Miami's right, but not at the PO. It was at Bayfront Park.

Time zones:
OK, I stand corrected. I was looking for two time zones and you got that part right. I missed your Suwannee River comment. Actually, I think it's the Chattahoochee(?) that divides the zones.

Did jgussler get this right, sunrico? If not, I'm gonna guess Monroe. Pretty huge, about 1/2 the everglades and all the Keys! Or don't they count water when sizing them? |

hahahaha I read a report to fast. I read the report from J Edgar Hoover and he mentioned being on an investigation of the bomb attemp when he was notified about the assassination attempt on FDR. The bomb was in the post office. But this time I read further. He was working on the bomb case and the attempted assassination was elswhere. Bayfront park. haha
Also, the person that was killed, Was it Mrs. Joseph Gill? |

Originally called Cayo Hueso (Island of Bones) and from that, the Spanish to English translation makes it into Key West? |

No, it was Anton Cermak, the mayor of Chicago. Who's Mrs. Gill? Also, what was the Eaton Library? Is that the Central Library in Bayfront Pk.? (Not sure if that''s even still there--it was when I was in high school ages ago  .) |
