@beyondflorida: Laura Upthegrove (October 5, 1896 – August 6, 1927) was a 20th-century American outlaw, bank robber, bootlegger, and occasional pirate active in southern Florida during the 1910s and 1920s, along with the Ashley Gang. She was born in Reddick Florida, and is buried in West Palm Beach.

according to Google the name up the Grove is a American bastardization of the name Op De Graef. sounds like a direct translation, and it also sounds like she didn't want people to know she was Dutch

Can you please do Edgewater FL by NSB? I live on the river and found over 100 whiskey prohibition bottles, plus lots of china pieces from the 1800's and 1940's as well. Al Capone's involvement in the liquor smuggling was supposedly how the liquor bottles still wash up weekly from the barrier island. Our museum is mostly about NSB but not Edgewater right against it.
