Ludlam Canal Rope Swing Collage(Photo courtesy Miami Springs Historical Society and Museum.)

These photos show Ron Palmer and friends on the rope swing on the west bank of the Ludlam canal across from Bey’s Grocery in the southwest corner of Miami Springs. I spent many summer days on this rope swing and another one farther north around Plover Ave. where we would occasionally see small alligators 1958-1960.
