. Coral Gables, Miami Springs, Opa-locka, and Hialeah are several of these municipalities that are celebrating their centennial.
One of Miami’s most prominent education institutions, University of Miami, was founded in 1925. The Venetian Pool, Biltmore, Miami News / Freedom Tower, as well as many other building boom edifices that are still standing will celebrate their 100th anniversary. Join me and Joshua Ceballos from WLRN as we discuss some of the many centennial celebrations which will be highlighted as part of WLRN’s ‘History We Call Home’ series which will share stories of these places over the course of the next year.
