The three things that turned southwest Florida from an uninhabitable swamp into a populous tourist haven were mosquito control, air conditioning and transportation. The Atlantic Coast Line ran intermittently as a freight line and as a passenger line.
This is the third panel of murals on the long wall of a Bonita Springs building,
painted by Garrett Stinchcomb. This post is linked to Monday Mural.
