People who got away from it all (and waded in their waste).
Report from Miami: today I was introduced to Stiltsville, an area miles off the Florida coast (yet covered in only four to six feet of water) where maniacs once built houses in the path of nature's fury.
Prohibition apparently did things like this to people's minds.
Imagine living in a wading pool, splashing around with all of your (and your neighbors') various effluvia, 24/7. Glurb.
On the plus side, however, our boat captain says the fishing was "real good around there back then. Lot of crabs, too."
I can only imagine.
