A Home To World War II Veterans

One of Miami's oldest communities, the High Pines neighborhood blossomed as World War II veterans returned to Miami to start new lives, lured by the warm weather and their wartime memories. 

Since High Pines was close to an array of job opportunities, it was the perfect neighborhood to start over. 

Most veterans began working for the Holsum Bakery at the crossroads of Sunset and Red Road.
